Abstract OBJECTIVE Understanding the meanings attributed by family caregivers of children in hospital environments about their interactions with nursing professionals. METHODS This qualitative study used Symbolic Interactionism as a theoretical reference and Grounded Theory as the methodological framework. It was carried out in a Pediatrics Center in southern Brazil, in the first half of 2013. Participants were 15 family caregivers of hospitalized children. Data were collected through interviews and submitted to open and axial analysis. RESULTS Interactions with the nursing team enable family to trust or distrust in the provided child care and to positively evaluate the care received. CONCLUSION Interactions between family members and the nursing team contribute to the significance attributed by the family to the nursing care received by the child. Nurses should be aware of the attitudes of the nursing team regarding the child and their family, prioritizing humanized care.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the meanings assigned by family caregivers about children’s chronic disease diagnosis. Methods: qualitative study, which used as theoretical framework the Symbolic Interactionism, and methodological, the Grounded Theory. It was held in a pediatric unit in Southern Brazil, in 2016, through interviews submitted to open and axial analysis, with the participation of 20 family caregivers of hospitalized children. Results: relatives, interacting with the nursing/health staff, perceive children’s disease at birth. They are diagnosed with chronic disease by the physician and deny it. Subsequently, they accept and seek information on care. Conclusions: the results pointed out the stages that relatives experience by assigning meanings to about children’s chronic disease diagnosis. These meanings provide subsidies for nurses’ actions, which need to be aware of children’s and family’s needs in order to offer comprehensive and humanized care.

RESUMEN Objetivo: describir el significado que construye el cuidador familiar de personas en situación de enfermedad crónica acerca del personal de enfermería en el ámbito hospitalario. Materiales y métodos: estudio cualitativo con enfoque etnográfico. Se realizaron catorce entrevistas y cincuenta horas de observación participante. Los participantes fueron los cuidadores familiares de los pacientes hospitalizados en el servicio de medicina interna en dos instituciones de la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia). El análisis se hizo a partir de la lectura de los relatos, las observaciones y las notas de campo; se realizó análisis línea a línea, que permitió la codificación de la información; los relatos se agruparon en categorías y subcategorías. Resultados: el significado que construye el cuidador familiar de personas con enfermedad crónica acerca del personal de enfermería en el hospital parte de considerar la enfermería como un oficio duro y de vocación, donde se identifica como actores a la jefe (enfermera) y a la enfermera (auxiliar de enfermería), cada una con características propias de su hacer, saber y ser por las cuales las diferencian, y con quienes establecen relaciones cercanas o lejanas. Conclusiones: los cuidadores familiares identifican al personal de enfermería de acuerdo con ciertas características, asumiendo que el profesional de enfermería posee conocimientos, estatus y poder, alejado del cuidador y del paciente. Por su parte, el auxiliar de enfermería es percibido como alguien cercano, con quien se puede interactuar y resolver situaciones. Independientemente del rol desempeñado, los enfermeros(as) señalan una sobrecarga laboral que les hace difícil interactuar con el cuidador familiar. PALABRAS CLAVE: enfermeros, cuidadores, hospitalización, jerarquía social, investigación cualitativa.Significance built by family caregivers about the nursing staff ABSTRACTObjective: to describe the significance that family caregiver builds in a situation of chronic disease about the nursing staff in the hospital field. Materials and methods: a qualitative study with ethnographic focus. Fourteen interviews and fifty hours of participant observation were performed. The participants were family caregivers of hospitalized patients in the service of internal medicine in two institutions in Medellin (Colombia). The analysis was done based on the reading of reports, observations, and field notes; Line by line analysis was done, which allowed the codification of the information, and the reports were grouped in categories and subcategories. Results: the significance that the family caregiver builds in people with chronic diseases about the nursing staff in the hospital, starts from considering nursing as a difficult job and vocation, where individual roles of the boss (nurse) and nurse (nursing assistant) are identified, each one with their own working characteristics of doing, knowing, and being, for which both nurses are differentiated, and with whom nurses establish close and distant relationships. Conclusions: the family caregivers identify the nursing staff according to certain categories, assuming that the nursing professional has knowledge, status, and power, away from the caregiver and the patient; the nursing assistant, is recognized as someone close, with whom the professional can interact and solve situations. Independently of the role performed, the nurses, indicate a work overload that makes it difficult to interact with the caregiver. KEYWORDS: nurses, caregivers, hospitalization , hierarchy, social , qualitative research. Significado construído pelos cuidadores familiares sobre a equipe de enfermagem        RESUMOObjetivo: descrever o significado que construa o cuidador familiar de pessoas em situação de doença crónica, sobre a equipe de enfermagem no ambiente hospitalar.

Os participantes foram os cuidadores familiares dos pacientes hospitalizados no serviço de medicina interna em duas instituições da cidade de Medellín (Colômbia). A análise foi feita a partir da descrição das histórias, as observações e as anotações de campo; se realizou análise linha a linha, que permitiu a codificação da informação, e as histórias se agruparam em categorias e subcategorias. Resultados: o significado que estabeleça o cuidador familiar de pessoas com doença crónica sobre a equipe de enfermagem no hospital, parte de considerar a enfermagem como um trabalho pesado e de vocação, onde é identifica como atores à chefe (enfermeira) e à enfermeira (auxiliar de enfermagem), cada uma com características próprias de seu saber, saber fazer e saber ser, pelas quais as diferenciam, e com quem estabelecem relações próximas ou distantes. Conclusões: os cuidadores familiares identificam à equipe de enfermagem de acordo com certas características, assumindo que o professional de enfermagem possui conhecimentos, status e poder, longe do cuidador e do paciente. Por sua parte, o auxiliar de enfermagem, é percebido como alguém próximo, com quem você pode interatuar e resolver situações. Independentemente do papel desempenhado, os enfermeiros (as), apontam uma sobrecarga de trabalho, o que faz com que seja difícil para interagir com o cuidador familiar.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: enfermeiros, cuidadores, hospitalização, hierarquia social, pesquisa qualitativa.

Background Partnerships between family and nursing staff in nursing homes are essential to address residents’ needs and wishes. Collaboration is needed to create partnerships; nonetheless, challenges exist. Aim This study aimed to gain insights into the experiences of families collaborating with staff. Method Semi-structured interviews were held with 30 family caregivers of nursing home residents with dementia. Findings Data reflected three themes, which shaped collaboration with staff from families’ perspective, ‘communication’, ‘trust and dependency’ and ‘involvement’. Discussion Good communication appeared to be a requisite condition for having trust in staff and quality of involvement in residents’ life. Good communication was described as having informal contact with staff, which enabled family and staff to build a personal connection. Consequently, this seemed to increase trust and satisfaction regarding involvement. Conclusion Findings suggest that increasing informal contact and building a personal connection should be a priority for staff in order to improve collaboration and to create partnerships with families.

People With Dementia

Background Self-management in patients and family caregivers confronted with dementia is not self-evident. Self-management skills may be limited because of the progressive cognitive decline of the patient and because family caregivers are often also very aged. Self-management support by nursing staff is therefore of paramount importance. Objectives To gain insight into how nursing staff perceive their self-management support tasks, and how they put them into practice. Research questions are: ‘What are the opinions and experiences of Dutch nursing staff working in home care or residential elderly care regarding self-management support for people with dementia and their family caregivers?' and ‘Do nursing staff feel sufficiently trained and skilled for self-management support?’. Methods A mixed methods approach was used, combining cross-sectional quantitative survey data from 206 Dutch nursing professionals with qualitative interviews among 12 nursing staff working in home care or residential elderly care in The Netherlands. Results Nursing staff working in home care experienced self-management support of people with dementia as a part of their job and as an attractive task. They consider ‘helping people with dementia to maintain control over their lives by involving them in decisions in daily care’ the essence of self-management support. Nursing staff saw family caregivers as their main partners in providing self-management support to the patient. They were less aware that family caregivers themselves might also need self-management support. Nursing staff often felt insufficiently trained to give adequate self-management support. RN’s and CNA’s did not differ in their opinions, experiences and training needs. Conclusions Nursing staff in home care do consider self-management support an important and attractive task in dementia care. Their skills for providing self-management support to patients with dementia and family caregivers need improvement. Recommendations Nursing staff need sufficient training to enable the proper provision of self-management support for people with dementia. More attention should also be given to the support of self-management for family caregivers.
