Developing a nursing healthcare protocol: a case report

Abstract

Objective: to report the use experience of convergent healthcare research for developing a nursing care protocol. Method: convergent care research developed in university hospital, from July to December 2016, with 27 participants. Results: the stages of the research and its results are described in the steps: conception, instrumentation, screening and analysis. The end result was the nursing care protocol in day zero of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Conclusion: convergent care research was an appropriate method for developing the care protocol, and an important contribution to the approximation between theory and practice. The nursing care protocol was the result of this study and confirmed both the purpose of the research as a professional Master's in acquiring knowledge aimed at improving professional practice.

Nursing protocol for children with sickle cell disease in emergency room: a convergent-care approach

“…Thus, the importance of CCR is reinforced as an appropriate method in the construction of the care protocol (28) , with a significant contribution to the approximation between theory and practice; in addition to the active participation of the participants during the research, which results in their support and agreement on the proposal for transformations and improvements to the work environment based on the researched theme, as reaffirmed by other studies carried out with the aforementioned methodology (29)(30) .…”

Protocolo de enfermagem à criança com doença falciforme na emergência: uma abordagem convergente-assistencial

“…Um estudo sobre a construção compartilhada do protocolo assistencial para a mulher em processo de parturição com a PCA possibilitou identificar e compreender as barreiras e fragilidades no processo assistencial, refletir e discutir possibilidades para nortear as ações de cada profissional envolvido (27) . Desse modo, reforça-se a importância da PCA como método apropriado na construção do protocolo de cuidados (28) , com contribuição significativa na aproximação entre teoria e prática. Além disso, destaca-se atuação ativa dos participantes durante a pesquisa, o que resulta no seu apoio e na concordância diante da proposta de transformações e melhorias para o ambiente de trabalho a partir da temática pesquisada, como reafirmam outros estudos realizados com essa metodologia (29)(30) .…”

Elaboration and validation of a protocol for safe administration of enteral nutrition in hospitalized patients

“…The use of a protocol in care allows integrating care theory and practice, discouraging ritualistic actions. It is believed that nurses have an important role in promoting the health of people using EN, as a health educator, responsible for patient care and looking for improvements, seeking strategies to promote the quality of care provided (23) . Thus, the nurse, as well as the other health professionals, when using the EN protocol, performs differentiated care, striving for care that brings together research and care practice.…”

“…A study (22) that evaluated the use of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) by nursing, identified weaknesses such as the reduced number of professionals, inadequate physical structure and absence of materials. The protocol presented in this study differs from SOP (23) , as it is not restricted to its dissemination only. The implementation of this protocol went further, as it provided stages, ranging from the verification of available supplies to the need for qualified human resources.…”
