A inserção da Biblioteconomia clínica em hospitais-escola e universitário no Estado de Alagoas

Abstract

It addresses the insertion of clinical librarianship in teaching and university hospitals in the state of Alagoas from the perspective of two hospital institutions, one public and one private. The objective was to investigate the knowledge of professionals working in teaching and university hospitals in the state of Alagoas about the possibility of inserting clinical librarianship and to present the importance of the role of the clinical librarian to support the work of health teams. The research was exploratory with a qualitative approach, whose participants were the multidisciplinary health teams: doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, especially residents and interns of the health courses that work in both hospitals. The application of the questionnaire followed the criteria of the simple random sample from these groups linked in the following sectors: Medical Clinic, General ICU, Maternity/Obstetric Clinic, Pediatrics, Oncology, Infectious Diseases and Elective Consultations. The sample was defined with 50 employees per hospital. Results: hospital 1 returned 34 responses; hospital 2 returned 45 responses. The results show that, even though little known, the work of clinical librarianship is seen with good eyes by the research participants. It was concluded that the conditions for the implementation of clinical librarianship in the researched places are still far from ideal.
