Opinión del personal de enfermería sobre utilidad de la tira horaria / Opinion of the nursing staff about the use of the time schedule

RESUMEN

Introducción: La tira horaria es un instrumento que la enfermera tradicionalmente ha venido utilizando para el control del suministro de soluciones intravasculares. Objetivo: Determinar el uso y la utilidad que representa para el paciente el uso de la tira horario. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal, la muestra se conformó con 50 enfermeras. Se estructuró una guía de entrevista, con doce reactivos ordenados en forma de cuestionario, con preguntas con respuesta dicotómicas. Se aplicó una guía de verificación para registrar datos obtenidos por observación directa sobre el uso de las tiras horarias y el control de las soluciones instaladas en los pacientes hospitalizados. Para el análisis se utilizó el paquete estadístico SPSS 10.0, estadística descriptiva obteniendo frecuencias y porcentajes. Resultados: En cuanto a la utilidad de la tira horaria 76% opinó que es útil, 72% para llevar un control en relación volumen-tiempo, 74% opinaron que es mejor el control de las soluciones en gotas por minuto en lugar de la tira horaria. Con respecto a la guía de verificación, se encontró que 66% de las soluciones se encontraban con retraso en su infusión, 8% adelantadas y sólo 26% estaban en la cantidad y tiempo correcto. Conclusión: Sugerimos que se continúe con esta línea de investigación de la praxis de enfermería, ya que no se encontraron estudios previos que estén referidos en la literatura médica, de utilizarse como método alternativo se recomienda se norme y se difunda.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The schedule strip is a method that traditionally the nurse has been using as an activity for the infusion control of intravascular solutions. Based on the analysis of such a term we think that the schedule strip is a complex term and is conceptualized as a scale done over a long and narrow adhesive tape strip, marking on it the time over which the solution in hours must be administered. Objective: To identify how the Schedule Strip is done for intravenous solutions control, so determining its usefulness. Material y methods: A cross section and analytical study was done. The sample was formed by 50 nurses. An interview guide that comprised twelve ordered reactants in a questionnaire form formulating questions with dichotomous answers was structured. Also, a verification guide was applied (shadow study) in which obtained data by direct observation to the schedule strips and solutions that were installed in hospitalized patients were registered. Information was entered an Excel data base and for the analysis a statistical package SPSS 10.0 was used with descriptive statistics obtaining frequencies and percentages. Results: For the usefulness 76% had an opinion 72% says that it is useful to have control of volume-time. 74% of nurses said that control of drop solution per minute is better than the Schedule Strip, we found 66% of solutions were delayed, 8% were advanced and only 26% were according to infusion speed. Conclusion: We suggest that research continues within this line of investigation in nursing praxis, for there were not previous studies in medical literature found and if used as an alternative method we recommend it to be ruled and spread out.
