Resumo

A internação de um ente querido em uma unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) geralmente ocorre de forma inesperada, afetando negativamente a saúde mental dos familiares. As diretrizes internacionais para cuidados centrados na família na UTI propõem intervenções destinadas a mitigar esse impacto emocional, embora as evidências que as sustentam ainda sejam limitadas. A enfermagem, como disciplina, tem um papel fundamental na geração de conhecimento que permita validar e sustentar práticas de humanização destinadas a mitigar a carga emocional que os familiares experimentam na UTI.
