Promover a vinculação segura

: o papel do enfermeiro especialista

Abstract

The concept of a child's attachment to a primary caregiver is not only highly complex but also considered fundamental during the provision of nursing care. As a nurse, I find myself in an ideal position to promote a secure bond between the primary caregiver and the child. This allows me to identify manifestations and behaviors in the child associated with an insecure attachment, enabling early intervention in care, devising strategies for partnership in care between the primary caregiver/nurse, and implementing nursing interventions that foster this bond. The main objective of this report is to acquire Specialist Nurse in Child and Pediatric Health (SNCPH) competencies through analysis, research on the theme of attachment promotion, and reflection on the activities and experiences gained in various internship contexts, namely, Neonatology Unit, Pediatric Emergency, and Pediatric Inpatient Care. The methodology adopted involved project methodology to define specific objectives and subsequent activities tailored to each context (brochures, posters, training sessions, and didactic resources) following each situational diagnosis, always aiming for a perspective of providing excellent nursing care. Kathryn E. Barnard's theoretical work supported the entire skills development journey, both in decision-making processes and their justification. This report will include a detailed analysis of all activities carried out in the three internship contexts, such as the development of health sessions, posters, bookmarks, activities with children., "parent's storytelling box", as well as the identification of SNCPH competencies acquired in each internship context, based on the promotion of attachment between the child/primary caregiver.
