Resumo: The presence of a family member contributes to safety of care, maintains the family bond and plays a vital role in health outcomes. As a precaution to the COVID-19 transmission, the ability to have a relative in the intensive care unit (ICU) was suspended, and the communication between the patient and his family was interrupted. This study aimed to present the experience of the team with a nursing intervention entitled "Virtual Hug", implemented in a Brazilian public hospital ICU. A room was provided where the family could write letters in their own handwriting, deposit them in a box, and then they were read aloud to the patient by health professionals. This communication-focused intervention provided integral, humanized care, and became a tool of emotional support. It reduced the impact produced by disruption in the affective bond due to the need for isolation, corroborating with public policies of humanization and family nursing.

Como precaución a la transmisión del COVID-19, se suspendió la posibilidad de tener un familiar en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) y se interrumpió la comunicación entre el paciente y su familia. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo presentar la experiencia del equipo con una intervención de enfermería titulada "Abrazo Virtual", implementada en una UTI de un hospital público brasileño. Se brindó una habitación donde la familia podía escribir cartas de su puño y letra, depositarlas en una caja y luego ser leídas en voz alta al paciente por profesionales de la salud. Esta intervención centrada en la comunicación brindó atención integral, humanizada y se convirtió en una herramienta de apoyo emocional. Disminuyó el impacto producido por la ruptura en el vínculo afectivo por la necesidad de aislamiento, corroborando con las políticas públicas de humanización y enfermería familiar.A presença de um familiar contribui para a segurança do cuidado, mantém o vínculo familiar e desempenha um papel vital nos resultados de saúde.
