ResumoOs transplantes de órgãos obtiveram êxito no século XX passando a ser o último recurso terapêutico na tentativa de manutenção da vida. Assim, a doação de órgãos é indispensável para a promoção do transplante, entretanto esse processo é permeado por conflitos morais e éticos. Pretendeu-se com este texto discorrer sobre os conflitos éticos no processo de doação de órgão para transplante a partir da perspectiva do profissional enfermeiro que trabalha na captação de órgãos para transplante. Trata-se de um texto reflexivo, delineado a partir dos resultados da dissertação da autora e de sua vivência como enfermeira em uma Organização de Procura de Órgãos. Os enfermeiros que promovem a doação de órgãos para transplante consideram que seu trabalho é difícil, marcado por diversos conflitos, relacionados: ao significado da morte, ao significado da doação de órgãos, por estar com a família do doador e por cuidar do doador. Estar com a família do doador é um dos momentos mais difíceis, na opinião dos enfermeiros, sendo uma experiência complexa por vivenciar a dor, o sofrimento e a morte. Os enfermeiros, ao desempenharem seu papel profissional e tomarem contato com a dor dos familiares, reconhecem sua vulnerabilidade e buscam preservar-se. Concluiu-se que os profissionais que vivenciam os conflitos existenciais e morais no processo de doação de órgãos necessitam resignificar o sentido do seu trabalho, por meio de um processo de autoconhecimento para saber lidar com o significado da morte, sofrimento e a dor da perda. Os serviços necessitam criar espaços de partilha entre os profissionais e incentivar que eles busquem atendimento individualizado se for de sua preferência. Palavras-Chave:Atitude Frente a Morte.

This text aims to discuss the ethical conflicts in the process of organ donation for transplant from the perspective of the professional nurse who works in searching for organ donors. It is a reflexive text, delineated from the results of the author's dissertation and her experience as a nurse in an Organ Searching Organization. Nurses who promote organ donation for transplant consider that their job is difficult, marked by many conflicts related to the meaning of death and the meaning of organ donation, due to being with the donor's family and for taking care of the donor. Being with the donor's family is one of the most difficult times in nurses' opinion, is a complex experience as they experience pain, suffering and death. Nurses in the execution of their professional role have contact with the pain of family members, recognize their vulnerability and seek to preserve themselves. The conclusion was that professionals who experience existential and moral conflicts during the organ donation process nee...

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines labor violence as any act or incident of a voluntary nature of the aggressor, with the purpose of physically, verbally or sexually harassing a professional during his or her working period. The Adult Intensive Care Unit (AICU) is an environment that exposes the worker to occupational hazards. National and international studies point to violence at work as one more risk factor. This study aimed to identify the occurrence of violence in the work place suffered and witnessed by nurse employees (technicians and nurses), in the AICU. This was an exploratory study with a quantitative approach. Nursing professionals working in the AICU participated in the study. The invitation was sent through social media, participants responded to an online form. The result was the participation of 359 nursing professionals, of whom 62.95% were nurses and 37.05% were nurse technicians. Considering the types of violence, verbal violence was the most prevalent, suffered by 73.25% and witnessed by 69.91% of professionals. Physical violence was experienced by 25.35% of the participants and was witnessed by 45.40%. Sexual harassment was experienced by 13.25% and witnessed by 13.92%. It is concluded that 93.32% of the interviewed nursing professionals suffered and/or witnessed violence in their work environment, which is a staggering result, and this demonstrates the urgency to implement preventive measures to reduce violence to the health employee.
