Resumen

MENDES, Roberto Miguel Gonçalves  y  NUNES, Manuel Lourenço. The Importance Of Rehabilitation Nursing In The Portuguese Intensive Care Units. RPER [online]. 2018, vol.1, n.2, pp.8-13. ISSN 2184-965X.  https://doi.org/10.33194/rper.2018.v1.n2.01.4406.

Objective:

To know the importance of Rehabilitation Nursing in Portuguese Intensive Care Units (ICUs).

Methods:

Secondary analysis of the national evaluation survey of the organization of rehabilitation care in Portuguese intensive care units.

Results:

In Portugal there are 2.9 nurses per unit, with specialized training in rehabilitation. This value increases in units where rehabilitation is based on a mixed model and decreases in units that resort to specialized external teams. 40% of these professionals do not perform functions in their area of specialization and only 26.4% perform full-time functions. Units with full-time rehabilitation nursing more frequently assess the physical condition at discharge (38.7 versus 8.9%); however, these professionals do not participate in the post-discharge evaluation in any ICU. There are no observable differences in care outcomes among ICUs that are part of rehabilitation nurses and those who do not.

Conclusion:

Nurses with a specialty in rehabilitation nursing are present in most of the national ICUs and are an important part of the care provided.
