INTRODUCTION: Patient´s nutritional status at the moment of hospital admittance is a key factor for the subsequent health treatment, interfering in the prognosis and evolution of patient´s health. For that reason, the inclusion of a nutritional screening method to identify the nutritional risk of hospitalized children has been recommended nationally and internationally. In 2005, the Ministry of Health recognized the importance of screening malnutrition in hospitalized patients and obliged the implementation of protocols for nutritional screening and evaluation in High Complexity hospitals under the Public Health System. Currently, there are several validated nutritional screening instruments for adult patients, the same is not true for pediatric patients. OBJECTIVE: To understand the methods for pediatric nutritional screening used by nutritionists, based on their experience in High Complexity hospitals in the state of São Paulo - Brazil. METHOD: A qualitative and exploratory approach was applied, using semi-structured interviews with nutritionists of different High Complexity pediatric hospitals in the cities of Santos and São Paulo - Brazil. The interpretation of the empirical data was performed by analyzing the material. RESULTS: Twelve nutritionists were interviewed, of which five were coordinators of the nutritional service and seven were clinical nutritionists. Based on the thematic categories originated from the empirical material, three analytical categories were built: experience and professional practice, pediatric nutritional screening and regulatory standards. The results showed diverse experiences, different protocols (according to the specific needs and possibilities within the institution), lack of knowledge about the regulatory standards on nutritional screening and, in this case, with no influence on the institutional protocols. The professionals reported their real experience, with distinct protocols and the use of methods to screen the nutritional risk, more as a clinical intention rather than by a regulatory obligation. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The present study is a pioneer in the qualitative segment, mainly concerning the nutritionists and their experience with instruments for pediatric nutritional screening. Despite the relevance of the matter, the lack of a pediatric screening for hospitalized children leads to the occurrence of different protocols and methods based on the conditions of each hospital. |
