Abstract

Objective: to know nurses’ perception of their role in the planning of hospital discharge for patients who underwent myocardial revascularization surgery.
Method: Qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study, developed in a public hospital in northern Brazil. Data was collected from 16 nurses in the August-September 2018 period, with the use of a questionnaire. Content analysis technique was used.
Results: Two thematic categories were identified: “Hospital discharge planning, meanings and attitudes in the daily practice of care” and “Difficulties faced by nurses in the planning of hospital discharge”
Final considerations: The nurses found that their participation in hospital discharge planning is insufficient and they do not seem to understand this planning as a process to be theorized and practiced in the context of Nursing Care Systematization. Some factors make it difficult for nurses to perform their activities, such as poor teamwork, excessive non-nursing tasks, inadequate staff sizing and work overload.
