Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the implementation of the Patient Classification System and the dimensioning of the nursing staff in a pediatric inpatient unit. Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study, carried out at a university hospital in the Midwest of Brazil. After the implementation of the Pediatric Patient Classification System, we compiled data from the classifications of the level of care complexity (N=4,639) among patients (n=608) admitted from January to December 2019. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed, including proprietary methodology for staff sizing. Results: there was a prevalence of intermediate care patients. According to the staff dimensioning, there was a surplus (+10) of mid-level workers, and the projected number of nurses (six) was compatible with the available number. Conclusion: the strategic implementation/employment of the Patient Classification System was indispensable for the pediatric nursing staffing forecast, considering that the staffing surplus found should be appreciated with caution.

儿科住院病房的病人分类和护理人员尺寸

【摘要】目的:介绍某儿科住院部病人分类系统的实施情况及护理人员的编制情况。方法:一项描述性、横断面和回顾性研究，在巴西中西部的一所大学医院进行。在实施儿科患者分类系统后，我们收集了2019年1月至12月住院患者(N= 608)的护理复杂程度分类数据(N= 4639)。采用了描述性统计分析，包括工作人员编制的专有方法。结果:中间护理患者普遍存在。根据工作人员维度，中层工作人员有盈余(+10)，预计护士人数(6人)与可用人数相匹配。结论:患者分类系统的战略实施/使用是儿科护理人员编制预测不可或缺的，考虑到发现的人员过剩应谨慎对待。
