Este documento pretende relatar as atividades desenvolvidas no contexto dos estágios
realizados na Unidade de Queimados e no Serviço de Medicina 1C do CHLN-EPE-Pólo HSM;
no âmbito do Curso de Mestrado em Enfermagem de Natureza Profissional na área de
Especialização em Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgica, do Instituto de Ciências da Saúde da
Universidade Católica Portuguesa (ICS-UCP). Assim, constitui um relato e um momento de
reflexão no que respeita às atividades realizadas e à aquisição de competências para a prática
de enfermagem enquanto Enfermeira Especialista na Área da Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgica.
O resultado da intervenção do enfermeiro estende-se além do internamento, beneficiando o
doente e a sua família/cuidador também após a alta hospitalar. Nesta perspectiva holística do
cuidar, o enfermeiro assume um papel central na organização dos cuidados no seio da equipa
de saúde multiprofissional.
As atividades desenvolvidas visaram a promoção do conforto através da intervenção
significativa e realista do enfermeiro, junto do doente e da sua família/cuidador. A perspetiva de
cuidar do enfermeiro em contexto de internamento tornou-se também mais abrangente, e abriu
caminho à entrada da família no serviço como parceira no cuidar.
A criação e implementação da Visita de Acolhimento Familiar e do projeto de Capacitação do
Cuidador Informal para a prestação de cuidados ao doente após a alta hospitalar, revelou-se
uma importante estratégia de promoção do conforto do doente e da família/cuidador e, em
última análise, do enfermeiro (enquanto profissional) bem como da restante equipa
multidisciplinar; numa tentativa de operacionalização da Teoria do Conforto de K. Kolcaba.
