ABSTRACT
Objective
to describe the experience of nurses working in a hospital unit in relation to Nursing Care Systematization (SAE).
Method
a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted in two small hospitals in a municipality in the extreme northwest of Paraná. Data collection took place between May and June 2018, through open and audio recorded interviews with 14 nurses. After transcription in full, interviews were subjected to Content Analysis, thematic modality.
Results
Two thematic categories were elaborated: “Difficulties faced by nurses for the application of SAE” and “Strategies employed to facilitate the application of NCS in daily nursing”.
Conclusion and implications for practice
Aspects related to leadership, hierarchy, work process and sensitization of nurses about SAE made its application difficult. In contrast, nurses pointed out that the use of standardized tools, the training of the nursing team and the support of hospital managers is essential for the application of SAE. These findings show that it is still necessary to promote, in education and service, actions / strategies that allow nurses to empower yourself and apply the SAE in the hospital context.
