PERCEPÇÃO DOS ENFERMEIROS DO INTERIOR DO CEARÁ ACERCA DA SAEP.

To analyze the perception of Nurses about the Systematization of Perioperative Nursing Care (SAEP) and its implementation in a reference hospital in a city in the state of Ceará - Brazil. The study was carried out with ten nurses from that hospital. Meetings were held and questions were raised on the topic addressed and educational activities on SAEP were carried out. It was shown that SAEP was not performed in the routine of the unit; however, according to the nurses, they had knowledge about systematization and knew the importance of its implementation. The results obtained with the questionnaires were satisfactory in terms of the possibility of implementing the systematization. It was observed that the accomplishment of the educational activity reduced doubts of the professionals on the subject. In this study it was possible to notice that even with the professionals' knowledge regarding systematization, this process is not applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
