Cuidado de enfermería durante el postoperatorio inmediato
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2021, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The immediate postoperative period requires systematized and documented nursing care in order to guarantee safety and specific patient care. This research aimed to describe the nursing interventions during the immediate postoperative period and the factors that limit care in three hospital units in the Imbabura province, Ecuador, during the first quarter of 2020. A quantitative, crosssectional, and descriptive study was carried out. The population was made up of 29 professionals from the health institutions involved. e data were collected using a questionnaire validated by a Cronbach's alpha test, obtaining a value of 0.84. The analysis of the limitations for the development of nursing interventions in the dimensions investigated allowed to establish the predominance of the elements related to the demands of the patients (48.28%). The lack of time was the least indicated, for 6.9%. The results allowed to appreciate that the majority of the participants always applied the elements of nursing care during the postoperative period related to the 8 dimensions studied. However, it should be noted that it would be important to promote the use of standardized assessment tools such as the various scales.
