“…A need was identified to review the dimensioning of the nursing team considering the conditions of the ES for a better care for the elderly. This reinforces the findings (17) in which the nursing dimensioning is a major concern for managers because it involves multiple facets of an extremely dynamic type of work that is difficult to measure. This is also a problem of international scope because the lack of staff and high workloads were mentioned by professionals, the elderly, and their caregivers as aspects that need to be improved in order to provide an elder-friendly care in the ES (9) .…”

“…Still, with the demand for activities, it is common that the nursing team does not receive these moments in order to meet work demands, since the number of nursing professionals is inadequate in Brazil. [21][22] This situation may worsen when the majority of nursing professionals present a deficit of approximately two hours of sleep, as observed, between the identified needs and the hours actually slept. Another finding was that the commuting time between home and work consumed 1.47 (SD=0.73) hours of professionals' time, which may increase their irritation and fatigue, compromising their performance at work.…”

“…Por outra vertente, a prática de consumo de pesquisa pelo enfermeiro assistencial é influenciada pelas condições de trabalho que constituem fatores intervenientes não particularizados ao contexto de um hospital universitário, ao passo que são pontuados pela literatura como situações transversais para diversos cenários em que o enfermeiro está inserido; com ênfase para a variável tempo e a sobrecarga de trabalho gerada pela insuficiência de recursos humanos e materiais; infraestrutura e jornada de trabalho (13)(14)(15) .…”
