- Abstract
Objective: to understand the perceptions of nurses specializing in nephrology regarding the skills needed to care for people with acute kidney injury. Method: qualitative study carried out with six nephrology nurses, using the focus group as a technique and the guiding question "Talk about your perceptions regarding the skills needed by nurses who care for people with acute renal failure". Audios were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and submitted to content analysis. Results: three categories emerged: pathophysiological knowledge of Acute Kidney Injury as a prevention and care strategy in pre-dialysis; operationalization and management of machines during dialysis therapy and difficulties in operationalizing care with transference of the responsibility to provide care for nursing technicians. Conclusion: knowledge about pathophysiology of acute kidney injury, skill in handling machines, intervention in complications, accurate analysis of exams, care with nutritional aspects and handling of catheters are the main skills required for operational care. However, the fragility of the legislation to this public makes it difficult to operate care safely.
