Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar as práticas de transporte seguro de
crianças até aos 18 kg, por enfermeiros em ambulâncias de Suporte Imediato de Vida
(SIV), em Portugal, um tema de suma importância para a enfermagem especializada em
saúde infantil e pediátrica. Norteado pelo Modelo de Promoção da Saúde de Nola Pender,
o enquadramento teórico centra-se em abordar como as intervenções de enfermagem
podem contribuir para a segurança e os cuidados às crianças. A questão orientadora do
estudo procurou identificar práticas seguras no transporte de crianças e avaliar as
competências e conhecimentos dos enfermeiros neste contexto específico. A metodologia
adotada foi uma abordagem mista, que combinou análise quantitativa de questionários.
Os dados foram tratados através de análise estatística com recurso ao Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS, versão 29.0.2.0) para a componente quantitativa e a análise de
conteúdo para as respostas abertas do questionário. Os resultados indicaram que, apesar
de existirem procedimentos definidos, a variabilidade nas práticas ainda representa um
desafio significativo. A discussão dos dados sugere que a formação contínua e a revisão
de protocolos são fundamentais para a uniformização das práticas. As conclusões focam
a necessidade de estratégias de formação baseadas na evidência para melhorar a
segurança no transporte pediátrico de emergência.
The general aim of this study was to investigate safe transport practices for children up to 18 kg by nurses in Immediate Life Support (SIV) ambulances in Portugal, a topic of the utmost importance for nursing specializing in child and paediatric health. Guided by Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model, the theoretical framework focuses on how nursing interventions can contribute to child safety and care. The study's guiding question sought to identify safe practices in the transportation of children and to assess nurses' skills and knowledge in this specific context. The methodology adopted was a mixed approach, combining quantitative analysis of questionnaires. The data was processed through statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 29.0.2.0) for the quantitative component and content analysis for the open-ended answers to the questionnaire. The results indicated that, despite the existence of welldefined protocols, the variability in practices still represents a significant challenge. The discussion of the data suggests that continuous training and the revision of protocols are fundamental to standardizing practices. The conclusions focus on the need for evidencebased training strategies to improve safety in pediatric emergency transport.
