“…Among these related factors, the effect of the acquisition of knowledge and skills has been investigated in numerous studies. However, there have been few studies on nurses' work environment or their individual background characteristics, and some of these previous findings have been inconsistent [13] [14]. On the other hand, there are many studies on relationship between life events or stress and nursing practice [15] [16] [17].…”

The aim of this study was to clarify the attitudes of nurses working in medical facilities towards family nursing and the related factors. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used. The study period was from December 2017 to February 2018. 638 nurses with more than 5 years clinical experience were recruited from seven medical facilities. The questionnaire included the Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes (FINC-NA), the Family Sense of Coherence (FSOC), and items on nursing practice ability, job satisfaction, and background characteristics. A multiple regression analysis with FINC-NA as the dependent variable and a path analysis of nursing practice ability as the dependent variable were performed. Responses from 416 nurses (effective response rate, 65.2%) were analyzed. Variables that were significantly related to FINC-NA (p < 0.05) were nursing practice ability, FSOC, job satisfaction, family nursing learning experience, presence of a partner and experience in family nursing. Multiple regression analysis with FINC-NA as the dependent variable revealed significant regression coefficients for nursing practice ability, FSOC and job satisfaction.

“…Num estudo português que avaliou a importância dos familiares nos cuidados de enfermagem (Fernandes, Gomes, Martins, & Gonçalves, 2015), o serviço de urgência obteve uma pontuação menor relativamente a outros serviços no que respeita à atitude dos enfermeiros pela importância da presença da família. Os mesmos autores referiram que os dados obtidos sobre o serviço de urgência poderiam estar relacionados com a complexidade do contexto de trabalho.…”

ResumoEnquadramento: A presença de familiares no serviço de urgência é uma realidade. Em algumas situações como as de emergência a presença de familiares é algo controverso para os enfermeiros. Objetivos: Conhecer a opinião dos enfermeiros sobre a presença de familiares em situações de emergência no serviço de urgência de adultos. Metodologia: Estudo exploratório descritivo, recorrendo-se à aplicação de um questionário numa amostragem por conveniência. A amostra foi constituída por 233 enfermeiros dos 4 serviços de urgência polivalentes da região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. Resultados: Verifica-se que a maioria dos enfermeiros não concorda com a presença de familiares em contextos de emergência. Destacam-se como vantagens, o fornecimento de informação clínica à equipa e o apoio ao doente, e como desvantagens, a ansiedade dos familiares e o aumento do stresse nos profissionais. Conclusão: Os enfermeiros têm uma opinião desfavorável à presença da família em situações de emergência. Seria importante refletir sobre a prática clínica na sala de reanimação considerando-se o F de família após a prestação dos cuidados de emergência segundo o ABCDE. Palavras-chave: família; ressuscitação; enfermeiros; serviço hospitalar de emergência AbstractBackground: Family presence in the emergency department is a reality. However, in some situations, namely emergency situations, family presence is a controversial issue for nurses. Objectives: To identify nurses' opinions about family presence in emergency situations in adult emergency departments. Methodology: A descriptive exploratory study was conducted using a questionnaire in a convenience sample. The sample consisted of 233 nurses from four multipurpose emergency departments in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley region. Results: Most nurses in the study do not agree with family presence in emergency settings. Some of the identified advantages included the provision of clinical information to the team and patient support, whereas the disadvantages related to family anxiety and increased stress for professionals. Conclusion: Nurses have an unfavorable opinion about family presence in emergency situations. It would be important to reflect on the clinical practices in the resuscitation room so that the F for family can be included after the ABCDE approach to emergency care delivery.

“…Furthermore, in Portugal, nursing evolution was in line with the theory's development, from the perspective of the legal regulation of the professional practice and the evolution seen in education. However, in spite of scientific evidence and support instruments to professional practice, nurses' attitudes and practice toward patients and families show the distance between the models presented in nursing theory and professional practice models used in practice contexts (1) .…”

“…In addition, the care context in hospitals has changed significantly in recent years. Population aging and its inherent problems, such as chronic diseases and physical disabilities, have increased and gradually deepened the need for health care, whose fulfilment is not related to the disease already diagnosed, nor the medical treatment already prescribed, but to the nursing care provided in the transition process level experienced by individuals, whether patients or families (1,7) .…”

“…In this context, despite the need for the maximum competence of nurses in the face of their collaborative role with the medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, care needs perceived by professionals or expressed by individuals, patients, or families, increasingly lead to the nursing practice presented in theoretical models (1,4,7) . However, in an institution where the main objective is still the treatment of diseases, the acknowledgment of the high range of nursing practices represented an important encouragement for the development of the present study.…”

Objective: To analyze the professional practice models used by nurses in the hospital context. Method: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out in 19 hospitals with 56 nurses. Data collection was carried out by means of a semi-structured interview. Results: The following categories emerged from analysis: a practice focused on the management of signs and symptoms, where the biomedical model, prevention of complications, and early detection of signs and symptoms of clinical worsening stood out, and a practice based on patients' human responses, emphasizing health promotion, self-care promotion, autonomy reconstruction, functional rehabilitation, patients' training, preparation to return home, and facilitation of transitions. Final considerations: In spite of the evolution seen in some contexts, a distance between the models practiced and those presented is still found, which indicates the need for changes ensuring structuring and systematization of the professional practice.
