Summary
A Surgical Center is characterized as a service that provides elements for the surgical practices, prioritizing quality customer support. Care in this unit was created to meet the needs of clinical work, and has a dynamic of nursing care centered on the objectivity of the actions with emphasis on the intervention of a technical nature aimed at the recovery of clients/patients[2]. The organizational structure often presents quantitatively reduced nursing professionals, inadequate compared to the demand imposed by the process of holistic and humanized care. This aspect can result in prioritizing some care; instrumental and mechanistic actions that, when added to the scarcity of material resources sometimes affect the dialogue, exchange of information and experience, and the development of supportive work, thereby weakening relations established between professionals, patients and families[2]
