Assistência do enfermeiro na terapia transfusional: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring safety during the transfusion process. Their role goes beyond simply administering blood components, as it includes providing care that aims to prevent harm resulting from professional failures, negligence, or lack of caution. Thus, this study aimed to analyze nursing care during transfusion therapy through an integrative literature review. This is a descriptive, qualitative research whose bibliographic survey was carried out during the period from January/2020 to May/2024. Twenty-four studies were found (100%), but 54.17% (13/24) did not cover the proposed topic. The most frequent database was MEDLINE with 99.75% (23/24), followed by LILAC with 0.24% (01/24). In the end, only 7 studies were selected as they were related to the topic. In conclusion, nursing care in transfusion therapy is an extremely relevant field that requires a holistic and integrated approach. In order to provide quality work in transfusion therapy, professionals must seek ongoing education, effective communication, and evidence-based practice. The studiesanalyzed indicate that the role of nurses is essential for transfusion safety and the efficiency of procedures. Continuous training and updating are essential to minimize risks and ensure good practices.
