Abstract

The aim was to discuss the ethical and legal implications of electroconvulsive therapy and the Nursing work involved. It is a theoretical reflection. The critical conceptualization was based on readings of Ministerial Ordinances, Technical Reports, Resolutions of the Federal Councils of Nursing and Medicine, scientific literature, those current and considered classic for the understanding and discussion of the proposed theme. Finally, the NANDA International nursing classification systems were used for the formulation of Diagnoses, Classification of Results and interventions. The results and discussions were presented dialogically in three thematic units: ethical and legal implications of carrying out ECT; differences in conception between groups that support ECT and groups that condemn it and contributions to nursing practice. ECT is accepted as a form of treatment by world institutions, however, it is quite controversial and the work of nursing is little discussed but is still systematized and extremely important.
