RESUMO

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o índice de satisfação do responsável pelo paciente pediátrico referente aos tempos de espera do fluxo de atendimento em um serviço de emergência. Método: Estudo transversal, prospectivo, quantitativo, realizado com 300 familiares no Pronto-Socorro Pediátrico de um hospital geral. Um instrumento foi utilizado para análise do fluxo do serviço, tempo de espera e avaliação da satisfação. Realizada análise estatística descritiva. Resultados: O índice de satisfação dos responsáveis foi estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) quanto menor o tempo de espera para classificação dos pacientes na triagem, atendimento pelos médicos e recebimento da medicação prescrita. Os acompanhantes que levaram suas crianças ao Pronto-Socorro devido à patologia (p-0,029) ou por não encontrarem médicos em outros hospitais (p-0,021), ficaram satisfeitos com o tempo de espera para o atendimento neste serviço. Conclusão: A qualidade de atendimento manifestada pelos acompanhantes é satisfatória quando as crianças são atendidas com rapidez no Pronto-Socorro Pediátrico.ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction index of the pediatric patient’s caregiver (person responsible for the child) regarding the waiting time for the care flow in an emergency service. Method: A prospective, cross-sectional, quantitative study with 300 family members in the Pediatric Emergency Department of a general hospital. An instrument was used to analyze the service flow, waiting time and satisfaction evaluation. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results: The satisfaction index of caregivers was statistically significant (p<0.05) the lower was the waiting time for patient screening, care by the doctors and for receiving the prescribed medication. Caregivers who took their children to the emergency department because of the disease (p -0.029) or because they did not find doctors in other hospitals (p-0.021) were satisfied with the waiting time for this service. Conclusion: The quality of care is evaluated as satisfactory by caregivers when children are treated quickly in the Pediatric Emergency Department.
