Resumo: Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is responsible for thousands of cases and deaths in Brazil and cancer patients are more vulnerable to the disease. The need for social isolation determined the restructuring of flows and routines at the Cancer Hospital II of the National Cancer Institute José Alencar Gomes da Silva (HCII-INCA). Objective: To describe the experience of the HCII-INCA nutrition clinic in patients remote care during the pandemic. Method: The experiences of the nutritionists responsible for outpatient care and the head of the Nutrition and Dietetics Section of the HCII (SND-HCII) between April and June 2020 were compiled and discussed. Results: Some SND-HCII adaptation measures were carried out, such as the restriction of in-person assistance and the beginning of remote assistance, via telephone; the suspension of group activities and the extension of the interval for scheduling patients’ return. Between April and June 2020, 192 patients were seen at the nutrition clinic, a 56% drop compared to the first quarter of 2020. Despite the drop in the number of visits, the absenteeism rate decreased considerably when the two quarters are compared. The reduction in this index was considered the main advantage of remote service, allowing a greater number of services to be carried out, in proportion to the hours available. Conclusion: Remote nutritional care for outpatients at HCII-INCA may be considered for incorporation into the institution’s routine.

Objetivo: Describir la experiencia de la clínica de nutrición HCII-INCA en la atención remota de pacientes durante la pandemia. Método: Se recopilaron y discutieron las experiencias de los nutricionistas responsables de la atención ambulatoria y del jefe de la Sección de Nutrición y Dietética del HCII (SND-HCII) entre abril y junio de 2020. Resultados: Algunas medidas de adaptación para el SND-HCII incluyeron la restricción de la asistencia presencial y el inicio de la asistencia remota, vía telefónica; la suspensión de las actividades grupales y la extensión del intervalo para programar el regreso de los pacientes. Entre abril y junio de 2020, 192 pacientes fueron atendidos en la clínica de nutrición, una caída del 56% respecto al primer trimestre de 2020. A pesar de esta caída en el número de visitas, la tasa de absentismo disminuyó considerablemente cuando se comparan los dos trimestres. La reducción de este índice se consideró la principal ventaja del servicio a distancia, permitiendo realizar un mayor número de servicios, en proporción a las horas disponibles. Conclusión: La atención nutricional remota para pacientes ambulatorios del HCII-INCA puede ser considerada para su incorporación a la rutina de la institución.Introdução: A pandemia da doença pelo coronavírus 2019 (coronavirus disease 2019 – Covid-19) é responsável por milhares de casos e mortes no Brasil e pacientes com câncer são mais vulneráveis à doença.

Objetivo: Descrever a experiência do ambulatório de nutrição do HCII-INCA no atendimento remoto aos pacientes durante a pandemia. Método: Foram compiladas e discutidas as experiências das nutricionistas responsáveis pelos atendimentos ambulatoriais e da chefia da Seção de Nutrição e Dietética do HCII (SND-HCII) no período entre abril e junho de 2020.

Entre abril e junho de 2020, 192 pacientes foram atendidos no ambulatório de nutrição, uma queda de 56% em comparação com o primeiro trimestre de 2020. Apesar dessa queda no número de atendimentos, o índice de absenteísmo reduziu consideravelmente quando os dois trimestres são comparados. A redução desse índice foi considerada a principal vantagem do atendimento remoto, possibilitando a realização de um número maior de atendimentos, proporcionalmente aos horários disponíveis.
