Abstract
The study aimed to analyze the nursing personnel dimensioning in a school hospital compared it to the dependence level of patients admitted in 1998 and 2008 and to compare it to the aging nursing workforce in the same period. In 2009, a comparative, exploratory, descriptive and retrospective study was conducted using secondary data from medical-surgical inpatient care units of a school hospital. Results demonstrated that nursing staff dimensioning is unbalanced in the course of ten years; increasing of the patients’ dependence degree level related to the nursing staff and its functional and chronological aging, more than half of the studied nurses group. It was concluded that the nursing staff did not follow the increasing complexity of care demanded by patients, which is aggravated by reduced working capacity of employees.
