The objective of this quantitative, correlational and descriptive study was to analyze the time the nursing staff spends to assist patients in Adult Intensive Care Units, as well as to verify its correlation with quality care indicators. The average length of time spent on care and the quality care indicators were identified by consulting management instruments the nursing head of the Unit employs. The average hours of nursing care delivered to patients remained stable, but lower than official Brazilian agencies' indications. The correlation between time of nursing care and the incidence of accidental extubation indicator indicated that it decreases with increasing nursing care delivered by nurses. The results of this investigation showed the influence of nursing care time, provided by nurses, in the outcome of care delivery.

Background and Purpose: Quality of nursing care measurement is essential in critical care units. The aim of this study was to develop a scale to measure the quality of nursing care in intensive care units (ICUs). Methods: The 68 items of nursing care standards in critical care settings were explored in a literature review. Then, 30 experts evaluated the items’ content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR). Items with a low CVI score (<0.78) and low CVR score (<0.33) were removed from the scale. Results: The 50 items remained in the scale. The Scale level-CVI and Scale level-CVR were 0.898 and 0.725, respectively. Conclusion: The nursing care scale in ICU (Quality of Nursing Care Scale-ICU) that was developed in this research had acceptable CVI and CVR.

The technical and physical care of the critically ill patient has been perfected, but the psychological aspects of intensive nursing care have to a greater or lesser extent been neglected. The objective of this article is to highlight the causes of psychological problems in an intensive care unit, how to recognise these problems and above all how to prevent or correct them.

Método: trata-se de revisão integrativa, nas bases de dados LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE e IBECS, em que se selecionaram artigos publicados em português, inglês e espanhol, disponíveis na íntegra, entre 2006 a outubro de 2016. Empregaram-se os descritores “Cuidados de Enfermagem”, “Tecnologia” e “Unidades de Terapia Intensiva”. Empregou-se a análise descritiva dos estudos. Resultados: selecionaram-se treze artigos para a análise que mostraram algumas perspectivas relacionadas ao uso das tecnologias do cuidar envolvendo o distanciamento versus a aproximação do cliente, a dependência do maquinário e a humanização. Conclusão: considerou-se que o uso das tecnologias do cuidar em saúde, deve estar articulado para se atingir uma melhor assistência aos pacientes. As repercussões positivas e negativas atribuídas a essas tecnologias são geradas em razão do significado e do sentido atribuídos por cada profissional, em seu meio, influenciado pelo seu cotidiano.
