Resumo: Objective: To analyze the concept of therapeutic touch in nursing care, specifying its attributes, antecedents, and consequents. Methods: This is a conceptual analysis of the evolutive view of Rodgers (2000), about the concept of therapeutic touch in nursing care, together with an integrative literature review based on the research question: What is the concept of therapeutic touch in nursing care? What are the attributes, antecedents, and consequents of therapeutic touch in nursing care? The search was conducted in the electronic databases CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts, MedicLatina, in the b-on Online Knowledge Library, by combining the descriptors DeCS/MESH “therapeutic touch”, “nursing” e “nursing care” and the Boolean operator AND over the period from 2000 to 2020. Results: The sample was composed of eight studies that identified three thematic pillars: (i) attributes: complementary and effective method, technique, tool, nursing intervention, use of hands, intention to help or heal, complementary treatment, intentional touch, and energy transfer; (ii) antecedents: pain, anxiety, fatigue, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, tension headache, fibromyalgia syndrome, and cardiovascular problems; (iii) consequents: promotes a calming effect; increases empathy, satisfaction, interaction, respect, sense of worth and life; promotes well-being, comfort, tranquility and peace, hope, security, motivation, mood and sleep quality; reduces stress and disruptive behaviors; promotes better functional status and quality of life. Conclusion: Therapeutic touch is implicit in the professional practice of nurses, requiring concrete and unique adjustment to the real circumstances and needs of the person, towards a practice that promotes comfort.

Métodos: Trata-se de uma análise conceitual na visão evolutiva de Rodgers (2000), sobre o conceito de toque terapêutico na assistência de enfermagem, juntamente com a revisão integrativa da bibliografia baseada na questão da pesquisa: Qual é o conceito de toque terapêutico no cuidado de enfermagem? Quais são os atributos, antecedentes e consequentes do toque terapêutico no cuidado com a enfermagem? A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts, MedicLatina, na Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online b-on, através da conjugação dos descritores DeCS/MESH “therapeutic touch”, “nursing” e “nursing care” e do operador booleano AND no período temporal de 2000 a 2020. Resultados: A amostra foi formada por oito estudos que identificaram três pilares temáticos: (i) atributos: método complementar e eficaz, técnica, ferramenta, intervenção de enfermagem, uso de mãos, intenção de ajudar ou curar, tratamento complementar, toque intencional e transferência de energia; (ii) antecedentes: dor, ansiedade, fadiga, demência, doença de Alzheimer, cefaleia de tensão, síndrome de fibromialgia e problemas cardiovasculares; (iii) consequentes: promove um efeito calmante; aumenta a empatia, satisfação, interação, respeito, senso de valor e vida; promove bem-estar, conforto, tranquilidade e paz, esperança, segurança, motivação, humor e qualidade do sono; reduz o estresse e comportamentos perturbadores; promove melhor estado funcional e qualidade de vida. Conclusão: O toque terapêutico está implícito na prática profissional dos enfermeiros, exigindo um ajuste concreto e singular às circunstâncias e necessidades reais da pessoa, em favor de uma prática que promova o conforto.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaMendes, Alcina Maria Ferreira Ascenso da SilvaBrás, Sónia Cristina NetoMarques, Rita Margarida DouradoPontífice-Sousa, Patrícia2023-02-15T13:55:27Z20232023-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/40238eng0103-210010.37689/acta-ape/2022AR00706685160971324info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:45:47Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/40238Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:32:58.265938Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
