Abstract:
The quality control strategies plays an important role to nurses as they become more involved and qualified to improve the care provided. The purpose of this study was to diagnose the perception of nurses at a private hospital on the nursing quality processes applied to care improvement. This is a descriptive-exploratory study whose sample was composed by 19 nurses from care units. Results demonstrated that nurses considered the use of results from indicators to be a strategic tool for the institution, and their perceptions have confirmed the validity of care improvement practices using quality tools and indicators, emphasizing that follow up of process flaws can be a possible suggestion towards quality improvement.
