The results showed that the role of the nursing team in the accreditation involves care, administrative, educational and research issues. The study subjects presented different perceptions regarding the influence of the accreditation process in their work. The positive aspects of personal growth and valorization of the curriculum were highlighted as well as negative aspects such as stress and little professional valorization.

Percepção da equipe de enfermagem do Centro Cirúrgico acerca da Acreditação Hospitalar em um Hospital Universitário

“…The nurse, as the leader of the nursing team in the quality control process, fulfills a fundamental role, as they represent the professional category in the health team that is in constant contact with the patient, and is a link of communication with the other professionals. One study that proposes to investigate the performance and the influences of nursing on the hospital accreditation process concludes that -uniquely to nurses -managerial performance predominates in the accreditation process at the expense of the job performance of the professional nursing technician (14) . At the operational level, the nurse must supervise the team in a continuous and strategic way in accordance with defined strategies to maintain the standard of established quality (15) .…”
