Abstract

Objective: to identify the pre-analytical conducts that can influence the results of the urine summary test.
Method: this is an exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study, of quantitative nature, conducted with 246 patients from a public reference laboratory in the municipality of João Pessoa, Paraíba, during the months of June and July 2019. Data analysis was performed by descriptive and inferential statistics, with Chi-square Test and Spearman Correlation, cast after Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
Results: regarding knowledge about the exam, 138 (56.1%) of the participants said they had it, but 174 (70.7%) reported not having been instructed before the exam. The correlation showed that the greater the knowledge, the more appropriate were the pre-analytical procedures.
Conclusion: a low level of knowledge about the procedure was observed, contributing to inadequate pre-analytical conducts. The importance of offering the client guidance on the collection of the exam is highlighted.
