Supervisão de enfermagem no contexto hospitalar: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

This is an integrative review, in order to synthesize the national scientific production of nursing supervision in hospital services from 1999 to 2010. Data were collected in the electronic database LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Literature Database) and recorded on a specific instrument. It was analyzed 16 publications grouped by content similarities: the role of the nursing supervisor, nine articles (56.25%), nursing supervision and management theories, five articles (31.25%) and nursing supervisor formation with two articles (12.50%). The evidence showed that the nurse in the exercise of supervision is still based on classical theories of administration of Taylor and Fayol, characterized by parent and punitiveaction, not supplying the needs of staff, patients and health services. Currently, it is expected that the supervision is done in a participatory manner, with focus on improvement on assistance and labor relations of hospital nursing staff.
