Introdução: Ao longo do percurso formativo, aprofundei conhecimentos e competências essenciais à prática de excelência em Enfermagem de Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica. Comprometida com a qualidade dos cuidados, investi na construção do meu saber, destacando-se a realização de um estudo qualitativo sobre os efeitos do ruído branco em bebés prematuros na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais, como estratégia de promoção de conforto. Um conjunto crescente de evidências revela que o ruído branco pode desviar a atenção dos bebés prematuros dos estímulos dolorosos porque bloqueia o ruído desagradável e irregular gerado pelo ambiente externo, reduzindo, assim, significativamente a intensidade da dor.
Objetivo: Refletir criticamente sobre as aprendizagens, em conformidade com as competências específicas do do Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica; Compreender se os enfermeiros que exercem em Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais têm conhecimentos sobre os efeitos do ruído branco em bebés prematuros, como medida não farmacológica de promoção de conforto.
Metodologia: Recurso a uma metodologia crítico-reflexiva acerca das atividades desenvolvidas nos diferentes estágios; estudo qualitativo, fenomenológico-hermenêutico, tendo por base os seis critérios sugerido por Max Van Manen. Amostra de 7 enfermeiras a exercer em Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais de duas Unidade Locais de Saúde. Utilizou-se a técnica de amostragem de conveniência, com recolha de dados através de entrevista semiestruturada.
Resultados: Diversos aspetos contribuem para o aumento do desconforto e stresse dos recém-nascidos e as estratégias para os atenuar são cruciais para um ambiente mais favorável ao desenvolvimento e recuperação dos recém-nascidos.
Conclusão: O estudo mostra que as enfermeiras que exercem em Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais têm conhecimentos sobre os efeitos do ruído branco em bebés prematuros, como medida não farmacológica de promoção de conforto.
Palavras-chave: Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal; Recém-nascido; Ruído branco; Conforto, Cuidado de Enfermagem.
Abstract Introduction: Throughout my academic journey, I have deepened essential knowledge and skills for delivering excellence in Pediatric and Child Health Nursing. Committed to the quality of care, I actively invested in building my expertise, notably through a qualitative study on the effects of white noise on premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, as a strategy to promote comfort. An increasing body of evidence suggests that white noise can divert premature infants’ attention from painful stimuli by masking unpleasant and irregular external environmental noise, thereby significantly reducing pain intensity. Aim: To critically reflect on the learning outcomes in alignment with the specific competencies of the Pediatric and Child Health Specialist Nurse; and to understand whether nurses working in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit are knowledgeable about the effects of white noise on premature infants as a non-pharmacological comfort-enhancing measure. Methodology: A critical-reflective approach was applied to the activities developed during the various clinical placements. A qualitative, phenomenological-hermeneutic study was conducted based on the six criteria proposed by Max Van Manen. The sample consisted of seven nurses working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of two Local Health Units. Convenience sampling was used, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Results: Several aspects contribute to increased discomfort and stress in newborns and strategies to mitigate them are crucial for a more favorable environment for the development and recovery of newborns. Conclusion: The study shows that Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurses are aware of the effects of white noise on premature babies as a non-pharmacological measure to promote comfort. Keywords: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; Newborn; White noise; Comfort, Nursing Care.
