Abstract
To analyze the perspectives of nursing professionals regarding therapeutic incarceration. Method: The approach was qualitative descriptive with a phenomenological design. Fourteen nursing professionals participated with a non-probabilistic sampling by convenience with category saturation. A semi-structured interview and focus group were used as data collection techniques. Colaizzi's method was used for data analysis. Results: Six categories emerged: nursing professionals' perspectives, experience in the care process, knowledge about therapeutic incarceration, prolongation of death with futile treatment, living with dignity and the right to a good end, spirituality, God and resilience. Conclusion: It can be indicated that professionals perceive unfavorably that their opinion is not valued, generating an unhealthy work environment and revealing the harsh reality in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Conceptual ignorance about bioethics, dysthanasia, euthanasia and orthothanasia is a responsibility of self-preparation and of the Health Institutions where they work. In addition, dysthanasia is forged with the holistic conception that God is the only supreme entity that grants and withdraws life from beings. Keywords: Resilience; death; treatment.
