Tomada de decisão em enfermagem de reabilitação nos cuidados intensivos: focos de atenção

Abstract

Objective: to understand the focus of care developed by nurses specialized in adult intensive care rehabilitation. Methods: qualitative study with a focus group session with six nurses, specialists in rehabilitation nursing, who have roles in the intensive care of three hospitals. The informa-tion transcribed was submitted to content analysis. Results: regarding the profile of participants, three were female and three were male, with ages varying from 28 to 51 years old, with a mean of 39.33 years old (standard deviation=7.32). Through data analysis, two categories emerged: Sedated Clients and Awake Clients. Conclusion: when the client was sedated, the care was focused on the processes of the res-piratory and musculoskeletal systems that were compromi-sed. When he was awake, more elements related to those body processes became foci of care, in addition to other ele-ments related to the psychological process, to the phenome-non of status, and to self-care.
