Abstract
Objetivo: La muerte en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) es un proceso que la enfermeras
presenciamos frecuentemente. Este colectivo es quien más tiempo pasa con el enfermo y familia, y
esta proximidad espacial y temporal conlleva reacciones emocionales que de no ser canalizadas
adecuadamente, terminan en situaciones de ansiedad y estrés. Por ello decidimos analizar con datos
concretos el grado de ansiedad de los profesionales ante este hecho.
Material y método: Estudio descriptivo transversal llevado a cabo entre los profesionales de
enfermería de la UCI del Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Burgos (CAUB), mediante la escala de
valoración de ansiedad de Templer y un cuestionario con variables sociodemográficas.
Resultados: Un porcentaje mayor del 40% de las enfermeras de la UCI del CAUB superaba los
valores considerados normales de ansiedad. Esta ansiedad no se relacionó con ninguna de las
variables estudiadas.
ABSTRACT: Objective: Death in Intensive Care Units is a process often witnessed by nurses. Nurses are the group that spends more time with the patient and his or her family, and this spatial and temporal proximity leads to intense emotional reactions that, when not treated and channeled appropriately, end up in situations of anxiety and stress. For this reason, we decided to analyze with specific data the anxiety level of professionals facing this reality. Material and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among ICU nurses in the Complejo Asistencial Universitario of Burgos (CAUB), using Templer’s anxiety scale and a questionnaire with socio-demographic variables. Results: More than 40% of the nurses in the ICU of CAUB showed scores above the values considered as normal anxiety levels. This anxiety is not related to any of the variables studied.
