Resumen
La humanización de los cuidados se apoya en proporcionar una atención de calidad e integral, que considere a la persona como un todo, considerando las necesidades físicas, psicológicas, sociales y emocionales, así como las necesidades de la familia, teniendo una actitud de respeto y empatía. Los profesionales sanitarios en la UCI, aprenden habilidades comunicativas, debido a que el cuidado es un beneficio para los pacientes, en el que se aporta comprensión, confidencialidad, intimidad y empatía. Los pacientes experimentan dolor, pérdida de privacidad, por lo que produce desorientación y cambios en los ritmos circadianos. Una persona en el hospital necesita ayuda, se encuentra bajo de ánimos y su vida está en peligro debido a la enfermedad que presenta, con lo cual, se debe de proteger y controlar el dolor y la enfermedad y mejorar su salud en lo que se pueda. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido identificar los cuidados enfermeros más frecuentes que se caracterizan en una unidad de cuidados intensivos humanizada. Para dar respuesta al objetivo planteado, se va a llevar a cabo una revisión narrativa-descriptiva de literatura científica existente sobre este tema, en diferentes bases de datos como: Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo, Lilacs, Cuiden Plus, Medline. Para organizar nuestros resultados, se han llevado a cabo basándonos en el Manual de Buenas Prácticas de HUCI. Los resultados obtenidos nos indican el porcentaje de cada buena práctica que se lleva a cabo en cada uno de los artículos encontrados. Como conclusión estas estrategias tienen la finalidad de proporcionar bienestar al paciente aumentando y consiguiendo el 100% en cada una de ellas, tarea difícil pero no imposible. Actualmente se va por buen camino hacia la humanización de los cuidados pero hay que seguir mejorando.
Humanizing care relies on providing high-quality, comprehensive care that considers the person holistically, taking into account their physical, psychological, social, and emotional needs, as well as the needs of their family, with an attitude of respect and empathy. Healthcare professionals in the ICU learn communication skills because care benefits patients by offering understanding, confidentiality, privacy, and empathy. Patients experience pain and loss of privacy, which can lead to disorientation and changes in their circadian rhythms. A person in the hospital needs help, is often depressed, and their life is in danger due to their illness. Therefore, it is essential to protect and manage pain and illness and improve their health as much as possible. The objective of this study was to identify the most frequent nursing care practices characteristic of a humanized intensive care unit. To address the stated objective, a narrative-descriptive review of existing scientific literature on this topic will be conducted using various databases, including PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS, Cuiden Plus, and Medline. Our results will be organized according to the HUCI Good Practice Manual. The findings indicate the percentage of each good practice implemented in each of the articles reviewed. In conclusion, these strategies aim to improve patient well-being by increasing and achieving 100% implementation in each of them—a difficult but not impossible task. While progress toward humanizing care is currently being made, further improvements are necessary.
