Desenvolvimento e avaliação de aplicativo de dispositivo móvel para auxílio no dimensionamento do quadro de profissionais de enfermagem

Abstract

The Fugulin and Braden scales are instruments used in nursing to classify the clinical status of patients in different sectors of a hospital. These instruments allow the elaboration of a System of Classification of Patients (SCP) and to know exactly the scenario of the work environment, to quantify the professionals needed for the assistance. These classification systems subsidize the dimensioning of nursing professionals, who must follow normative criteria of the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN). The objective of the present study is to develop and test an application and its management platform (WEB platform) for the application of these combined scales on a mobile device. This application classifies the patient into different levels of nursing dependency and presents the grouped data of the total number of patients in each sector. The application was designed to be used in a simple way, and was built from the Kotlin programming language, the tool proved to be efficient in the tests performed. Which allows to affirm that this technological resource is efficient for the use that was developed, to replace the old model in printed paper with the use of this program in a mobile device. The work contributed to fill a knowledge gap in the application platforms and in the research in the area. And it is an advance because it allows the assessment and classification of the patient to be made using two scales simultaneously.
