ALVAREZ, E. y URIBE, K.. Clinical hypnosis to improve a patient's disposition to receive treatment in an ICU. Enferm. univ [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.3, pp.193-198. ISSN 2395-8421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reu.2016.04.002.
In this article, we review the case of an adult person hospitalized in a critical patient unit, who has become agitated, and who requires treatment for pressure sores. During assessment, the nurse anticipates the patient's possible negative reaction associated to the pain, and thus uses the clinical hypnosis technique in order to favor the patient's better disposition. This procedure improved the patient's comfort, and the healing treatment was performed without signs of pain. As a result of the enhanced relaxation, the patient's overall wellbeing was ensured. The nursing process is presented as well as the specific procedure. Nursing professionals are encouraged to incorporate the hypnosis into their competences repertoire for the care management.
