Abstract
ABSTRACT Qualitative study, developed through discussion groups, with the objective to elaborate, along with nurses, a tool to monitor patients submitted to blood transfusion. Study participants were 11 nursing professionals, being three nursing technicians and eight nurses. Data were analyzed with the content analysis technique, resulting in two categories: Quality of nursing care for patients undergoing blood transfusion and monitoring of patients submitted to blood transfusion. It was identified that professionals are able to understanding the concept of quality and seek to implement actions to achieve a good standard of patient care. In line with the current regulations, the professionals have structured a tool for recording information on blood transfusion, serving as a tool to monitor patients who are receiving this therapy. This research is intended to help identify and intervene early in the onset of transfusion reactions.

Blood transfusion institutions are responsible for maintaining registers related to the transfusion in patient’s records, such as date, start and end date of the blood transfusion, vital signs at the beginning and end, origin and identification of the blood component bags, identification of responsible professionals and records of transfusion reactions.[4]
The guiding question for the first group was: how do you observe the quality in nursing care for patients submitted to blood transfusion? In the second group: what should be the structure of a tool to monitor blood transfusion patients? The third group: does the constructed tool permit monitoring patients submitted to blood transfusion?
