Abstract
OBJETIVO: Identificar e analisar a percepção de enfermeiros da unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital escola em Londrina sobre distanásia em pacientes terminais na unidade de terapia intensiva. MÉTODOS: Estudo de natureza qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada gravada, com nove enfermeiros das unidades de terapia intensiva de um hospital escola, no mês de janeiro de 2009. Foi utilizada a análise temática para analisar os discursos dos sujeitos e identificar as categorias de discussão. RESULTADOS: Foram identificadas cinco categorias que foram discutidas com base na experiência dos autores e na literatura, sendo elas: medidas que prolongam a vida do paciente fora de possibilidade de cura na unidade de terapia intensiva; ações/reações dos enfermeiros diante da distanásia; motivos que levam ao prolongamento da vida de pacientes fora de possibilidade de cura; sentimentos dos enfermeiros sobre a distanásia e prolongamento da vida; medidas de cuidado em oposição à distanásia. CONCLUSÃO: A vivência dos enfermeiros perante as ações de distanásia mostrou-se complexa, sendo um fator de sofrimento, frustração a inquietação para estes profissionais. A falta de comunicação destaca-se como fator importante na visão dos enfermeiros para a ocorrência de distanásia e a medida para substituir a distanásia são os cuidados que proporcionam alivio do sofrimento.
PURPOSE: Identify and evaluate the perception of Intensivist Nurses in a University Hospital in Londrina, of dysthanasia in terminal patients at the Intensive Care Unit. METHODS: Qualitative study. Data were collected by semi-structured recorded interview involving nine nurses working in a university hospital intensive care units, during January 2009. A thematic analysis was used to evaluate subjects' speech and identify discussion categories. RESULTS: Five categories were identified, discussed based on the authors' experience and literature, namely: measures prolonging life of patients with no chance of cure in the intensive care unit; nurses' actions/reactions when facing dysthanasia; reasons leading to prolonging life of patients with no chance of cure; nurses' feelings about dysthanasia and life prolongation; care measures as opposed to dysthanasia. CONCLUSION: Experiencing of nurses when facing dysthanasia actions was shown to be complex, a factor of suffering, frustration and discomfort for these professionals. In the nurses' view, lack of communication stands out as an important factor for dysthanasia, and measures to replace dysthanasia are those relieving suffering.
