- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the professional competencies of the nurse for palliative care in the Cardiology Intensive Care Unit. Method: a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study based on the theoretical reference of the Central Skills in Palliative Care and carried out at the ICU of a cardiological hospital. A semi-structured interview was conducted with eight nurses. For the interpretation of the data, the content analysis and the categorization were used. Results: nurses from 31 to 41 years old, with more than ten years of experience in the profession and with at least one postgraduate course prevailed. The most cited competences are related to the central constituents of palliative care, family, self-knowledge, professional development and physical comfort. The less-quoted categories portray psychological, spiritual, teamwork, communication, and ethical and clinical decision-making. There were no reports of social needs. The competences that were not applied, refer to the performance in the multiprofessional team, the joint decision making and the education of the professionals and the family. Conclusion: citations of competence related to care prevailed. After the recent implementation of the service, the need to strengthen the multiprofessional team and the education of nursing professionals is observed.
