Systematization of Care Under the View of Nursing Undergraduate Students

Abstract

Introduction: The systematization of nursing care
(SNC) is an important tool in the nursing field, which allows the
nurse to apply its management and technological knowledge at the
clinical practice, by guaranteeing the organization of the necessary
conditions to perform it.
Objective: Identify the level of understanding of eighth semester’s
Nursing undergraduate students at SNC.
Methods: Descriptive qualitative research carried out in a private
college in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, with nine Nursing undergraduate
students, all eighth semester’s, through a semi‑structured interview.
Data were interpreted through Content Analysis.
Results: The categories which emerged allowed one to determine
that the students interpret incorrectly the SNC and that it’s seen only
as a nursing process; the students could notice difficulties regarding
the implementation of SNC, such as lack of time, political and organizational
structure, and interest taken by professionals. On the other
hand, they noticed facilitating factors for the implementation of SNC,
such as computerization, participation of the nurse and the nursing
team, and the theoretical foundation pertinent to the theme.
Conclusion: SNC is an essential tool for the nurse’s empowerment,
as well as for improving the profession’s acknowledgement, and it
should be developed in depth in the academic training of this category
