“…In 1995, there were two articles written by nurses in the United States, both related to the intensive care area. Later publications having nurses as authors or collaborators in other countries, such as United Kingdom, New Zealand, Brazil, Greece, Taiwan and Northern Ireland, have emerged (9) . The presence of another two articles occurred, published by Brazilian nurses, the first in 2005 and the most recent in 2009.…”

RESUMOO objetivo é propor a Lógica Fuzzy para reconhecimento de padrões de conforto de pessoas submetidas a uma tecnologia de cuidar em Enfermagem por apresentarem pênfigo vulgar, uma doença cutâneo-mucosa rara que acomete principalmente adultos. A proposta aplicável em métodos experimentais com sujeitos submetidos à comparação quali-quantitativa (taxonomia/pertinência) do padrão de conforto antes e depois da intervenção. Requer o registro em escala cromática correspondente à intensidade de cada atributo: dor; mobilidade e comprometimento da autoimagem. As regras Fuzzy estabelecidas pela máquina de inferência definem o padrão de conforto em desconforto máximo, mediano e mínimo, traduzindo a eficácia dos cuidados de Enfermagem. Apesar de pouco utilizada na área de Enfermagem, essa lógica viabiliza pesquisas sem dimensionamento a priori do número de sujeitos em função da estimação de parâmetros populacionais. Espera-se avaliação do padrão de conforto do cliente com pênfigo diante da tecnologia aplicada de forma personalizada, conduzindo a avaliação global. DESCRITORES Cuidados de enfermagem Dermatologia Pênfigo Lógica Fuzzy ABSTRACTThe objective was to propose the use of Fuzzy Logic for recognition of comfort patterns in people undergoing a technology of nursing care because of pemphigus vulgaris, a rare mucocutaneous disease that affects mainly adults. The proposal applied experimental methods, with subjects undergoing a qualitative-quantitative comparison (taxonomy/relevance) of the comfort patterns before and after the intervention. A record of a chromatic scale corresponding to the intensity of each atribute was required: pain, mobility and impaired self-image. The Fuzzy rules established by an inference engine set the standard for comfort in maximum, median and minimum discomfort, reflecting the effectiveness of nursing care. Although rarely used in the area of nursing, this logic enabled viable research without a priori scaling of the number of subjects depending on the estimation of population parameters. It is expected to evaluate the pattern of comfort in the client with pemphigus, before the applied technology, in a personalized way, leading to a comprehensive evaluation.

“…Fuzzy sets theory was developed based on the concept of partially true values, ranging from ‘completely true’ to ‘completely false’, limits of the classical logic. Fuzzy systems, using fuzzy sets theory, have been applied with success in several health areas, such as: diagnostic systems [6,7,8], treatment of images [9], quality of life evaluation [10], epidemiology and public health [1,11,12]. …”
