摘要
Objective: The study's goal has been to both analyze and describe the meanings associated with care and intensive care unit, and its implications for self-caring by relatives of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Methods: It is a descriptive research with qualitative approach, and also with theoretical-conceptual support of the Social Representations Theory, which was performed with 40 family members of patients hospitalized at an intensive care unit over the period from November 11th to 29th, 2014. Results: The testimonials were synthesized in the three following thematic units: "Intensive Care Unit: Death versus Care", "Changes in Self-Caring: The relatives of patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit" and "Care: Act of love". Conclusion: Through this research, it was possible to describe the social representations of the relatives of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit with regards to both the care and the intensive care unit, and its implications for self-caring as well.
