Resumo: | Background: Nursing care in critical situations has had significant advances when it comes to the quality of patient assistance due to a large technological investment in this area during the last few years. The critically ill patient family faces significant challenges. Nurses are the health care professionals with constant presence and with the skills to assess and intervene in response to the patient’s and family’s needs due to the relation they establish with both. Caring for the family of the critically ill patient demands that nurses posess specialized skills mainly due to the emergency context. Aim: To integrate and summarize nurse’s experience of caring for the family of the critically ill person in a critical situation.Design: Comprehensive systematic review. Methods: This paper included 9 studies from electronic databases and digital scientific national repository whose participants were nurses, working in critical care units, emergency departments and pre-hospital care, with experience in caring for families of the critically ill adults. Results: The experiences of participants in the studies show that nurses experienced difficulties in caring for the family of the critically ill person. The difficulties are associated with lack of time, lack of resources, fear of emotional connection, constant focus on the care of the critically ill person, poor education, intrapersonal conflicts and lack of awareness of the family’s needs. The main strategies used by nurses in order to care for the family of the critically ill person are: promoting the presence of family members near the patient, supporting bereaved families, communicating proper information about the patient’s condition and giving relatives the opportunity to be involved in the patient’s care. Conclusions: The studies reviewed indicate that promoting family presence is essential in order to achieve high standards of nursing care to the critically ill person. However, there are not enough studies in this area to allow us to take general conclusions and there are even fewer studies using a phenomenological approach, so it is important to produce research about the lived experience of nurses caring for the family of the critically ill person. |

Problemática: O cuidado de enfermagem em situação crítica tem registado avanços significativos no que se refere à qualidade da assistência à pessoa devido ao enorme investimento tecnológico que tem sido feito nesta área nos últimos anos. A família da pessoa em situação crítica enfrenta desafios significativos. Os enfermeiros são os profissionais de saúde com presença assídua e com competências para avaliar e intervir nas necessidades do doente e família devido à relação única que criam com ambos. Cuidar a família da pessoa em situação crítica exige do enfermeiro competências especializadas pelas particularidades do próprio contexto de urgência e emergência. Objetivo: Integrar e sumarizar a experiência dos enfermeiros de cuidar da família da pessoa em situação crítica. Desenho: Revisão sistemática compreensiva da literatura. Métodos: Foram incluídos 9 estudos a partir da pesquisa em base de dados electrónicas e repositórios científicos digitais nacionais, cujos participantes são enfermeiros, que exercem profissionalmente em unidades de cuidados intensivos, serviços de urgência e pré-hospitalar, com experiência de cuidar de famílias de adultos em situação crítica. Resultados: A experiência dos participantes dos estudos analisados revela que os enfermeiros experenciam dificuldades para cuidar da família da pessoa em situação crítica. São dificuldades que estão normalmente associadas à falta de tempo, à ausência de recursos, ao receio de aproximação emocional, à priorização constante dos cuidados à pessoa, à reduzida formação, aos conflitos intrapessoais e ao desconhecimento das necessidades da família. As principais estratégias utilizadas pelos enfermeiros para cuidar da família da pessoa em situação crítica são a promoção da sua presença junto da pessoa doente, o apoio em situações de luto, a comunicação eficaz de informações sobre o estado do seu ente querido e a promoção do seu envolvimento na participação dos cuidados à pessoa em situação crítica. Conclusões: A maioria dos estudos concluiu que promover a presença da família é essencial na prestação de cuidados de enfermagem de excelência à pessoa em situação crítica. Contudo, existem poucos estudos sobre esta área temática que permitam tirar conclusões mais abrangentes e um ainda menor número de estudos com uma abordagem fenomenológica, pelo que seria pertinente desenvolver investigação sobre a experiência vivida dos enfermeiros no cuidar da família da pessoa em situação crítica.Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa - ESEL/ CIDNUR2015-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.56732/pensarenf.v19i1.102https://doi.org/10.56732/pensarenf.v19i1.102Pensar Enfermagem ; Vol. 19 No. 1 (2015): Journal of Nursing Pensar Enfermagem; 31-46Pensar Enfermagem ; Vol. 19 N.º 1 (2015): Revista Científica Pensar Enfermagem; 31-461647-55260873-890410.56732/pensarenf.v19i1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://pensarenfermagem.esel.pt/index.php/esel/article/view/102https://pensarenfermagem.esel.pt/index.php/esel/article/view/102/97Ferreira Rodrigues Galinha de Sá, Florinda LauraRebelo Botelho, Maria AntóniaPereira Henriques, Maria Adrianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-26T10:37:59Zoai:pensarenfermagem.esel.pt:article/102Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:31:10.571154Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
