A elaboração deste relatório surge no âmbito do Curso de Mestrado em
Enfermagem de Natureza Profissional da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, na área da
Especialidade Médico-Cirúrgica, para a obtenção do título de Enfermeiro Especialista.
Representa o culminar de todas as aprendizagens, reflexões e aquisição de competências
desenvolvidas ao longo da unidade curricular estágio.
A prática clínica desenvolveu-se em três módulos diferentes: Comissão de
Controlo de Infecção, Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos e, Serviço de Urgência. Foi
abordada a temática da Infecção Hospitalar em todos eles, visto ser um tema actual e
transversal aos diferentes serviços, requerendo grande atenção dos profissionais por ser
uma causa importante de morbilidade e mortalidade hospitalar, aumentando o tempo de
internamento e custos em Saúde.
A prática clínica, decorreu na CCI do Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte, onde
desenvolvi competências na área da formação e sensibilização. Na UCI do Hospital da
Luz e SU do Hospital de Cascais, desenvolvi competências nas áreas da formação em
serviço, técnicas de comunicação, prestação de cuidados de enfermagem especializados
a doentes de médio/alto risco, dando um contributo para a investigação em serviço.
Penso que ao longo deste percurso progredi de forma contínua e autónoma,
contribuindo para o meu processo de desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional adquirindo
as competências necessárias de enfermeiro especialista, ao ser o promotor de boas
práticas, contribuindo para a melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados de Enfermagem
This report is a result of my experience in the Master Course in Vocational Nursing Nature of UCP in the medical-surgical specialty, to obtain the title of Specialist Nurse, and it reveals the culmination of all learning, reflection and acquisition of skills developed throughout the academic module of the internship. The clinical practice was developed in three different modules: ICC, ICU and A&E. The issue of Infection was addressed in all of them, since it is a crucial problem which requires great attention from health professionals as it is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, which increases the length and cost of the patients’ stay. The clinical practice took place in ICC CHLN, where I developed skills in training, awareness and research in the ICU of the Hospital da Luz and the A&E in Cascais Hospital where I developed skills in the areas of research, in-service training, communication xxxx and skilled nursing care to medium / high risk patients, having contributed to the service investigation. I think that throughout this process I progressed continuously and independently contributing to my personal and professional development by acquiring the necessary skills of a Specialist Nurse, which will allow me to enforce best practices and be committed to improving the quality of nursing care
