Abstract

This case study discusses the application of a model to determine the number of nurses in the surgical unit in a general hospital of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The obtained results were compared with literature findings. Results of calculations identifying the annual capacity of the unit and the annual capacity of nursing hours are presented. The results obtained by applying this model can allow higher precision when planning the number of nurses needed in this unit for nursing care during pre- and post-surgery, thereby contributing to improve productivity.
