To standardize the duty shift in a General Adult Intensive Care Unit.
Method:
Multi-method research, which used action research, descriptive study and content validation. Participants included 11 care nurses and 4 intensive care nurses. For the data collection, a semi-structured questionnaire was used, meetings with participants and validation with specialists. In this step, the modified online Delphi Technique was used. For data treatment, the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DCS) was used, descriptive analysis and Content Validity Index.
Results:
Three DCS on duty change, a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and an information registration instrument, validated in appearance, clarity, suitability and content.
Final considerations:
The instrument assists in the transmission of information, strengthening patient safety and SOP will outline the shift, these tools can improve ICU shift, minimizing the risks of communication failure.

Objective:
To identify the predominant chronotype in nursing workers who work in surgical clinics of university hospitals and to verify the association with work shift.
Method:
Cross-sectional study, performed in surgical clinics of university hospitals in the Southern region of Brazil. The sample of 270 nursing workers answered questions of socio-occupational characterization, of health and the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire of Horne and Östberg. We performed a descriptive and bivariate analysis with the help of the SPSS software and confidence interval of 95%.
Results:
The indifferent chronotype predominated (45.2%). There were significant differences between occupational categories and variables “age” (p<0.001), “use of medication” (p=0.035) and “choice of work shift” (p=0.001). There was an association between the chronotype and the variables “work leave due to illness” (p=0.021), “children” (p=0.025), “use of medication” (p=0.018) and “work shift” (p=0.001).
Conclusion:
The chronotype remained indifferent, and the results confirmed association between chronotype and work shift.
