A arte de cuidar em enfermagem: tecnologias aplicadas no cuidado neonatal

Abstract

It is unquestionable as the evolution of technology has changed the prognosis and survival of newborns at high risk, but it is now known that only meet the clinical is not enough, so the goal is to deploy technologies of care in that other aspects are also considered. In this sense, we trace the following objectives: to identify the technologies employed in the care of neonatal intensive care units of hospitals federal university of southeastern Brazil, to describe nurses' views about the humanization of neonatal intensive care unit, and discuss the technologies applied in the care of neonatal intensive care units in the light of Transpersonal Theory of Human Care. Qualitative study, which was chosen as research subjects, nurses working in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Federal University Hospitals of southeastern Brazil. For data analysis, we used the technique of thematic analysis. As a result it was possible to build the following categories: cost of nursing care used in the NICU; The look on the humanization of neonatal nurses; Proposals for improvement of care in the NICU. Finally the study it was revealed that the care provided to newborns in the NICU remains intrinsically linked to the hard technology, the technology is still not glimpsed care. It is noticed that more can be done to humanize the neonatal care since before the various technologies available care a few are still being used, or when it is so fragmented. Making it imperative to scientific research that addresses these issues.
