Size analysis of nursing care in long-term residential institutions for the elderly: a retrospective study

Abstract

Aim: To analyze the number of nursing personnel in long-term residential institutions for the eldely (RLTI), according to reports produced with regard to the ethical-professional supervision by the Regional Nursing Council. Method: This is a retrospective study, involving documentary analysis and a quantitative approach. Among the 1,895 trials generated from January 2010 to December 2013, there were 159 supervision trials in institutions of this kind.  These will compose the initial sample used in this research. The instrument used to collect data will contain information related to the institution, the number of nursing personnel, and the classification of the elderly residing in these institutions. Results: We expect to generate a calculation of the original number of nursing professionals in institutions for the elderly. Implications for health: To ensure an adequate number of nursing professionals to allow for safe and damage-free care.
