Abstract

This study aimed to investigate what the nurses working in an Intensive Care Unit in a mid-size hospital understood about the operationalization of the Systematization of Nursing Care. This research was descriptive and exploratory, and has a qualitative approach. It was undertaken in the period March – June 2011. The data was analyzed through discussion of the most-frequently-mentioned ideas. These were grouped in elements which translate them in summary form, resulting in the categories Systematization of Nursing Care: an effective necessity in the nurse’s routine and Systematization of Nursing Care: a duty in the hospital routine. One may say that the research’s subjects, although aware of the need for the Systematization of Nursing Care at work, did not operationalize it, which allows one to consider that some health professionals still underpin their knowledge in the biomedical model.
