ABSTRACT

Indicators to determine the number of nurses needed, must respond to the epidemiological demand that characterizes our country that is dominated by chronic degenerative diseases requiring complex care, to ensure the quality of health care, reduce the risk of injuries, maximizing the health of patients. The demand for care requires institutions make the assignment of staff regardless of disease severity, such a situation may alter the quality of care provided to patients. The objective was to evaluate the quality of care provided to patients with chronic degenerative diseases relating to nurse patient ratio of internal medicine at a hospital in secondary care. The methodology used was quantitative, longitudinal, prospective, non-experimental, analytical and correlational, in 47 patients by probabilistic sample. By day the actual nurse-patient ratio were recorded, a charter was applied to assess the overall condition of the patient at admission and discharge, as well as nursing care, using quality indicators. The analysis was performed using SPSS v20.0 program, interpretation and correlation of Pearson and Spearman. Results: No significant association (Spearman Rho = 0.00) was not found between the quality of patient care and service received, or between quality of care and the average staff working in the Department of Internal Medicine. Conclusions: The indicators established by the Inter Nursing Facility, are based on epidemiological data from 1997, which do not respond to standard of care currently required.
