Resumo(s)
Objective: to assess the experience of persons with critical condition during hospitalization in an intensive
care unit. Method: study within the qualitative paradigm using a phenomenological descriptive approach. The
phenomenological approach allowed accessing the reports about the experience of twelve participants who
agreed to be interviewed. Results: the essential structure that reflects the nature of the experience of
persons with critical condition during hospitalization in an intensive care unit consists of three components:
feeling trapped – the loss of control over the body; between life and death; and the need for security.
Conclusion: it is an experience of suffering, felt in a unique and singular manner. Waking up in the intensive
care unit was scary and hopeless. The existence is compromised; life and death are a constant. These persons
need to feel secure, valuing the immediate care provided by the nurses. The family represents a safe haven.
