Insights
This study adapted and implemented a pediatric nursing care protocol in the Amazon Region, improving child healthcare. The process enhanced early problem identification and clinical evidence for better health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nursing
- Public Health
- Healthcare Protocol Implementation
Background:
- Healthcare access and quality in remote regions like the Amazon present unique challenges.
- Standardized pediatric nursing care protocols are crucial for consistent and effective patient management.
- Adapting existing protocols to local contexts is essential for successful implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the adaptation and implementation of a pediatric nursing care protocol.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the adapted protocol in a basic health unit in the Amazon Region.
- To strengthen nursing practice through evidence-based care.
Main Methods:
- Methodological research design.
- Involved seven nursing professionals across four family health teams in Rondônia, Amazon Region.
- Data collection spanned October 2020 to April 2022, encompassing situational diagnosis, protocol definition, implementation, and evaluation.
Main Results:
- Successful adaptation and implementation of a nursing care protocol specifically for children.
- The protocol facilitated a structured approach to pediatric care within the health unit.
Conclusions:
- Protocol adaptation and implementation are effective strategies for enhancing pediatric nursing care.
- This approach strengthens the nursing profession by grounding practice in scientific and clinical evidence.
- Improved care leads to earlier problem identification, appropriate guidance, and better health outcomes for children.
Objectives:
to describe the process of implementing an adapted protocol for pediatric nursing care in a health unit located in a municipality in the Amazon Region.
Methods:
methodological research conducted in a basic health unit with four family health teams in the state of Rondônia, involving seven nursing professionals. Data collection occurred between October 2020 and April 2022, following the research phases: situational diagnosis, exploratory phase, protocol definition, implementation, and evaluation.
Results:
the outcome was the adaptation and implementation of a nursing care protocol for children.
