Resumo: Discharged patients that remain in the hospital have become a frequent problem in hospitals all over the world. This study aims to identify the more common reasons for this unnecessary stay, which leads to the inappropriate use of hospital beds, and to compare them to the international literature. This is a descriptive study about the delays of discharged patients in leaving a university long stay public hospital at the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, using data from the hospital medical records provided by the Hospital Records Service. The most frequent reasons were problems related to transportation from the hospital to the patients´ homes, support from the healthcare network, patients and family resistance to the discharge, home adequacy, wait for pending documents, and training of family members and caregivers. Specificities of the Brazilian reality were identified compared to the international bibliography, showing the need for solutions aimed at each reality to achieve better service utilization.

Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os motivos mais frequentes que fizeram com que pacientes de alta permanecessem sem necessidade no hospital, levando ao uso inadequado do recurso leito hospitalar, e compará-los com o que mostra a literatura internacional. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo em um hospital público universitário de longa permanência, na Região Metropolitana da Grande São Paulo, através de levantamento de dados de prontuários fornecidos pelo SAME do Hospital. Os motivos mais comuns foram problemas relacionados a transporte para a residência, suporte da rede, resistência dos pacientes/familiares, adequação da moradia, espera por documentação e treinamento de familiares/cuidadores. Identificou-se especificidade na realidade brasileira em relação à bibliografia internacional, evidenciando a necessidade de soluções direcionadas a cada realidade para obter melhor utilização dos serviços.Faculdades Pequeno Príncipe2016-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://espacoparasaude.fpp.edu.br/index.php/espacosaude/article/view/29410.22421/15177130-2016v17n2p134Espaço para a Saúde; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2016); 134-142Espaço para a Saúde; v. 17 n. 2 (2016); 134-1421517-71300103-3832reponame:Espaço para a Saúde (Online)instname:Faculdades Pequeno Príncipe (FPP)instacron:FPPporhttps://espacoparasaude.fpp.edu.br/index.php/espacosaude/article/view/294/pdf13Copyright (c) 2016 Fabio Yoshito Ajimura, Ana Maria Malikinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAjimura, Fabio YoshitoMalik, Ana Maria2022-02-14T16:52:43Zoai:ojs.168.194.69.20:article/294Revistahttps://espacoparasaude.fpp.edu.br/index.php/espacosaude/PRIhttps://espacoparasaude.fpp.edu.br/index.php/espacosaude/oaiespaco-saude@fpp.edu.br || elaine.rossi@fpp.edu.br1517-71300103-3832opendoar:2022-02-14T16:52:43Espaço para a Saúde (Online) - Faculdades Pequeno Príncipe (FPP)false
