MANAGEMENT OF CONSUMPTION MATERIALS AT THE MATERNIDADE DO DIVINO AMOR HOSPITAL
Materials management. Protocols. Law Suit.
The hospital is a complex organization where a vast division of labor with high specialization is required and requires efficient administration. The improvement and efficiency of the logistics management of materials in the hospital sector still has a long way to go. The Materials and Sterilization Center (CME) has a history that has been following surgical procedures, with the goal of ensuring better conditions for surgery and invasive procedures in post-surgical care. This work aimed to implement and validate material control protocols in a CME of a Hospital. In the hospital environment, stocks play a very important role, they make the service possible to be performed and must be managed efficiently. Managing stocks is carrying out planning in the form of controlling materials within an organization. Therefore, the implementation of management mechanisms creates a more favorable work environment for the organization and management of materials, which occurred with the insertion of protocols in the sector. Protocols are structured recommendations to adapt decisions made by health professionals and/or users regarding adequate care in the most diverse circumstances. They are considered important tools for solving various problems in care and service management. It is a methodological study with a quantitative approach, for the construction and validation of content and appearance of six work instruments. The study population consisted of one hundred percent of professional nurses working in the sector. For data collection, semi-structured questionnaires were used. For the construction of the applied questionnaire, the model for assessing the difficulty and convenience of educational materials was used, translated into Portuguese and after adaptations, called Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM), which analyzed aspects related to objectives, organization, writing style. , appearance and motivation of educational material. And data analysis was performed manually by the researcher through text editing in Word. According to the literature, the judgments and reliability of the instruments are determined by the instrument's ability to measure the attribute with a level of agreement among participants of 80%. For this research, this level of agreement was used. Most of the judges' suggestions were accepted, except to arrange the items in alphabetical order. To validate the content of the protocol, a Lirked-type scale with five points was created, where each answer is assigned a score. The response gradients will be: 0 = strongly disagree, 1 = disagree, 2 = neither agree nor disagree; 3 = agree, 4 = totally agree”. When analyzing the content validity, the results obtained by calculating the CVI proved to be valid since the value of the total level of agreement between them was 0.94, which corroborates the agreement rate considered in this research, that was above IVC greater than or equal to 0.80. The construction of management control instruments conceived the development of tools with potential for innovation to support decision-making by nursing professionals in the sector and thus better manage stocks, as well as the records in the protocols, provide security for the teams.
