Objective: to identify care interventions, performed by the health team, and their influence on the continuity of sleep of patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit. Method: descriptive study with a sample of 12 patients. A filming technique was used for the data collection. The awakenings from sleep were measured using the actigraphy method. The analysis of the data was descriptive, processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results: 529 care interventions were identified, grouped into 28 different types, of which 12 (42.8%) caused awakening from sleep for the patients. A mean of 44.1 interventions/patient/day was observed, with 1.8 interventions/patient/hour. The administration of oral medicine and food were the interventions that caused higher frequencies of awakenings in the patients. Conclusion: it was identified that the health care interventions can harm the sleep of ICU patients. It is recommended that health professionals rethink the planning of interventions according to the individual demand of the patients, with the diversification of schedules and introduction of new practices to improve the quality of sleep of Intensive Care Unit patients.
Há um desafio mundial de universalizar a linguagem e evidenciar a prática de enfermagem. A Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) está sendo desenvolvida por pesquisadores do College of Nursing – The University of Iowa, EUA, com esse propósito. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar o uso das intervenções de enfermagem da NIC no Brasil, por meio de levantamento da freqüência de utilização das 486 intervenções da NIC nas diversas especialidades clínicas dos enfermeiros brasileiros. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, realizado no período de março a julho de 2006, com amostra de 222 enfermeiros. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um instrumento aplicado pelo grupo de pesquisadores de Iowa. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizado um pacote estatístico. Um grau de concordância de 70% foi considerado aceitável e as intervenções centrais, consideradas como utilizadas diariamente ou semanalmente pelos enfermeiros foram identificadas. Os resultados mostraram que 77,7% das intervenções NIC foram identificadas como essenciais por enfermeiros de diferentes especialidades. As intervenções mais freqüentes mostram a essência da prática clínica da enfermagem no Brasil e a aplicabilidade das intervenções NIC à nossa realidade.
