Cuidado especializado em enfermagem

: uma perspetiva multicultural da pessoa em situação crítica

Abstract

This internship report, inserted in the study plan of the 14th Master's Course in Nursing with the specialization in medical and surgical nursing in the area of person in critical situation, is based on a critical-reflexive analysis of the experiences faced throughout the internships in the context of intensive care unit and emergency, allowing to describe the path made for the acquisition of scientific, technical, ethical and relational skills that justify the title of specialist nurse. The professional experience as an operating room nurse gave me solid foundations in providing care to the person in critical situation. The internship in intensive care showed me a different reality of the person in critical situation, where the priorities and competencies of nurses are also different and specific. The acquisition of skills occurred in the provision of care to the person in a critical situation and family, with the opportunity to deepen and share knowledge with the team on the theme of the airway. The international internship in Israel was enriching at the human and professional level, due to the cultural, spiritual and organizational differences encountered, made me grow and think critically about some of the practices of everyday life and opened my horizons in the area of catastrophe, emergency and care to the person in a critical situation and family in a situation of urgency and emergency. In this formative journey, the theme of the difficult airway proved extremely important, because it is transversal to all services that address the person in a critical situation. Thus, I developed a research work on this theme, the target of evaluation for master skills, with the title: "Interventions of the multidisciplinary team in the approach of the Difficult Airway in the Person in critical situation: a scoping review." The internships performed as well as the scientific aspect made me think and act with a new look at my professional practice, thus extending my knowledge, with a view to the constant improvement of skills as a nurse.
