Introduction and objectives: Evaluating
the activities developed in the consultation
and determining the associated
workload becomes relevant insofar as it
influences safety and the quality of care.
The purpose of this study was to identify
the assistance and non-assistance activities
carried out within the scope of the
consultation; determine the execution
time of the performed activities and set
the average time of the consultation.
Methodology: An exploratory descriptive
study of quantitative nature was
carried out. 16 primary health care
nurses of 3 health units participated in
the study. The instrument evaluates
three dimensions: sociodemographic
characterization of the clients, nursing
and non-care nursing activity that integrates
the previously defined categories
and actions and socio-professional
characterization of the nurse. The study
was carried out between February and
May 2018. Data was processed using
SPSS25®.
Results and discussion: 103 nursing
consultations were performed. It was
identified that the most accomplished
assistance activities belonged to
the evaluation and health education
categories. The documented non-care
activities were the reception of the patient;
infection control procedures and
documentation of the provided care.
The mean time of consultation was 24
minutes, the maximum time was 76,6m and the minimum time was 7, 91 m.
Conclusion: Identifying what activities
were carried out and determining the
associated workload allows us to know
what work is being done and its implications
in the provided care.
