Pondering over the disadvantages of
a non-computerized nursing practice, it can be
realized that the profession itself is being
undervalued, contributing for its stagnation. That
situation can be evidenced when nursing prescription
is not effected, and the nursing team is ultimately
guided by the medical prescription, making nurses’
participation in decision-making apparently
unnecessary. The implementation of a Computerized
Nursing Practice (CNP) is necessary for the
definition, differentiation and valuing of nursing
profession as well as of its professionals besides
being legally demanded according to COFEN
(Federal Nursing Council) Resolution 272/ 2002.
This study objectified: a) identify the reasons
why Nursing Care Prescription was not being carried
out in the Admittance Units of a Teaching Hospital;
b) point out feasible alternatives to foster favorable
nursing actions and strategies to set up, implement
and consolidate nursing care prescription. Data were
gathered through a questionnaire answered by 37
(thirty-seven) nurses. The result was as follows:
unreliability and culture for undervaluing nursing
prescription; lack of time; staff shortage; non-outlined
priorities in order to carry out and organize nursing
tasks; perceptions on the repercussion of work
organization, quality-level of practice and
professional valuing, besides feasible strategies to
carry it out.
