ABSTRACT
Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, descritiva e exploratória de abordagem qualitativa, realizada na unidade pediátrica de um hospital universitário do Norte do Paraná, cujo objetivo foi analisar a percepção do acompanhante quanto à precaução de contato. Participaram vinte acompanhantes e o instrumento para coleta de dados foi composto por duas partes: a primeira destinada à obtenção de dados sociais do acompanhante e a segunda a questões norteadoras sobre a temática. Após a análise dos dados, em que se utilizou o método de interpretação dos sentidos composto por três etapas distintas, emergiram quatro categorias: "Orientações sobre a precaução de contato aos acompanhantes"; "Entendimento sobre a utilidade da precaução de contato"; "Dificuldades e facilidades na utilização da precaução de contato" e "Sentimentos em relação à vivência". A maioria demonstrou não entender a utilidade da prática e as dificuldades maiores foram relacionadas ao desconforto físico e mudança na rotina. Sentimentos como constrangimento, preconceito e humilhação foram associados à vivência. Há necessidade de aperfeiçoamento das informações fornecidas, melhor supervisão da utilização correta da paramentação e suporte emocional para as acompanhantes pelos profissionais de saúde.
This is a descriptive, exploratory and qualitative fieldwork conducted at the pediatric unit of a university hospital in northern Paraná. The purpose was to analyze the perception of people accompanying hospitalized children in regards to contact precaution. Twenty individuals participated and the instrument used for data collection had two parts: the first part was directed at obtaining the accompanying person Ìs social data; and the second one contained guiding questions on the topic. After analyzing the data in which the method of interpretation of the senses was used, consisting of three distinct steps, four categories emerged: "Instructions about contact precautions to accompanying persons"; "Understanding the usefulness of contact precautions"; "Difficulties and easy aspects of using contact precautions" and "Feelings in relation to the experience". The majority demonstrated that they did not understand the usefulness of this practice, and the main difficulties were related to physical discomfort and changes in routine. Feelings such as embarrassment, humiliation and prejudice were associated with experience. It is necessary to improve the information provided, regarding the correct use of apparel, and the emotional support offered to accompanying persons by health professionals.
