Abstract

Objetive: Analyze the Patient Classification System (SPC) to identify the categories of care and evaluate the average number of clinical and surgical units nursing professionals at the University Hospital in Aracaju, Sergipe, according to the resolution nº 543/2017 COFEN. Method: descriptive, documentary and retrospective research with qualitative approach in which data was collected from nursing shift report sheet and monthly work scales, in order to calculate the personnel sizing, in the period from January to March of 2018. For data analysis Kruskal-Wallis, a nonparamatrical test, was used. Results: the greatest frequency of patients from these units was classified as minimal care, high dependence in the clinical unit, and intermediate care in the surgical unit. Regarding the professional framework, surgical unit was partially adequate; while clinic unit was inadequate for both nurses and licensed practical nurses. Conclusion: it was identified that there was a relevant change of the care profile of patients at the clinic unit, from minimal care to high dependence care, showing the inadequacy of personnel to provide the necessary number of professionals for this level of care according to COFEN's 543/2017 Resolution, as well as an undersizing of nurses at the surgical unit.
