ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective analyze how studies have approached the results obtained from the application of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) based on Donabedian’s model of healthcare organization and delivery. Method CINAHL and PubMed databases were searched for papers published between 2003 and March 2015. Results 36 articles that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed and double-coded by three independent coders and analyzed based on the three elements of Donabedian’s health care quality framework: structure, process and outcome. The most frequently addressed, but not always tested, variables were those that fell into the structure category. Conclusion variables that fell into the process category were used less frequently. Beside NAS, the most frequently used variables in the outcome category were mortality and length of stay. However, no study used a quality framework for healthcare or NAS to evaluate costs, and it is recommended that further research should explore this approach.
RESUMO Objetivo Analisar como os estudos têm abordado os resultados obtidos com a aplicação do Nursing Acivities Score (NAS) na perspectiva de organização do cuidado em saúde, de acordo com o modelo de Donabedian. Método A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada a partir das bases de dados CINAHL e PubMed, no período compreendido entre 2003 e março de 2015. Os 36 artigos incluídos foram revisados e codificados duplamente por três avaliadores independentes e analisados à luz dos três elementos do modelo de qualidade de cuidados de saúde: Estrutura, Processo e Resultado. Resultados As variáveis relacionadas à Estrutura foram as mais frequentes, mas nem sempre foram testadas em relação ao NAS. Além do NAS variáveis relativas ao Processo foram menos utilizadas. No que concerne à etapa Resultado, as variáveis mortalidade e tempo de hospitalização foram as mais comuns. Conclusão Nenhum estudo testou a hipóteses sob a perspectiva de um modelo de cuidados de saúde, assim como de custos, uma abordagem que deve ser explorada em estudos posteriores.
RESUMEN Objetivo Analizar cómo los estudios se han ocupado de los resultados obtenidos con la aplicación del Nursing Acivities Score (NAS) en la perspectiva de organización de cuidados en salud, de acuerdo con el modelo de Donabedian. Método Una búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó a partir de las bases de datos CINAHL y PubMed para el período entre 2003 y marzo de 2015. Resultados El 36 artículos retenidos fueron revisados y codificados en dos ocasiones por tres evaluadores independientes y analizados a la luz de los tres elementos del modelo de calidad cuidado de la salud de Donabedian: Estructura, Proceso y Resultado. Conclusión Las variables relacionadas con la Estructura fueron el más común, pero no siempre se probaron para el NAS. Adémas del NAS, las variables relacionadas con el Proceso fueron menos recurrentes. En cuanto a la etapa de Resultado, las variables mortalidad y duración de la estancia hospitalaria fueron los más comunes. Sin embargo, ningún estudio probó hipótesis desde la perspectiva de un modelo de organisation de la atención de salud, así como de costos, un enfoque que debe ser explorado en estudios futuros.
