A morte é um acontecimento natural e inevitável, que se envolve ainda de muito mistério e desafia a omnipotência humana. Objetivo: descrever as estratégias de coping dos enfermeiros para lidarem com o processo de morrer e avaliar se existe associação entre as estratégias de coping e as características sociodemográficas da população em estudo. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, analítico, transversal e com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido numa
Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos de Cardiotorácica, Serviço de Urgência e Cuidados Paliativos de dois hospitais da zona norte de Portugal, com aplicação de um questionário “O Enfermeiro perante a Morte”, entre os meses de junho e dezembro de 2017. Resultados: A estratégia de coping mais utilizada, para 26%, é no tempo livre dedicar-se a atividades prazerosas a fim de esquecer a profissão. Posteriormente encontramos estratégias como “pelo desempenho profissional posso fazer algo pelas pessoas nos momentos difíceis” e “desenvolvi uma filosofia de vida que me permite dar um sentido à vida, ao sofrimento e
ao processo de morte” com a mesma percentagem de 23,4%.
Conclusão: As estratégias de coping mais utilizadas dizem respeito a dedicarem-se a atividades prazerosas nos tempos livres esquecendo-se da atividade profissional, pelo desempenho profissional o enfermeiro sente que pode fazer algo pelas pessoas nos momentos difíceis e desenvolver uma filosofia de vida que permite dar um sentido à vida, ao sofrimento e ao processo de morte. Verificamos que existe associação entre as estratégias de coping e as características sociodemográficas da população em estudo, nomeadamente a idade e os anos de exercício profissional no serviço onde se encontram.
Death is a natural and inevitable event, which is still very mysterious and defies human omnipotence. Objective: verify the coping strategies of nurses to deal with the dying process, and if there is an association between the coping strategies and the sociodemographic characteristics of the study population. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach developed in Cardiothoracic In-tensive Care Unit, Emergency and Palliative Care Unit of two hospitals in the north of Portugal. With the application of a questionnaire ”The Nurse towards Death” between the months of June and December 2017.Results: we found that 49.4% of the sample are nurses from the ER, 39% from the CTICU and only 11.7% from the PC. The most used coping strategy with 26% is in free time forgetting the profession and dedicating itself to pleasurable activities with people with whom it has affective ties. We also found “by professional performance I can do something for people in difficult times” and “I developed a philosophy of life that allows me to give a meaning to life, suffering and the process of death” with the same percentage of 23.4%Conclusion: The most used coping strategies are to dedicate themselves to leisure activities in leisure time, forgetting about professional activity, professional performance, and the nurse feels that he can do something for people in difficult times and develop a philosophy of life that allows giving a meaning to life, suffering and the process of death.We verified that there is an association between coping strategies and the sociodemographic characteristics of the study population, namely age and years of professional practice in the service where they are.
