Atuaçäo da enfermagem no gerenciamento de recursos materiais em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs)

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar la actuacion de la enfermeria en el gerenciamiento de recursos materiales en hospitales generales. Se trata de un trabajo descriptivo, de naturaleza cuanti-cualitativa, realizada en cuatro UTls de hospitales generales y de grande tamano, de la ciudad de Salvador-Ba. Fue observado que, de las cuatro unidades, en tres existe la presencia del enfermero en la comision de seleccion y compra de materiales. La participacion de la enfermeria en el proceso de la prevision y control de materiales, es minima, no habiendo, consecuentemente, una evaluacion del material que se esta comprando, ocasionando la presencia, muchas vezes, de materiales similares, ociosos y de mala calidad, comprometiendo directa o indirectamente la asistencia prestada. Quedo constatado que la actuacion de la enfermeria en el gerenciamento de recursos materiales se limito, apenas, a la reposicion de estos en el servicio, sin, apesar de esto,incluirse efectiva y efizcamente en el proceso de prevision, seleccion, compra y control de estos insumos.
