Elaboração de um instrumento para hemovigilância na assistência de enfermagem hospitalar

Abstract

Hemotherapy is a therapeutic practice that involves the transfusion of blood and its components in situations of health impairment. Transfusion reactions are undesirable responses associated with the administration of these blood components. Hemovigilance monitors the entire blood cycle and is essential for patient safety. In this practice, nurses play a leading role, and the use of specific instruments is indispensable in hospital care. Objectives: To develop a hospital hemovigilance instrument for nurses to assist in monitoring transfusion reactions related to blood and its components. Methods: This is a methodological study with a quantitative approach, in which a hemovigilance instrument for nurses in hospital care was developed. Results: An integrative literature review was conducted on hemovigilance and transfusion reactions in hospital nursing care, followed by the development of a hemovigilance instrument for nurses based on the requirements identified in the literature review. Conclusion: The hemovigilance instrument was developed based on scientific literature to guide assertive nursing actions in response to transfusion reactions. Its clear and objective content aims to promote adherence and safety in hemotherapy practice. The proposal contributes to strengthening hemovigilance policies and supporting healthcare professionals in hospital care, while also fostering reflections on innovations in multidisciplinary health care.
