Abstract(s)
Identificar os sentimentos experienciados e as necessidades sentidas pelos adolescentes durante a hospitalização
e conhecer a representação que os adolescentes possuem de uma Unidade de Adolescentes. Métodos: investigação de
natureza qualitativa, com recurso à entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de colheita de dados, tendo participado do
estudo 21 adolescentes. Resultados: Entre os adolescentes hospitalizados, 47,8% sentiram-se bem, 26,9% sentiram dificuldade
em ocupar o tempo, 23,1% referiram tristeza/angústia inicial e 7,7% afirmaram sentirem- se presos dentro da unidade.
Salienta-se a reação negativa dos amigos. Os aspectos mais positivos da unidade são a equipe de saúde e o espaço/conforto.
As transições saúde-doença e situacional são apontadas como aspectos negativos e como situação mais complicada durante
a hospitalização, mais especificamente o regulamento de visitas, sendo estas apontadas como principal necessidade.
Os adolescentes recorrem a atividades de lazer, pessoas significativas, aos profissionais de enfermagem e ao autocontrole
para ultrapassar os momentos piores. A relação adolescente-profissionais da saúde é boa, sendo os profissionais referidos
como qualificados e sensíveis. Conclusão: A prestação de cuidados de qualidade a adolescentes hospitalizados implica um
ambiente que satisfaça as suas necessidades. Sendo os enfermeiros os profissionais que mais tempo passam junto do adolescente
hospitalizado, são os que melhor identificam os seus receios, as suas inseguranças e as dificuldades, pelo que devem
mostrar-se receptivos e sensíveis às necessidades implícitas e explícitas dos adolescentes.
To identify the feelings and needs of adolescents during hospitalization and learn their representations of a Teen Ward. Methods: Qualitative survey of 21 adolescents conducted through semi-structured interviews, used as the data collection technique. Results: 47.8% of these adolescents felt well being hospitalized, 26.9% found it hard to fill their time, 23.1% mentioned initial sadness and anguish, and 7.7% said that they felt trapped in the Ward. They stressed negative reactions among friends. The most positive aspects of the Ward are the healthcare team and the space and comfort. Situational transitions and the health-disease shift are mentioned as negative aspects and the most complicated situation during hospitalization, more specifically constraints on visitors, which are listed as the main requirement. These adolescents turned to recreational activities, significant people, the nursing staff and self-control in order to get through the bad times. Relationships between adolescents and healthcare practitioners are good, with these practitioners referred to as being qualified and sensitive. Conclusion: Providing good quality care for hospitalized adolescents requires a setting that meets their needs. As nurses spend the most time with hospitalized adolescents, they can identify their fears, insecurities and difficulties most accurately, which is why they must be receptive and sensitive to the implicit and explicit needs of these adolescents.
