Abstract

Sizing up nursing staff is the initial step of the provision process of human resources, which objectifies the prediction of the number of personnel required to render clients nursing assistance. The different methods of provision selected will reassure (or not) qualitative aspects which must be observed to deliver safe and prime-quality assistance. A descriptive-exploratory study was carried out to approach those issues. Such a study objectified to analyze different theoretical empirical methods used by nurses to figure out nursing personnel. The selected units were: Surgical Unit, Supply Unit and Medical Unit of 2(two) big hospitals and 2(two) medium-sized hospitals in Curitiba. It was concluded that the traditional formula was the most mentioned. It was evidenced a lack in theoretical-scientific ground regarding the use of methods for sizing up human resources. Such lack hinders the increase in the number of employees, which evidenced a deficit in this study.
