Abstract

Nursing is a profession that integrates science and art of care and whose essence is the specificity and care for human beings, so full and holistic, and its ethical principle guaranteeing the dignity of the patient, develops independently or in team activities promotion, protection, prevention and rehabilitation of health. The patient to be hospitalized for surgery brings with it anxieties and doubts to know that he will undergo an invasive procedure and unknown, meaning an emergency, thus, the preoperative humanized is indispensable for achieving an efficient rehabilitation and to reduce their rates of complications, so the nurse has many responsibilities in the care of surgical patients, such as education, physical fitness and psychological assessment and discharge. So it was aimed to analyze the importance of the humanization of nursing care to patients in the pre-operative admitted to a public hospital of the High Hinterland Paraiba and evaluate the applicability of nursing care during the preoperative period of patients undergoing surgery. It was made from an exploratory research with a qualitative approach. The participants were 12 patients in which we applied a semi-structured questionnaire and data collected in the month of November this year. The results were categorized and then analyzed using the method of content analysis proposed by Bardin (2001). It was found that all patients were nervous, scared and uninformed about the surgical procedure, and also realized that the preoperative teaching is directed only to routine technical procedures, thus, we noted the absence of a humanized care occurred in the care of the institution studied, where there is a helping relationship is the essence of which is a humanized attitude, taking into account the real needs presented by patients, which are important for their physical and psychological recovery. Anyway, hope that this research contributes to understanding of professionals, not only nurses, but all of which perform preoperative and that from this, further discussions are held, to ensure reflection and awareness of such professionals as the importance of adopting the holistic model of care in the surgical clinic.
