“…Embora sejamos constantemente alertados para os perigos da sua utilização, quando usada adequadamente pode ser uma ferramenta eficaz (29), conforme ilustrado neste estudo. O uso da fotografia permitiu dar voz aos participantes, para contar a história a partir de sua própria perspetiva (30)(31)(32)(33)(34). As fotos fornecem uma forma eficaz de discutir assuntos sensíveis e complexos (18).…”

Objetivo: el presente estudio describe la utilización de Fotovoz para profundizar el concepto de familia en estudiantes de enfermería.Metodología: es un estudio de investigación acción participativa, en el que participaron 33 estudiantes de enfermería. La recolección de datos utilizó Fotovoz para definir el concepto de familia, las sesiones fueron grabadas y transcritas. Para el análisis se recurrió a la triangulación de datos con las fotografías con el software Atlas-ti versión 8.0. Resultados: cuatro temas principales surgieron de las fotografías y de las grabaciones: Concepto de familia en la perspectiva del estudiante, Mi familia, Funciones de la Familia, Lo que veo en esta fotografía.Conclusión: el estudio contribuyó a la divulgación del Fotovoz, una herramienta aún poco utilizada en estudios de enfermería. Adicionalmente, promovió la importancia de la familia en el cuidado en enfermería, por medio de la conceptualización de lo que es familia.

“…The aim was to present an overall and qualitative description of experiences of the ICU patient room as lived by patients, their close ones, and staff. 10,19,38 The methodological approaches employed were phenomenology and phenomenological-hermeneutics. The data collection (ie, qualitative research interviews) 39 took place in the actual ICU and another 2 general ICUs in order to achieve a deeper understanding of place and place as lived when critical illness is involved.…”

This article reports a Swedish research project designed to study the impact of a cyclic light system, sound absorbents, and selected interior design changes in rooms within an intensive care unit. The authors describe the limitations of many previously reported intensive care unit (ICU) design research projects, and believe that much more knowledge is needed, which reflects a multidisciplinary perspective. It is complicated to carry out intervention research in ICUs because of the condition of patients, family presence, staffing, and other issues. A combination of methodological approaches, close contact with the clinical field, secure funding, and clear communication within the multidisciplinary research team are of vital importance. The results from the authors' initial evaluation process are reported including patient interviews and data from medical records. The Medical Research Council's guideline for design and evaluation of complex interventions directed the actual project and forms the structure for this article.

“…[18][19][20][21] It is however known that nurses in a high-tech environment such as the PICU, intensive care nurses experience difficulties in creating a calm environment in which to provide good care, as the need for medical care often collides with this caring intervention. [22] This collision can be viewed as uncovering a conflict of what is accepted as most important to attend to in the caring culture surrounding the children. And as such influencing intensive care nurses' understanding of how important avoidance of undesired sounds is, to improve the children's possibility to sleep and enhance the quality of care.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the nurses' approach to three sources of sound that contribute to high noise levels; alarms, doors that open and conversation. Methods: Methods used derived from a theoretical perspective based on interpretive phenomenology and caring culture. In the pediatric intensive care, the caregivers of the children work in a high-tech environment as they are surrounded by sound from several sources. How caregivers understand and acknowledge how these sounds negatively affect a child's well-being depends on their individual knowledge and awareness of how children are affected by sound. In most cases, coming into an intensive care unit is a new experience for a child. This causes greater stress, both from the environment itself as well as from sound levels. The method was built on a phenomenological perspective and an interpretive non-participation, semi-structured observations were conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of one of Sweden's metropolitan regions in the winter of 2014-2015. Results: The results show that noise is an overlooked phenomenon in the pediatric intensive care environment as it has given way to other priorities in the nurse's work. It is also apparent that this depends on the department's caring culture as it prioritizes other things, resulting in normalizing high levels of noise as a part of the pediatric intensive care environment. Conclusions: Noise levels are not a priority in the department's caring culture. High noise levels are permitted unreflectedly and appears to be a token of potency and an accepted part of the health care environment.
