Abstract: This was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aimed to understand how nursing professionals (nurses and technicians) perceive the humanization policy within the scenario of an intensive care unit (ICU) and their importance in this process. It was developed in a private institution in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, with 18 participants. Data were gathered through a structured interview. Issues relating to elements and characteristics that define humanization came out from the analysis, along with questions present within the process that facilitate it or cause difficulties. It was concluded that empathy, respect and value recognition are essential elements and that nursing professionals believe that they can make a difference in the process of humanization, with a view to improvements in care practices based on ethics, dialogue and the autonomy of patients, their family and the nursing team.

TL;DR: It was concluded that, in the perception of the nurses, orthothanasia is a practice that respects human dignity through a dignified death and is surrounded by bioethical principles that allow the suspension of curative measures, providing space for palliative care as a mechanism for reducing the suffering and pain of patients in the terminal phase.
Abstract: This article aims to understand the meaning of the process of dying with dignity in an intensive care unit from the perception of nurses. A qualitative study was performed with 12 nurses of the lato sensu nursing specialization course in adult, pediatric and neonatal ICUs of the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, through the discourse analysis approach proposed by Laurence Bardin. An interview was used as the research instrument. Following discourse analysis, five categories emerged as discussed throughout the article. It was concluded that, in the perception of the nurses, orthothanasia is a practice that respects human dignity through a dignified death. Additionally, it is surrounded by bioethical principles that allow the suspension of curative measures, providing space for palliative care as a mechanism for reducing the suffering and pain of patients in the terminal phase.

TL;DR: The objective of this descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study is to describe the concept and practice of care humanization developed by nurses of the referred ICU, who form a team undergoing a continuous process of development and scientific study.
Abstract: doi: 10.5216/ree.v15i2.17916 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5216/ree.v15i2.17916 . ABSTRACT This descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study was developed at a public Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Goiânia (Goias, Brazil), with the objective to describe the concept and practice of care humanization developed by nurses of the referred ICU, who form a team undergoing a continuous process of development and scientific study. Data collection was performed in 2011, with seven nurses of the ICU, by means of taped semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed and categorized by content analysis, revealing the categories “The concept of humanization” and “Practice in the everyday intensive care routine”. Nurses are familiar with the concept and know how to practice humanized care, but still do not apply that knowledge in every situation, assigning this to external factors. It is necessary to identify the bottlenecks of this process to help plan the interventions needed to produce effective changes in the behavior of these workers. Descriptors: Humanization of Assistance; Nursing; Intensive Care Units.

A participacao da familia foi o aspecto mais relevante para os profissionais, que expressaram a importância da permanencia dos pais na unidade de terapia e sua participacao nos cuidados ao recem-nascido.
