Keywords:
Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Conservative Treatment, Outcome and Process Assessment, Health CareAbstract
Objective: To evaluate the quality of the structure of a specialized outpatient clinic in conservative treatment with vaginal pessaries. Method: An evaluative study was carried out in 2019, at the Vaginal Pessary Outpatient Clinic, of the Hospital Geral de Fortaleza. For the evaluation, it was considered the element structure of the quality, based on the triad proposed by Avery Donabedian (1988): infrastructure, equipment, inputs and human resources. The information was obtained in site visit. The instruments were constructed and adapted from other evaluative studies and according to the research literature. The data were presented descriptively. Results: It was identified that the service has a structure in accordance with the recommended in the research literature, except to the absence of area reserved to the performance of collective educational activities. Outcome: It was evidenced that the second outpatient clinic is in accordance to the recommendations in the research literature, in concern to the elements of physical structure, human resources and inputs. In spite of low variability of the pessary models, available to the insertion, this does not seem to impact the high rates of adhesion and successful insertion.
