THE COPING EMOTIONAL PROFESSIONAL NURSING IN PATIENT CARE IN THE PROCESS OF LIFE TERMINALITY

Abstract

This is a bibliographic, descriptive review of qualitative nature, whose objectives were to: Understand the feelings of nursing professionals across the ill patient in the process of end of life; Discuss the reasons why they adopt certain postures (removal or approximation) on the situation and discuss the implications of this lack of preparation or staging professional in patient care in the process of dying. The database Lilacs and Bireme was used, considering the publications from 2002-2012.After analysis of the items three categories emerged: Feelings of nursing professionals across the ill patient in the process of Terminality; Attitudes of nurses towards the patient in a terminal process; Implications of preparation or lack of preparation in professional nursing care to patients in the dying process. Upon review, we observed that some nurses are not prepared emotionally to deal with the patient morrente such unpreparedness reflects the care provided, so that this professional most often assumes a posture of taking the patient and family.
