Uma análise das ações assistenciais de enfermeiros com pessoas enlutadas.

Abstract

The awareness of the finitude of life is a distinct element in humans. However, the loss of loved ones is always reflected as pain, involving the completion of a job shutdown, which is called mourning. Grief is a process of reconstruction, reorganization, and challenging emotional and cognitive with which the subject has to deal. So losing someone significant implies the need to adapt to live without her, when the mourning happens, not only is the person who dies is lost, but the whole universe of the person identified is destroyed. So, study the death is something that can help you work with your constant presence, showing the need for health professionals to be familiar with the subject since graduating with a view to a personal and professional preparation in order to reduce stress and anxiety to discuss and live daily with these painful situations, providing the elaboration and clarification of their concerns forward to the unknown, to be able to maintain an interpersonal relationship and help the family at this time. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the actions of nursing care to people who have lost their loved ones. Participants were 10 nurses. It was used as an instrument of data collection a script of semi-structured interview. The statements were made by the technique of the Collective Subject Lefevre and Lefevre (2005). Collected materials point to the relevance of the proposed topic, noting that professionals rated their care positively within what is has to offer. It was also possible to observe the difficulty many nurses have to talk about the irreversibility of death. Many do not assist the bereaved family or summarize in a home visit, taking as an excuse the everyday tasks of the occupation. It was also noticed that users only seek Health Unit in these situations to requests referrals in extreme cases. There seems to be some lack of preparation on the part of nurses to deal with their own feelings and emotions during those moments in the community. With this research it became evident the need for changes both in educational institutions and in work institutions in order to prepare students and professionals for assistance in death, which is the essence of caring, both with people who need to be helped at this stage of his life, and for their families.
