The objective of this quantitative, correlational and descriptive study was to analyze the time the nursing staff spends to assist patients in Adult Intensive Care Units, as well as to verify its correlation with quality care indicators. The average length of time spent on care and the quality care indicators were identified by consulting management instruments the nursing head of the Unit employs. The average hours of nursing care delivered to patients remained stable, but lower than official Brazilian agencies' indications. The correlation between time of nursing care and the incidence of accidental extubation indicator indicated that it decreases with increasing nursing care delivered by nurses. The results of this investigation showed the influence of nursing care time, provided by nurses, in the outcome of care delivery.
这项定量、相关性和描述性研究的目的是分析护理人员在成人重症监护病房协助患者所花费的时间，并验证其与优质护理指标的相关性。通过查阅该科室护士长使用的管理工具，确定了护理时间的平均长度和优质护理指标。提供给患者的护理平均时长保持稳定，但低于巴西官方机构的指标。护理时间与意外拔管指标发生率之间的相关性表明，随着护士提供的护理增加，该指标会降低。这项调查结果显示了护士提供的护理时间对护理结果的影响。
