The Person in Critical Situation, hospitalized in a context of emergency and intensive care unit, is in a health-disease transition process. The Nurse, in an autonomous and interdependent register, emerges as a facilitating agent for the promotion of a healthy transition. Family presence is essential in providing of care. Due to the exceptional pandemic situation, the presence of the family is limited and the interaction between patient-family is conditioned. This work aims to understand nursing interventions to the person in critical situation, which prove to be facilitators, due to the distancing from the family, in an Emergency Service and in Intensive Care Unit, in a pandemic scenario. Considering the topic under analysis, an integrative literature review was conducted, supported by a research protocol, validated by an expert. The research was carried out in the MEDLINE and CINAHL databases and grey literature. Applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 24 articles were obtained for extraction and analysis. Data analysis was supported based on the Afaf Meleis’ Transitions Theory. As facilitating interventions in the transition process, emerged: the construction of communication strategies, the definition of the real and potential needs of the family and the person in critical situation and the knowledge of the experiences lived by the family in the process. It was found that, care centered on the family-person in a critical situation, subsidizes the potential of nursing interventions.
