“…They value feeling connected to their loved ones, witnessing their loved ones being well cared for and treated as a person, and sharing stories of a patient’s legacy with healthcare staff. 13,14,16,21,23 Staff have described the experience of virtual visiting as “surprisingly intimate and rewarding,” finding that it fosters a deeper connection with and recognition of the person in the bed 14 ; other staff report it being a “profoundly powerful experience.” 13 In the National UK Study, 68% perceived virtual visiting as improving staff morale. 12…”

“…We see variation in the type and set up of device used for virtual visiting (from mobile devices held by staff or mounted to stands, to existing bedside computers with mounted cameras, to existing telecritical care systems), the number and availability of devices used within units (from one device per patient, to one or a small handful of devices shared across the unit or hospital), and the manner in which virtual visiting is coordinated and facilitated (from a communication team often consisting of additional staff, to a re-purposed telecritical care coordination center, to bedside nurses). 13- 23…”

Few challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic strike at the very core of our humanity as the inability of family to sit at the bedside of their loved ones when battling for their lives in the ICU. Virtual visiting is one tool to help deal with this challenge. When introducing virtual visiting into our ICU, we identified 5 criteria for a sustainable system that aligned with patient-family-centered care: virtual visiting needed to (1) simulate open and flexible visiting; (2) be able to accommodate differences in family size, dynamics, and cultural practices; (3) utilize a video conferencing platform that is private and secure; (4) be easy to use and not require special teams to facilitate meetings; and (5) not increase the workload of ICU staff. There is a growing body of literature demonstrating a global movement toward virtual visiting in ICU, however there are no publications that describe a system which meet all 5 of our criteria. Importantly, there are no papers describing systems of virtual visiting which mimic open and flexible family presence at the bedside. We were unable to find any off-the-shelf video conferencing platforms that met all our criteria. To come up with a solution, a multidisciplinary team of ICU staff partnered with healthcare technology adoption consultants and two technology companies to develop an innovative system called HowRU. HowRU uses the video conferencing platform Webex with the integration of some newly designed software that automates many of the laborious and complex processes. HowRU is a cloud based, supported, and simplified system that closely simulates open and flexible visiting while ensuring patient and family privacy, dignity, and security. We have demonstrated the transferability of HowRU by implanting it into a second ICU. HowRU is now commercially available internationally. We hope HowRU will improve patient-family-centered care in ICU.

“…Como uma forma de amenizar o sofrimento do paciente e da família, muitos profissionais de saúde utilizaram de seus próprios aparelhos tecnológicos para que a comunicação entre o paciente e seus familiares acontecesse. Neste sentido, a partir de diversas experiências observadas pelos profissionais, nota-se o quanto que esta interação possibilitou aos pacientes e seus familiares, apoiarem uns aos outros durante o processo de hospitalização (Rios et al, 2020). (2019), os atendimentos aconteciam no período da tarde, a todos os familiares dos pacientes que estavam em isolamento, quando eram repassadas informações não-médicas, como uma estratégia de ajudar a família a lidar com a ansiedade em relação ao boletim médico.…”

A pandemia da COVID-19 iniciou-se em dezembro de 2019 na China. Desde então, tem se alastrado por diversos países. Neste cenário pandêmico, a atuação dos(das) profissionais de psicologia têm sido imprescindível durante o tratamento. Este estudo teve como objetivo geral verificar as intervenções em psicologia hospitalar durante a pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil. Para o alcance dos objetivos traçados, este estudo delimita-se como uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura (RIL). A coleta de dados ocorreu no período de fevereiro a abril de 2021, nas bases de dados Google acadêmico, BVSPSI (Biblioteca Virtual de Psicologia), PePSIC (Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia), LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde) e Periódicos Capes. Os descritores e os operadores booleanos foram: psicologia hospitalar AND intervenções AND COVID-19 AND Brasil; psicologia AND hospital AND COVID-19 AND Brasil. Dessa forma, 22 estudos foram coletados. Após a leitura crítica dos títulos e resumos dos estudos 8 artigos foram selecionados e lidos na íntegra. Após este processo, todos foram utilizados na amostra final desta pesquisa. Os resultados demonstram que as intervenções foram voltadas aos pacientes e seus familiares como também aos profissionais de saúde. As principais intervenções foram: atendimento psicológico por telefone e presencial, atividades lúdicas, como também atividades psicoeducativas. Os objetivos deste estudo foram alcançados. Contudo, com uma limitação relacionada a ausência de produções acerca desta temática, sendo que, os poucos estudos publicados são do tipo relato de experiência. Neste sentido, considera-se relevante a realização de novos estudos.
