“…Although, in our study, the priority was given to physical needs of patients, however, this aspect of care sometimes were neglected. Price [25], Andersson et al [1] and Fingfeld-Connett [22] found out that caring grounded in its context and affected by culture of the unit and work pressures on the stuff, so, the default is attributable to heavy workload, staff shortage, and lack of knowledge regarding proper use of some technological tools, in the specific context of the present study.…”

“…Nascimento and Erdemann [2] stated that caring makes a sense of harmony between self and the environment, in care provider and the person who received it.

These findings are consistent with our study participants' explanations.…”

“…Caring is an interpersonal interaction that is part of being human (Finfgeld-Connet, 2008; McCormack & McCance, 2010), and the professional’s main responsibility in encounters with patients and their families is to be caring. However, such caring may be constrained by nurses’ own insecurities and perceptions of older people’s attitudes towards death; nurses might avoid discussing existential issues and death in an effort to avoid reinforcing a patient’s feeling of hopelessness (Udo, Danielson, & Melin-Johansson, 2012).…”

Purpose: Existential loneliness is part of being human that is little understood in health care, but, to provide good care to their older patients, professionals need to be able to meet their existential concerns. The aim of this study was to explore health care professionals’ experiences of their encounters with older people they perceive to experience existential loneliness. Method: We conducted 11 focus groups with 61 health professionals working in home care, nursing home care, palliative care, primary care, hospital care, or pre-hospital care. Our deductive–inductive analytical approach used a theoretical framework based on the work of Emmy van Deurzen in the deductive phase and an interpretative approach in the inductive phase. Results: The results show that professionals perceived existential loneliness to appear in various forms associated with barriers in their encounters, such as the older people’s bodily limitations, demands and needs perceived as insatiable, personal shield of privacy, or fear and difficulty in encountering existential issues. Conclusion: Encountering existential loneliness affected the professionals and their feelings in various ways, but they generally found the experience both challenging and meaningful.

Objetivo: describir las categorías que hacen parte de los factores causales de un esquema teórico que emergió durante la investigación: Conviviendo con la ambivalencia en las interacciones de cuidado. Método: cualitativa con enfoque en la teoría fundamentada. Se utilizaron técnicas como la observación, las entrevistas informales y formales a 20 pacientes, 19 auxiliares de enfermería y 8 enfermeras que laboran en diferentes centros quirúrgicos de segundo nivel del Valle de Aburrá. Resultados: se presentan las categorías relacionadas con los sentimientos y las emociones del paciente y del personal de enfermería al ingreso al centro quirúrgico, que hacen parte de los factores causales. Los pacientes desean la normalidad porque sienten molestias no solo físicas sino emocionales, pero también sienten ambivalencia frente al procedimiento quirúrgico. Desde el equipo de enfermería hay una disposición al cuidado porque las enfermeras se identifican en el trabajo para y con seres humanos y se responsabilizan del cuidado del paciente en este periodo. Conclusiones: el equipo de enfermería en cirugía debe estar consciente de la importancia de las dimensiones emocional, social y humana del cuidado y poner especial atención al temor y la ansiedad a los cuales están expuestos los pacientes; por tanto, el cuidado humano en este escenario es vital al ver al otro como un sujeto de atención en su contexto, con sus creencias y valores, aceptándolo tal cual es.
