APPLICABILITY OF NURSING CARE SYSTEMATIZATION IN URGENT AND EMERGENCY CARE: FROM THE MODERN TO THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT

Abstract

This article sought to analyze the applicability of the Systematization of Nursing Care (SNC) in the care of patients in the urgent and emergency sectors. To this end, an integrated literature review was carried out, with the aim of collecting and summarizing the scientific knowledge already developed on this subject in order to better understand it. The application of the SNC by nursing professionals is mandatory in their workplaces. It also reduces risks to patient safety and facilitates the professional practice of nursing, since it standardizes the care provided by its professionals. However, some professionals have a lack of understanding of its application, which makes it difficult to achieve its objective. Therefore, the SNC is of great value not only to nursing professionals, as it facilitates their professional practice, but also to patients, as it reduces the risks to their safety. Therefore, its application should be reinforced in the various areas of nursing practice so that effective, quality care can be provided.
