【 摘 要 】

This study examines those situations that are typical to the work of the nursing team in the intensive care unit, especially those that nursing teams consider stressful and are common in intensive care units in the treatment of patients being considered as potential organ or tissue donors. It is an exploratory-descriptive study, established with a qualitative approach, conducted at an Adult Intensive Care Unit. The reports revealed the fact that organ donation leads to different situations and emotions. Regarding the perception of nursing care to the potential organ donor patient, the subjects reported they did not discriminate patients when delivering care, but recognize a certain lack of self-confidence and preparation dealing with brain death. They try to minimize the effects of stressors with physical activities, social support, spirituality, or attempt to separate work from personal life.
