CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION OF NURSING RECORD IN A PATIENT WITH CARDIORRESIRATORY STOP AT ONCOLOGICAL UNIT
Nursing Record. Oncologic nursing. Palliative care. Cardiac arrest.
Nursing records should be objective, clear, concise, punctual and follow a chronological order, describing the care provided and the observations made. Thus, it is emphasized the importance of properly, completely and reliably performing the records about cardiopulmonary arrest when properly indicated or in those patients with no prospect of cure or recovery. The objective is to construct and validate a protocol for nursing registration in patients with cardiorespiratory arrest in an oncology unit. This is a methodological development study with a quantitative validation approach, developed in three stages. The first is to describe the performance of nurses of the oncology unit regarding the recording of patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, developed in the oncology and hematology sector of a University Hospital, with 48 nursing professionals. Data will be collected through a questionnaire and analyzed by descriptive statistics, using Microsoft-Excel and SPSS 20.0 software. The second stage aims to construct the nursing registry items for the patient in cardiopulmonary arrest in an oncologic unit from the results of the previous phase and a literature review. The last one is to identify the agreement of the content and appearance of the nursing record for the patient with cardiorespiratory arrest in an oncologic unit by a panel composed of 20 judges. It is believed that the use of a nursing registry for patients with cardiopulmonary arrest in an oncology unit with or without order not to resuscitate favors the sequential annotation of events, evaluates the quality of care provided, makes it possible to record the work in a real way and prevents data loss and thus contributing to further studies.
