Corporeidade e cuidado: um olhar para o cotidiano da equipe de enfermagem na admissão do paciente no centro cirúrgico

Abstract

The weightings about the patient's admission to the operating room and the period before surgery give an expectation to those who are waiting, and the evident need for professional care that is both, effective and emotionally affective, considering the experiences and care that takes into account the corporeality of those involved. In contextualizing perioperative care, the main purpose of nursing is to establish assistance to surgical patients and their families, that is, to provide nursing care in the pre, trans and postoperative periods. The objective of this study is to analyze how the nursing staff perceives the care and corporeality in their daily life during the patient's admission to the Surgical Center. The research methodology took place through the qualitative and descriptive perspective, under the post-critical view, following the precepts of ethnography, which is characterized by the dense description of relationships, mapping of specific environments, experience of daily practices. Its application in nursing may represent a new way of caring, which takes into account the patient's needs from the perspective of their cultural group, which may reveal new dimensions for the practice of the profession. The collection took place through semi-structured interviews, field diary reports, and participant observation, describing in detail the data lived in the daily lives of the people involved in the research. Six professionals were interviewed, both from the nursing staff (one nurse and two technicians), as well as the transportation professionals (three stretcher-bearers), who worked in the operating room, admission room, and at the patient's reception. Data analysis followed the precepts of Bardin's content analysis, allowing a broader view of the collected data. The research results showed potentialities when the nursing team perceives a group work, with willingness, mutual help, attentive care, but the weaknesses overlap, in the sense of poor infrastructure, technical actions, reduced staffing, the interpersonal relationships of managers and the multidisciplinary team that hinder effective and emotionally affective care in the admission of the surgical patient. This research enabled the experience of the hospital space, bringing out the daily aspects of the nursing staff, their experiences in meeting with the patient, as well as the servisse.
