- Abstract
Objective: to analyze how intensive care nurses practice patient advocacy in view of the need for hospitalization by court order to an intensive care due to bed unviability. Method: analytical exploratory qualitative research. Data were obtained through interviews with 42 nurses, selected via snowball sampling, between January and December 2016. The interviews were analyzed using elements of the Discursive Textual Analysis. Results: two categories emerged: 1) Between obedience to the law and the ethical-moral duty of the intensive care nurse; 2) The position of nurses in the practice of patient advocacy for patients requiring intensive care beds. Conclusions: intensive care nurses exercise sensitivity and moral duty of the care process when defending their patients by informing them of their rights, guiding, acting and talking to and on behalf of patients and their families, valuing care free of judgment and harm to the patient hospitalized by court order.
