Abstract

Objective: To map scientific evidence on the (in)adequacy of the Technical Safety Index provided by the Federal Nursing Council to cover absenteeism rates in Brazilian hospital nursing.

Method: Scoping review conducted according to Joanna Briggs Institute criteria. The search was carried out in February 2024, in the sources: Virtual Health Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, CAPES Periodical Portal and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. Cross-sectional studies conducted in the hospital environment, published between 2004 and 2024, were included. After selecting the recruited material (n=1,297), the sample (n=29) was analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Results: Of the selected studies, 86.2% indicated superiority in the percentage of absence coverage recommended by the entity. Absenteeism rates ranged from 0% to 44.7% among nurses and from 0.47% to 46% among technicians/assistants. The estimated technical safety index ranged from 8.3% to 53% for nurses and from 8.77% to 54.3% for mid-level professionals.

Final considerations: There is evidence to support that the minimum percentage of absenteeism coverage (6.7%) provided for by the regulatory entity is not sufficient, especially in the context of public hospitals.

技术安全指数构成中医院护理缺勤覆盖率：6.67%是否足够？

目的：绘制由联邦护理委员会提供的技术安全指数是否足够的科学证据，以涵盖巴西医院护理的缺勤率。方法：根据乔安娜布里格斯研究所的标准进行范围审查。检索于2024年2月进行，来源：虚拟健康图书馆，科学电子图书馆在线，Web of Science, Scopus， MEDLINE， CAPES期刊门户网站和巴西论文数字图书馆。在2004年至2024年间发表的在医院环境中进行的横断面研究被纳入其中。选择招募材料（n=1,297）后，对样本（n=29）进行描述性统计分析。结果：在选定的研究中，86.2%的研究表明实体推荐的缺勤覆盖率百分比具有优势。护士的缺勤率为0%至44.7%，技术人员/助理的缺勤率为0.47%至46%。估计护士的技术安全指数为8.3%至53%，中级专业人员的技术安全指数为8.77%至54.3%。最后的考虑：有证据表明，监管实体规定的最低缺勤覆盖率（6.7%）是不够的，特别是在公立医院的情况下。
