Care demands regarding home-care service: a descriptive study

Abstract

Aim:To characterize the profile of adult patients of the Home Care Program (HCP) of the Conceição Hospital Group (CHG) and their demands for nursing support. Method: This is a descriptive exploratory study incorporating retrospective data collection. Results: Of the 826 adult patients supported by HCP/CHG (median follow-up of 21 days and five visits), the majority were female (53.9%) and over 65 years of age (50.6%). The main pathologies were thromboembolism (10.9%) and cerebrovascular accident (10.3%). The main demands in terms of nursing care were dressing (32.4%) and monitoring blood glucose levels (19.7%). Discussion:The prevalence of elderly in the sample can be explained by population aging. This data, together with pathologies associated with greater physical dependence, can justify the need for specific nursing care. Conclusion:The characterization of patients can contribute to the evaluation of the complexity of home care and provide better guidance in terms of care in place.

O custo financeiro dos tributos sobre consumo nas cadeias de suprimento brasileiras: uma proposta metodológica

“…A análise de sensibilidade para verificar alterações percentuais em uma variável de interesse em diferentes cenários projetados pode ser feita por meio de modelos de regressão linear (COYLE;BUXTON;O´BRIEN, 2003;MACHADO;SIMÕES, 2008). No presente, estudo foram simulados 200 cenários distintos de cadeias de suprimentos para um produto fictício, com o objetivo de analisar a sensibilidade do custo financeiro em relação ao preço de venda e ao tempo que o produto leva até chegar ao consumidor em cada etapa desse processo.…”
