Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho final de curso cujo semestre foi realizado no hospital SOSVET
Almada, no âmbito da licenciatura de Enfermagem Veterinária da Escola Superior de
Biociências de Elvas descreve as atividades desenvolvidas durante as 12 semanas de
estágio compreendidas de 18 de fevereiro a 8 de maio de 2025. O estágio em que a
aluna esteve inserida permitiu o desenvolvimento de habilidades pessoais e competências
específicas. A aluna realizou autonomamente 2830 procedimentos típicos de
enfermagem tais como análises clínicas, coletas de amostras, administração de
medicamentos, execução de pensos entre outros em 301 cães e 356 gatos, permitindo
maior experiência profissional e autonomia. O presente trabalho divide-se em duas
partes, em que a primeira parte aborda as considerações éticas no maneio da dor e
sofrimento em animais de companhia, e como esta tem a função de promover o bem-
estar e a qualidade de vida dos animais, de uma perspetiva além da técnica. Destaca-se
as responsabilidades do enfermeiro veterinário (EV) na garantia do bem-estar dos
pacientes, apelando a uma abordagem holística, considerando os princípios de bem-estar,
na minimização de dor e o sofrimento dos pacientes e na tomada de decisão ética na
gestão da dor. A segunda parte abrange a descrição das atividades desenvolvidas em
contexto de estágio curricular, apresentado os dados estatísticos referentes ao ambiente
clínico e tarefas realizadas, um caso clínico com enfoque no reconhecimento da dor no
cão e as abordagens multimodais utilizadas no tratamento, e o resultado de um
questionário acerca da utilização da ética num meio clínico por EVs. A ética veterinária,
combinada com conhecimentos científicos guia o maneio da dor e sofrimento em animais
de companhia, com o EV a desempenhar um papel essencial na garantia do bem-estar
animal e na tomada de decisões clínicas responsáveis.
The present final course work, whose semester was carried out at the SOSVET Almada hospital, within the scope of the degree in Veterinary Nursing at the School of Biosciences of Elvas, describes the activities developed during the 12 weeks of internship from February 18 to May 8, 2025. The internship in which the student was inserted allowed the development of personal skills and specific competencies. The student autonomously performed 2830 typical nursing procedures such as clinical analyses, sample collection, medication administration, execution of dressings, among others, in 301 dogs and 356 cats, allowing greater professional experience and autonomy This project is divided into two parts. The first part addresses ethical considerations in the management of pain and suffering in companion animals, and how ethics play a role in promoting animal welfare and quality of life, from a perspective that goes beyond technical aspects. It highlights the responsibilities of the veterinary nurse (VN) in ensuring patient well-being, advocating for a holistic approach that considers the principles of animal welfare, the minimization of pain and suffering, and ethical decision-making in pain management. The second part includes a description of the activities carried out during the clinical internship, presenting statistical data related to the clinical setting and the tasks performed, a clinical case focusing on pain recognition in dogs and the multimodal approaches used in treatment, and the results of a questionnaire on the application of ethics in clinical settings by VN ́s. Veterinary ethics, combined with scientific knowledge, guide the management of pain and suffering in companion animals, with VN playing a key role in ensuring animal welfare and making responsible clinical decisions.
