INTRODUCTION

In Brazil, emergency and emergency care networks are supported and regulated by the unified health system, ordinance n 1,600, 2011. And they are established by the segments of: health promotion, prevention and surveillance, in addition to mobile emergency care services (SAMU). Nurses are the professional with scientific training and human competence to deal with life, and their role is of paramount importance for care that requires invasive procedures in cases involving advanced life support units (VAS). ¹

Nursing is a broad science that contemplates human rights and health, with a humanized look with regard to human development and increasingly conquers its space in the most diverse health sectors.  In the past, the nursing professional was seen as an auxiliary professional of the physician, today this profession with amplitude is understood, which has several contributions that favor patients, whether about information, procedure, handling of equipment and humanization. ²

The nursing professional is essential for the practices of care performed by SAMU, not only with regard to guidance and medical support, but also in humanized care, with a wide vision of organization, team management, met equipment and maneuvers that save lives.  Therefore, it is possible that nurses constantly focus on continuing education, so that it becomes increasingly specialized in the provision of First Aid, to develop their work with quality and effectiveness. ³

According to Costa 2016, the nurse’s performance in mobile pre-hospital care should be expanded, because it is an extremely important field for life and the more efficient this care is, the greater the chance of an individual’s life. Accordingly, for Mendes 2010, the Mobile Emergency Care Service – SAMU represents a crucial care for the individual who goes through some health complications, and needs to be attended by professionals fit and able to perform all necessary procedures, aiming at the preservation of life.3

The quality of health services offered in Brazil in the 1980s underwent significant changes, driven by the lack of financial resources evidencing the importance of adopting a new way of managing and managing financial resources.   The quality management done by nursing represents great importance, therefore it is understood as a strategy that achieves an acceptable continuous standard of quality care. Management enables the development of human resources generating responsibilities to the team, including managers and administrators.4

Recognizing that nurses are indispensable in pre-hospital care, it becomes of great interest to understand the competencies and contributions to the area, the question arises: what are the nurse’s attributions in relation to care in the Samu?

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

The high demand for effective emergency care services and medical emergencies has generated several models of care systems around the world. In Brazil, the first proposal took place in 2003, through the National Policy of Attention to Emergencies – (PNAU).5

According to Mendes 2010, this policy represents the effort of the Ministry of Health to organize regional flows of comprehensive care for cases of urgency and emergency in Brazil. Thus, the PNAU is guided by the principles of the SUS and is structured in five axes, these: promoting quality of life; networking; operation of regulatory plants; training and continuing education; humanization of attention.6

Its implementation was marked by the mobile pre-hospital component, presenting itself as a strategy in the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), constituting a standardized model of care, in which care is provided after a call free of charge for the number 192, and the medical center defines how care should be conducted.6

In addition, there was an expansion of access to services, not only through the service provided by SAMU, as well as the implementation of the Emergency Care Units (UPA), which present themselves as the most recent strategy of the policy, uniting the strategy of training and continuing education of professionals, called Nuclei and Education and Urgency.6

RESULTS

Seeking to understand the importance of nurses in relation to the mobile emergency service (SAMU), during data collection, taking into account the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 scientific articles were found that addressed the competencies nurses’ care and managerial sects in publications presented in the tables in the previous item, in two stages, the first says about the characterization of published articles regarding the title, place, author, year, type of study and objective and the second regarding the related skills and activities and percentage.

The data collection of this integrative review resulted through the selection of the studies described in Table 1

DISCUSSION

To better understand the results, they will be discussed in two topics: care skills for the nurse’s performance in SAMU and management skills for the nurse’s role in SAMU.

CARE SKILLS OF NURSES TO ACT IN SAMU

The publications addressed the nurse’s competencies, both care and management simultaneously, but 33% (n=3) of the publications, the main focus was the nurse’s performance as a manager, among the care skills found, the ones that stand out the most and are recurrent are: evaluation of the extent of the diseases giving priority to greater commitment and performance of procedures and care. Standing out among the procedures, venous puncture, passage of bladder cutting tube and nasogastric probing, while in the provision of care was found: performance of dressings, monitoring of vital signs and administration of medications, cardiac monitoring and pulse oximetry, hygiene and comfort, hemodynamic evaluation, immobilizations, anamnesis, physician assistance in procedures such as resuscitation and decision-making.6

Among others. Given the multiple functions performed by the nurse, it is clear the idea of the importance of the nurse and the responsibility given to him, which requires the development of skills that involve cognition, attitudes and the performance of the procedures, which ends by result in the role of manager, meaning in many cases the emergence of physical and mental exhaustion. Therefore, it is essential to provide human and physical resources in order to provide the best care to the victim, always aiming at minimizing the problems.

MANAGERIAL SKILLS OF NURSES TO WORK IN SAMU

For the main management competencies, it was evidenced that, it is the role of nurses to develop protocols for the correct provision of care, considering all the sample that justifies the patient’s care and commitment.8 Also, with the patient’s nurse, the completion of the attendance form, checking and replenishment of the stock of materials that must be in the vehicle and that are relevant to care, disinfection of equipment and vehicle, nursing report, participation or development of projects that enable health education permanently.9

Given the evidence of nurses’ competencies, it is understood the importance and that this professional is indispensable considering both the care and managerial activities, which are deprived of the nurse, as well as to provide support to the collaborators of the nursing team, which leads to the quality index of care delivery, understanding that non-performance, non-knowledge of their relevant activities can characterize damage or death to the victim attended. 9

Aiming beyond everything, the good quality of nursing care is custoly up to the nurse to manage the nursing team, and the same should be responsible for the size of the team, considering the performance of each employee, the elaboration protocols that based on scientific evidence and adapted to the reality of Brazilian health, provide ways to perform care and that supports the actions of the professional.10 According to Santos and Adam, 2013 the introduction of the professional Nurse in care mobile pre-hospital was given through the PNAU, which comes into agreement with what the Regional Nursing Council says, which considers this professional important for the composition of the PHA team, since it is able to develop actions with the aim of preserve and reduce damage to life, either through direct assistance or team management.10

As a manager, one of the most important responsibilities of nurses is continuing health education, since it has theoretical and scientific knowledge. This health education is more routinely translated by the guidance and explanations passed on to the victim’s family than properly to nursing employees, where nurses are responsible for the training and training of their employees, aiming at better quality of the services provided.1,10

CONCLUSION

Of the 9 articles identified to achieve the proposed objectives, 100% (n=9) addressed care skills, but of this total, only 33% (n=3) addressed the management competencies of the nursing category. For management competencies, the ones that stood out were those that have a direct relationship with the victim, such as the provision of care. While managers found skills that are not directly linked to the victim, with administrative activities as the main ones, such as team sizing. It is concluded that nurses are an indispensable professional both in direct care to the victim and in the actions that coordinate this care.
