Revealing operational difficulties in the systematization of nursing care from the Grounded Theory perspective
Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2013, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Nursing Care Systematization (NCS) applied by means of the nursing process is a fundamental methodology in planning and implementing nursing care. The objective of this study was to understand the factors that hinder NCS operationalization at an obstetric clinic. Symbolic interactionism and the grounded theory were used as the theoretical and methodological frameworks. The population consisted of thirteen nurses of a public maternity hospital, located in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The nurses were interviewed according to the procedures of theoretical sampling. The data analysis resulted in two phenomena: the first demonstrates how nurses perceive NCS; and the second points at factors that hinder its operationalization. In conclusion, nurses perceive NCS as an instrument to connect theory and practice that still presents many obstacles to its implementation; however, they recognize and indicate paths to assure greater adherence and success.
