Fragilities and experiences of nurses in the
approach to the family of the organ and
tissue donor
ABSTRACT | Objective: To unveil the weaknesses and the experience of nurses in approaching the organ and tissue donor family.
Method: Qualitative research with content analysis by Bardin, carried out with seven nurses in a medium-sized hospital in the
interior of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: The data obtained were grouped into three central categories: Nurses' knowledge in the
context of the family approach to the potential organ and tissue donor; Weaknesses experienced by nurses in the context of
communicating bad news to family members of the potential organ and tissue donor and Nurses' experiences in the face of
brain death diagnosis and the determining factors for obtaining organs and tissues. Conclusion: The nurses' experiences in face
of the weaknesses found and experienced in the family approach of potential organ donors, are characterized by conflicts and
situations that expose the professional to an atmosphere of feelings of welcome and empathy.
Keywords: Organ and tissue donation; Nurses; Role of the Nursing Professional; Family; Brain Death.
