RESUMO

The meeting for nursing shift alternation which happens at the Day Hospital in the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto of São Paulo University, has particular characteristics which makes it different from the traditional nursing shift alternation meetings. It gathers members of the whole interdisciplinar team and each one, during this meeting, has the opportunity of informing about the patients under assistance at the Day Hospital regarding to their behaviour towards the specifics activities, as well as to hearing from the others. Therefore it is a single moment, combining sufficient reasons for bringing the nursing shift alternation meeting to object of the present study, which has a quantitative and qualitative character and has as objective to raise the interdisicplinar members frequency to those meetings, to report about observations and evolutions of patients, and decisions taken towards the presented situation. To obtain the result were used 20 nursing shift alternation meetings in a period of two months, which were recorded, integrally written-down, prepared content syntheses and analyses for descriptive results presentation also using panels. The results show an increased participation of experienced professionals in the nursing shift alternation meetings, maybe because they coordinate most of the therapeutical routine activities at the Day Hospital. It has also shown that the nursing shift alternation meeting, through the coordinator nurse, offers opportunities for all interdisciplinar team members to inform about their patients’ behaviour towards the specific activities, as well as to hearing from the others. The coordinator was careful, always examining all semi-hospitalized patient at the Day Hospital, making observation and evolution for each one, taking decisions about procedures to be adopted for those who were in need at that moment. The nursing shift alternation meeting gives support to exchanging experiences among professionals from different areas and contributes for the teaching/learning process at Day Hospital, which is also a teaching institution.
