Nursing administration at João de Barros Barreto Hospital

historical perspective of the seventies, twentieth century

Abstract

The present study is a clipping of the doctoral thesis entitled: Collective strategy of nurses in the reimplantation of the Nursing Process: a convergent care research. Objective: To describe the nursing administration process at João de Barros Barreto Hospital from the perspective of nurses of the 1970s. Method: we opted for the qualitative approach, using historical sources identified in the Hospital's Library, as well as documents provided and interviews of five retired nurses. The research scenario was the Surgical Clinic of the João de Barros Barreto University Hospital (HUJBB), a public hospital in the municipality of Belém do Pará; unstructured interviews were conducted with five retired nurses who worked in the 1970s. Data were validated by the interviewed nurses. The analysis of the presented contents generated 149 thematic units that constituted three categories that compose the Chapter, where brief evolution of the implementation of the SAE in the HUJBB is presented. The analyzed results confirm the thesis that the reimplantation of the Nursing Process becomes possible through the adoption of the collective strategy of nurses in their care practice in the context of Nursing Care Systematization.
