Proposta de protocolo de avaliação e controle da dor aguda na emergência

Abstract

Abstract : This is a qualitative study of the convergent type, which aimed to develop together with nurses and nursing residents in the Emergency Room of the University Hospital of UFSC, a proposed protocol for evaluating nursing care and control adult patients with acute pain. Data collection occurred between the months of September to December 2012 and was organized in two stages. The first phase consisted of semi-structured interviews with 15 professionals from the following guiding question: what nursing care are needed to make a specific protocol for the emergency environment in adult patients with acute pain? The second stage is constituted by group discussions from a meeting with the participation of 10 professionals. The meeting was scheduled as the time preference and the availability of participants. The completion of the group discussion aimed to socialize the results obtained from the interviews and elect collectively care to compose a draft protocol to patient care with acute pain in emergency. The results and discussion of this research were presented through two manuscripts entitled "Proposed protocol for assessment of acute pain in emergency: a collective" and "Proposed protocol for the control of acute pain in emergency: a collective." The analysis of data relating to the two phases of collection suggests that professionals possess some knowledge about the topic of pain, however, were identified limitations regarding the practice routine care referred to, which demonstrates the need for strategies that provide its effectiveness . Thus, it is believed that the implementation of the proposed protocol built collectively by these professionals can assist healthcare practice, contributing to the optimization and qualification process of nursing care to patients complaining of acute pain in emergency rooms.
