ANTUNES, Suse; MENDES, Anabela  e  SILVA, Elisabete. Nursing Interventions to Empower the Person in Critical Situation: Integrative Literature Review. NTQR [online]. 2021, vol.8, pp.374-382.  Epub 22-Dez-2021. ISSN 2184-7770.  https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.8.2021.374-382.

The Person in Critical Situation (PCS) is, by definition, someone dependent on intensive and technological care. Nurses find that people who live in this transition process lose relevant abilities, such as self-care and decision-making. This work has as main objectives: (1) To identify the factors that influence the training of the person in critical situation and (2) To identify the nursing interventions that empower the PCS. An integrative literature review was conducted, with research of articles in MEDLINE and CINAHL databases and grey literature. Once applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles for analysis and discussion emerged. A set of factors that due to their relevance influence the empowerment of the PCS was identified. The Nursing Interventions that empower the PCS are: to help the person to accept dependence on self-care and to manage expectations; enhance confidence and motivation for individualization of care and symptom management; promote effective communication with sick people and family throughout the transition process; subsidize the management of available resources (personal, social and community), which enable the return to everyday life; and assume the family as a partner in care. It is concluded that the nursing therapeutic interventions that empower the PCS, are part of a centered-care on the client, person in critical situation and family.
