Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of organ transplants in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
Methods:A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with data from 2,036 solid organ transplants performed in the state between 2011 and 2015. Three indicators were calculated, per capita transplants, meeting the demands of the population and the demand for transplants, which demonstrated the effectiveness and the disparities in the process. The association between the variables was verified by Pearson's Chi-Square test and Fisher's exact test.Results: Most transplants were performed in philanthropic hospitals, male, funded by public funding, and there was an annual increase in the number of transplants per capita and in the productivity of kidney, liver and heart transplantation teams. Although renal transplantation is the most performed in absolute numbers, it served a maximum of 2.2% of its demand.
Conclusion:It is necessary to devise strategies to meet the demand for organ transplants, above all, to consolidate the process of donating organs in the state under study.
Objetivo: Identificar os recursos tecnológicos para passagem de plantão de enfermagem hospitalar disponível na literatura. Métodos: revisão integrativa cujos critérios de elegibilidade foram: corresponder aos descritores “aplicativos móveis”; “passagem de plantão; “cuidados de enfermagem”, “enfermagem” e “hospitalização”; nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol; disponível eletronicamente nas bases de dados: EMBASE; PubMed; BVS; CINAHL; Scopus e Web of Science, não houve recorte temporal.
