Resum:
The thesis is a qualitative research which describes and identifies the nursing professionals’ experiences and perceptions about the cures offered to the families who live a dying situation in the emergency department, as well as the families’ experiences, perceptions and feelings about the received support during the treatment process.
It follows the Grounded Theory procedures, within the research questions: “how do nurses that work in Emergencies department, take care of the families, specifically these ones who are experiencing a similar situation of dying process?”; “Do they feel emotionally prepared to take care of the families in a short-term?”, will be answered by the professionals’ voice. In the other hand, the research questions: “what do the families need in a dying situation in the Emergencies department?; Do they feel enough supported by the professionals who are with them?” will be answered by the families’ words.
The emergent axles: the communication/information powers, the professional prosecution for the dimensions of the care, the humanization of the death in the Emergencies department and the emotional support in the mourning process, contain the informants’ meanings, behaviours and values, when they live a dying situation. Their vital experiences are unique, individuals, and cause personal and/or professional reflections, which show a common necessity: to improve the well health of nurses and families.
The application of the K. Swanson’s theorist model gives meaning to the realty lived by nurses in these situations, and lets them improve the cures of the clinics practice, as well as the nursery basics competencies, enriching the humanistic component of the profession. The application gives sense to the families’ attention, which is very useful for them, for the emotional management and also for the nurse well-being.
