title: [Care plan versus care protocol. Comparative analysis in patients subjected to cardiac catheterism].
abstract: The nursing product marks the present and future of the nursing staff. The tools used in the nursing staff should be complete and favor their work. The importance of the cares, during the stay of the patients in the intensive care units, is justified by the obtaining of results and some levels of quality that are adequate for the health care setting. The project aims to know the efficacy of the registered nursing care procedure, care plan or care protocol in an intensive care unit, with a system of computerized clinical records. The resulting information shows a value for the time dedicated to work with the plan greater than that used with the protocol (p = 0.01). In turn, the quality indicators used in both systems are graded as acceptable, although they obtain better results in the care plan. The nursing staff that participate in the study consider that the utility of the care plan in the unit is limited or null for 42.9% and 21.4%, respectively. It should be remembered that the work system in forced in the unit for the nursing care is a care protocol In conclusion, we state that the care plan has better quality in the records than the care protocol, while it requires greater time to fill out the nursing records.
