ABSTRACT

Several studies have demonstrated that non-invasive home mechanical ventilation is a therapy that brings benefits to people with type 2 respiratory failure and their family. The objective of this study is to explore the implications of non-invasive home ventilation for the user's family. An exploratory desc riptive study with quantitative qualitative nature in 10 families using noninvasive home ventilation. Mainly, they are nuclear families (8) belonging to the middle class (7). The data were collected through a semi-structured interview, with a data collection instrument that integrated sociodemographic issues and two open questions related to the participants' perspective on the implications of non-invasive home ventilation for the family. They were processed with descriptive statistics and content analysis. From the narratives, three categories emerged maladjustment, benefits and family process. They are divided into eight subcategories that describe the issues related to the use of non-invasive home ventilation discomfort, sleep impairment, silence, crisis reduction, role interaction, dynamic relationship, coping and communication. The results demonstrate that non-invasive mechanical ventilation has implications for the users ́ families, can be a stress cause, bring benefits and cause changes in the family process
