Objective: To analyze the quality of nursing process records and compare them according to hospitalization units. Method: a cross-sectional, retrospective study that analyzed 258 medical records, between the months of March and July 2022, of patients admitted in 2019, in a large hospital in the Midwest region. The Quality of Diagnoses, Interventions and Outcomes instrument, validated for Brazil, was used to measure the quality of the records. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee. Results: considering the dimensions of nursing diagnoses as a process and as a product, the overall mean scores were 4.5(±2.6) and 7.1(±4.1), respectively. As for the dimensions of nursing interventions and outcomes, the mean scores were 3.0(±2.1) and 4.7(±4.8). There were variations in the mean scores between the units analyzed, with a significant difference (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results showed low quality scores for nursing process records, and the mean scores differed between the inpatient units analyzed.
