RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To understand the experiences in nursing care in the prevention and treatment of delirium in people hospitalized in intensive care units. METHODOLOGY: Hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative study. The selection of participants was by intentional sampling: seven nursing assistants and eight nurses. Theoretical saturation was achieved. The phenomenological interview was applied to collect data from a central question and the analysis was carried out following the approaches of Heidegger's hermeneutical circle. RESULTS: Four significant themes emerged from the analysis: (1) delirium prevention, (2) pharmacological treatment, (3) non-pharmacological treatment, and (4) barriers to non-pharmacological treatment. These themes were accompanied by 35 interrelated units of meaning: in the first theme, the most repetitive units were communication, orientation, and family bonding; in the second was the use of pharmacological treatment only in the acute phase; in the third was the modification of the environment according to the patient's preference (where the family is a priority and strategies that provide cognitive and social stimulation can be reinforced), and in the fourth was the work overload for the nursing team. CONCLUSIONS: The experiences of the nursing team in the prevention and treatment of delirium in critically ill patients highlight that communication allows an approach to the patient as a human being immersed in a reality, with a personal history, needs and preferences. Therefore, family members must be involved in these scenarios, as they can complement and support nursing care.

Objetivo:Comprender las vivencias del cuidado de enfermería frente a la prevención y el tratamiento del delirium en personas hospitalizadas en unidades de cuidados intensivos. Metodología:Estudio cualitativo fenomenológico hermenéutico. La selección de participantes fue por muestreo intencionado: 7 auxiliares de enfermería y 8 enfermeras. Se logró la saturación teórica. Se aplicó la entrevista fenomenológica para la recolección de datos a partir de una pregunta central, y el análisis se realizó siguiendo los planteamientos del círculo hermenéutico de Heidegger. Resultados: Del análisis, emergieron 4 temas significativos: 1) Prevención del delirium, 2) Tratamiento farmacológico, 3) Tratamiento no farmacológico y 4) Barreras para el tratamiento no farmacológico. Estos temas estuvieron acompañados de 35 unidades de significado vinculadas entre sí: en el primer tema, las unidades más reiterativas fueron comunicación, orientación y vinculación de la familia; en el segundo tema fue el uso de tratamiento farmacológico solo en fase aguda; en el tercer tema fue la modificación del ambiente según preferencia del paciente (donde la familia es prioritaria y permite reforzar estrategias que brinden una estimulación cognitiva y social), y en el cuarto tema fue la sobrecarga laboral para el equipo de enfermería. Conclusiones: Las experiencias del equipo de enfermería en la prevención y el tratamiento del delirium en pacientes críticos destacan que la comunicación permite un acercamiento al paciente como ser humano inmerso en una realidad, con una historia personal, con necesidades y preferencias. Por lo tanto, en estos escenarios debe vincularse su familia, ya que puede complementar y apoyar del cuidado de enfermería.(AU)
