Contributos de enfermagem na prestação de cuidados ao utente em fase terminal no serviço de Medicina

Com a transição epidemiológica vivenciada em Cabo Verde (CV), relacionada com a aquisição de novos modos e hábitos de vida nomeadamente alimentação desequilibrada e o sedentarismo vêm-se constatando um aumento da incidência de pessoas a falecerem após longos anos de sofrimento provocado por uma doença crónica degenerativa. Dessa reflexão surge o presente trabalho que tem como finalidade Identificar a contribuição de enfermagem na prestação dos cuidados ao utente em fase terminal no serviço de medicina. Para melhor compreender os objetivos do trabalho em curso optou-se por um estudo de uma abordagem qualitativa, descritiva e exploratório utilizando como método de colheita de dados uma entrevista estruturada, do qual participaram sete (7) enfermeiros do serviço de Medicina. Constatou-se que, no contexto hospitalar, perante o utente em fase terminal o enfermeiro tem uma função primordial, na medida em que o profissional de saúde é que está mais próximo do utente, e tem mais possibilidades de dar apoio emocional, físico e psicológico a pessoa nessa fase difícil da sua vida, e ainda é ele que funciona como elo de ligação entre o utente, família e a equipa multidisciplinar. A Enfermagem tem em sua essência o cuidar, e quando falamos do cuidar de uma pessoa em fim de vida esse cuidar ganha uma importância significativa e individual. A pesquisa realizada enfatizou que o cuidar do utente em fase terminal terá sempre por base garantir melhor qualidade dos últimos momentos de vida do utente, e permitir-lhe uma morte digna, e é nesse contexto que o cuidar de um utente em fase terminal é denominado de cuidados paliativos, uma vez que este não tem como objetivo a cura mas sim o cuidar do utente de forma holística e na sua individualidade.
