to calculate the average total cost (ATC) on the direct labor costs (DLC) of nursing professionals in body mobilization of patients for the prevention of pressure ulcers.
this is a quantitative, exploratory and, descriptive research. We observed 656 preventive mobilizations and we calculated the cost by multiplying the time spent by professionals at a unitary DLC.
ATC with DLC for each Unit corresponded to: Medical Clinic R$ 5.38 for bed turning, R$ 5.26 for seating positions, R$ 5.55 for walking aid; Surgical Clinic R$ 2.42 for bed turning, R$ 2.30 for seating positions, R$ 2.96 for walking aid and Intensive Care Unit R$ 8.15 for bed turning, R$ 7.57 for seating positions, R$ 15.32 for walking aid.
the knowledge generated can support management related to costs of human resources needed to efficiently and effectively nursing care.
