Introdução: Perante os desafios da sociedade atual cada vez mais envelhecida, o trabalho em equipa entre
enfermeiros e enfermeiros especialistas de reabilitação é imprescindível para garantir qualidade na assistência à
saúde dos idosos.
Objetivo: Analisar a diferença entre a prática profissional dos enfermeiros de cuidados gerais e dos enfermeiros
especialistas de reabilitação, no trabalho de equipa desenvolvido no cuidado a pessoas idosas.
Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo-exploratório, comparativo, de corte. Amostra não probabilística, por
conveniência, constituída por 192 enfermeiros a exercerem funções com idosos em contexto hospitalar e
comunitário, na região norte de Portugal. Utilizado um questionário ad hoc de autopreenchimento, contemplando
variáveis: características sociodemográficas, atividades/práticas desenvolvidas pelos enfermeiros na assistência aos
idosos e a escala de interdependência de tarefas.
Resultados: Amostra composta por 85,9% enfermeiros e 14,1% enfermeiros especialistas; 76,0% exerce funções em
saúde comunitária e 24,0% em hospitais. Existem diferenças entre as informações partilhadas em equipa,
valorizando os enfermeiros de reabilitação o pedido de colaboração para continuidade assistencial, as condições
sociais e a medicação, enquanto os demais, a alteração da situação de doença. São unânimes as opiniões sobre o
contacto direto como estratégia preferencial para a partilha de informações em equipa. Sobre a interdependência
de tarefas, a diferença é que os enfermeiros de reabilitação dependem de ajuda e suporte dos colegas, para
concretizarem a sua prática profissional.
Conclusão: Há especificidades na ação dos enfermeiros de reabilitação, no cuidado a idosos, sugerindo que sejam
líderes no seio das equipas. As lacunas identificadas no trabalho de equipa exigem (re)pensar as práticas.
Introduction: Given the challenges of today's increasingly aged society, teamwork between nurses and rehabilitation specialist nurses is essential to ensure quality health care for the elderly. Objective: To analyze the difference between the professional practice of general care nurses and rehabilitation specialist nurses concerning teamwork developed in the context of elderly care. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive-exploratory, comparative, cross-sectional study. Non-probability convenience sample composed of 192 nurses working with elderly people in hospital and community context in the Northern Region of Portugal. An ad hoc self-completion questionnaire was used, which included the following variables: sociodemographic characteristics, activities/practices developed by nurses in elderly care, and the task interdependence scale. Results: Sample composed of 85.9% nurses and 14.1% specialist nurses; 76.0% work in community health and 24.0% in hospitals. There are differences between the information shared within the team, with rehabilitation nurses valuing the request for collaboration for continuity of care, social conditions and medication, and the others, the change in the disease situation. Opinions on direct contact as a preferred strategy for sharing team information are unanimous. Regarding task interdependence, rehabilitation nurses show dependency on the help and support from their team mates to carry out their professional practice. Conclusion: There are specificities regarding the practices developed by specialist rehabilitation nurses, suggesting that they are leaders within the teams. The identified gaps identified require (re)thinking the practices.
