Abstract
The research on the situation of Nursing in Hemodynamics in Spain by the MAREC study arises in the Spanish Association of Nursing in Cardiology. Objective: to describe the available resources, the participation, the tasks and the level of autonomy of Nursing in Hemodynamics in Spain. Methodology. Cross-sectional descriptive study carried out with the aid of a self-administrated questionnaire on the nursing characteristics, staff and role in Hemodynamics units of public, private or state-contracted hospitals in Spain. Results. Participation was of 66.14% (n=84) of effective candidate centers (n=127). Out of these centers having been studied, 74 (88.1%) had a Hemodynamics unit. Murcia stands out with 2.40 hemodynamics units per million of inhabitants (national mean 1.59 units/ million of inhabitants). 86.3% have an attention program for infarction code and 63.5% have an outpatient clinic. 54.1% have two nurses per ward and 33.8% have three nurses. Four centers have nursing consultation managed by hemodynamics nurses. 62.2% have checklist or pre-intervention verification list. In 6.8% of centers, there are Nursing Doctors, and in half of them no nurse has a master‘s degree. 52.7% had an average of 3.1±1.9 nurses certified as «Expert in Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology» by the SHCI-AEEC. Conclusions. There is a big difference as regards to the resources available, the participation and the level of autonomy concerning hemodynamics nursing at national level. Future lines of study should analyze the unification of organization and human resources management criteria.
