Abstract(s)
Recognizing feelings experienced in approaching a critical patient (CP), prepares us
to learn about what we feel and experience in such situations.
Objective: To know the level of training in emotional education (EE) of health professionals who
interact with CP and to recognize how (through words and expressions) health professionals are
aware of the type of feelings that invade them after approach to CP.
Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive study, through the application of a questionnaire, prepared
for this purpose and applied on-line in a sample "snowball". The sample is composed of 4 types of
health professionals (doctors, nurses, diagnostic and therapeutic technicians and operational
assistants) working in differentiated care units, in interaction with the CP, aged between 25-29
(5.6%) and 55-59 years old (2.8%), 28.2% male and 71.8% female, with a bachelors degree (66,
2%), master's degree (28.2%) and PhD (1.4%). Of this sample, 54.3% had specific training to
approach CP and 45.7% did not.
Results: Results show that 4,9% have EE training, in opposed to 95,1% that do not have.
Preliminary results about the level of awareness of the type of feelings that invade them, the
majority of the sample, 66.7% said “...for me, of course, I remember exactly what I felt throughout
the process”. The remaining sample expresses some gaps, 33.3% “... when I talk to someone (ex:
colleague, friend) about this episode”, 4.9%, “... I know I felt feelings, but I can not say which or
how”, 3.7%, “... I do not remember anything” and 1.2% “... only after some time (1 to 6 months) I
remember what I felt”
Conclusions: The fact that there are 9.8% of professionals unable to conscientiously realize what
they have lived, makes EE and social emotional learning relevant.
