ABSTRACT: The objective was to describing the ludic representations of nursing technicians about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care. This is a clipping of a phenomenological investigation results. The data were collected 

from a focus group with thirteen nursing technicians, using the construction of projective technique, based on the 

principles of Experiential Humanescent Pedagogy. The data analysis was carried out from guiding principles based on the 

work of Alfred Schutz. The ludic representation of nursing technical architects perpassed four thematic axes: 

Systematization of Nursing Care concept; benefits; problems experienced; and needs for improvement. It is concluded that 

nursing technicians represent positively the Systematization of Nursing Care, and believe in its consolidation. It is stressed 

that the use of the construction of billboards as projective technique constitutes an element qualifier of the study by 

stimulating the expression of subjectivities of the subjects surveyed.

INTRODUCTION 
 

The nursing technician (NT), according to 

the law of the professional practice of nursing-law 

nº 7,498/1986, is the component of the nursing staff 

that carries middle-level activities, involving both 

the guidance and monitoring of nursing work in 

auxiliary grade running assistance actions, as 

participation in the planning of nursing care 

(BRASIL, 1986). 

This is a professional who carries out 

activities that are essential to ensuring the 

effectiveness of nursing care, representing the 

professional category with the most numerous 

within the quantitative nursing staff (COFEN, 

2011). 

Thus it is recognized the imperativeness of 

integration of the Systematization of Nursing Care, 

which is defended legally by resolution No. 

358/2009, of the Federal Council of Nursing Care 

(COFEN), which states that the nursing technician  

should participate in the implementation of the 

nursing process – one of the tools of solidification 

of the ideals of the Systematization of Nursing Care 

– that they fit under the supervision and guidance of 

the nurse (COFEN, 2009). 

However, admittedly NT participation in 

Systematization of Nursing Care is still seen as an 

obscure field, involving multiple obstacles, such as: 

the NT, in general, collaborates in a limited way, 

being his involvement with the Systematization of 

Nursing Care restricted in most cases to achieve the 

prescribed nursing care, neglecting their 

contributions with the action planning; the nurse 

seems to ignore the skills of NT related to exercise 

of Systematization of Nursing Care, disabling the 

important partnership of NT; and, still, NT show 

little knowledge about the methodology employed, 

with little or no information is given during the 

training of mid-level professionals about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care (CRUZ; 

ALMEIDA, 2010; RAMOS; CARVALHO; 

CANINI, 2009). 

Furthermore, it is important to highlight the 

difficulties of this category in relation to the 

workload, compensation, preparing to engage in 

particular activities and knowledge or views on the 

theme discussed, aspects that strongly characterize 

the dynamics of nursing technicians in general 

assistance and their training and preparation in 

Brazilian health institutions. 

To overcome such obstacles is therefore a 

fundamental aspect, since it understands that the 

integration of the various categories of nursing in 

realization of Systematization of Nursing Care, 

complied with the legal requirements, consists of 

sine qua non strategy to overcome barriers of 

operationalization of this method (RAMOS; 

CARVALHO; CANINI, 2009). 

Also, it is argued that the contribution of the 

NT can expand and strengthen the assumptions of 

Systematization of Nursing Care, collaborating with 

a team more critical and reflective (CRUZ; 

ALMEIDA, 2010), strengthening nursing as a

science of caring, based on binomial thinking-do, 

without which the nursing actions to reduce 

spontaneous practices, lacking in clinical reasoning.  

In this context, it is understood that 

investigate professional perceptions about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care can help to identify 

whether there are gaps in understanding of these 

professionals, as well as to understand the vision of 

the same about this working method, considering 

that the belief or disbelief in the positivity of the 

Systematization of Nursing Care can influence the 

motivation of the trader to execute it. 

So, it was presented as a question of this 

research: As nursing technicians understand the 

Systematization of Nursing Care? Thus, the goal of 

this work was to describe the playful representations 

of nursing technicians about the Systematization of 

Nursing Care. 

 
MATERIAL AND METHODS 

 

The study in a screen constitutes a clipping 

of the results obtained from the dissertation entitled 

“Understanding the typical ideal of nursing 

technicians about the systematization of nursing 

care”, developed by the postgraduate program in 

nursing at the Federal University of Rio Grande do 

Norte (UFRN). 

The meeting was held on February 15
th
, 

2013, in a previously prepared room on the 4
th
 

HUOL underground, totaling 101 minutes, with the 

collaboration of thirteen nursing technicians. 

It is a phenomenological investigation, 

carried out in the light of the theoretical framework 

of Alfred Schutz. For data collection, we used the 

focal group technique, which consists of a quick, 

low-cost technique for assessing and obtaining data 

and qualitative information, identifying feelings, 

attitudes and ideas of the participants about a 

particular subject or activity (MINAYO, 2010). 

The focal group, titled “What I think about 

Systematization of Nursing Care”, was conducted in 

accordance with the Experiential Humanescent 

Pedagogy (EHP – being called in English language): 

transcorporal humanescent pedagogical reality 

based on knowledge from within the Being, of his 

human abilities, their subjectivity and their 

corporality, from playfulness (CAVALCANTI, 

2010). 

The pedagogical process based on EHP 

promotes, as well, in the sphere of education, the 

learning through work with the imaginary, valuing 

the previous knowledge, the course and the pace of 

construction of each individual, encouraging 

reflection and creativity (CAVALCANTI, 2010). 

Guides, therefore, by playful representations. 

Thus, this design had the scope for 

facilitating the expression of the motivations of the 

subjects. It was employed, in this context, the 

construction of posters, using the figurative 

representation, by means of miniatures, crayons, 

pens and stickers, to seize NTs’ perceptions about 

the Systematization of Nursing Care, associating the 

represent, compose and share reflections as a means 

to facilitate the identification of playful 

representation of NTs, from the key question: What 

is systematization of nursing care for you? 

It is stresses that the use of projective 

techniques contributes to an investigation of 

unconscious content, promotes dialogue and creates 

a favorable environment for research of subjective 

aspects not revealed in verbalization, stimulating the 

expression of feelings, being consistent, therefore, 

with the ideals of the focal group (GREJANIN et 

al., 2007; SOUSA et al., 2010).  

The proposal was, then, in use the triad 

"mount-talk-write" to stimulate the expression of the 

perceptions of the participants about the guiding 

question: 1) assemble a poster using the materials 

provided; 2) talk about their representations, sharing 

ideas and opinions; and 3) write the description of 

the scenario built in a research instrument that 

contributed to the analysis of the speeches of NT. 

Told with the collaboration of thirteen 

nursing technicians active at University Hospital 

Onofre Lopes (HUOL), Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, 

which responded positively to the following 

inclusion criteria: acting in direct assistance care 

HUOL, performing to patients. The amount of 

sample was defined based on the optimal number of 

subjects who must compose a focal group, ensuring 

the effective participation of all (MINAYO, 2010). 

In order to understand a little who were the 

NT, was applied at the beginning of the meeting, a 

questionnaire to participants of the study, composed 

of closed questions and divided into two parts: 

socio-demographic data and data professionals. 

From the agreement of the subject, the focal group 

was recorded and photographed, counting on the 

cooperation of a rapporteur, who noted that that 

cannot be captured by the recordings, such as facial 

expressions, bodily expressions, among other 

aspects; and two other employees, responsible for 

the photographic record and support. 

The study followed the ethical and legal 

principles governing research on humans, 

recommended in resolution No. 196/1996 of the 

National Health Council, being approved by 

Opinion Embodied Research Ethics Committee

The transcription was done by his own 

Master’s student, after hearing the tapes several 

times, in addition to having as primary support 

records conducted by the Rapporteur of the focal 

group. Microsoft Word

 2010 was used for the 

realization of the transcript of the meeting and 

Microsoft Excel

through a worksheet. Later, the transcript was 

shared with both the rapporteur and the contributors 

to the encounter, as with the subjects of research, 

ensuring completeness of same and the reliability of 

the records, which allowed have clarity that 

captured the essences, by qualifying the method. 

The subjects are identified by the letters NT 

(Nursing Technician), followed by the sequential 

number from one to thirteen (NT1, NT2, so on, until 

NT13). 

Finally, the lines were organized by 

multiple readings, which allowed, along with the 

analysis of the posters built, describing the ludic 

representations of nursing technicians about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care. The data analysis 

was based on the guiding principles (ZEFERINO, 

2010) based on the work of Alfred Schutz, 

phenomenologist who reflects on the subjective 

experiences of human beings. 

Stand out from the fourth, fifth and sixth 

guiding principles (ZEFERINO, 2010), through 

which the data analysis was carried out and settled 

the themes: fourth – postulate of subjective 

interpretation – when it held a clipping of lines 

representing the meanings of structures, proceeding 

with the grouping of passages expressing common 

reasons for the questioning, building the categories 

of human action that they contained the actions of 

individuals in relation to the meaning of the 

phenomenon; fifth – postulate of adequacy – in 

which the subject turned to the transcript of the 

meeting, which allowed to be clear that captured the 

essences, improving the method; and sixth – 

scientific logic rationality – at which time the 

themes are unveiled, presenting ludic 

representations of nursing technicians about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care. 

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 
 

The analysis of the signs, lines and records 

allowed describe the playful representation of NTs 

on the Systematization of Nursing Care, bypassing 

four thematic axes, which emerged from multiple 

readings and reflections undertaken, namely: 

concept; benefits; difficulties; and possibilities for 

improvement. 

 
Concept of Systematization of Nursing Care: 
idealization of the unknown 

Despite the NTs have reported that they 

have graduated, on average, two years ago, a time 

when resolutions 272/2002 and 358/2009, of the 

COFEN, had already been published, defending the 

effectuation of the SNC in the context of nursing 

teams, they revealed that they have never had 

contact, nor academic nor professional, with the 

theme, unaware even the term “Systematization of 

Nursing Care”. 

Similarly, other investigations concerning 

the interface between NT and the Systematization of 

Nursing Care stressed that during the technical 

course such contact did not occur, not existing any 

discussion about the Systematization of Nursing 

Care in the academic environment of the NT 

(CRUZ; ALMEIDA, 2010; RAMOS; CARVALHO; 

CANINI, 2009). 

This is an issue of concern, since it 

understands that, “while the knowledge about the 

methodology is restricted to the practice of nurses, it 

is unlikely that the other categories of nursing staff 

contribute to their recognition” (CRUZ; ALMEIDA, 

2010, p. 926) and that, consequently, the 

Systematization of Nursing Care is effectively 

consolidated. 

However, despite not having had contact 

with the theme in their training environment, either 

in their desktop, eventually NTs idealize the 

unknown, representing what they thought about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care, building a concept 

completely beneficial and positive by expressing the 

subjective face of this working tool, which goes 

beyond the scientific concepts. 

It should be noted that the method used for 

data collection allowed the nursing technicians 

reflect on the Systematization of Nursing Care 

subjectively, even without the formal theoretical 

knowledge about the theme. Thus, by using an 

innovative method, it was possible that this fact 

does not turn into a bias for the study, but the 

possibility of ludic representation of the theme, 

showing a subjective face that matches the precepts 

of Systematization of Nursing Care. 

For it, thumbnails, stickers and drawings 

were used, in addition to words or even written 

reflections, revealing the experiences of NTs about 

the Systematization of Nursing Care. By means of 

letters and numbers, the NTs idealized 

Systematization of Nursing Care as a professional 

learning process, through which the nursing

Biosci. J., Uberlândia, v. 31, n. 4, p. 1270-1278, July/Aug. 2015 

professionals will understand the rules and 

techniques specific to your care, i.e. the 

Systematization of Nursing Care would be the 

means of care, systematically, from users. Table 1 

summarizes the representations of the NTs about the 

Systematization of Nursing Care. 

In general, NTs have idealized the 

Systematization of Nursing Care as a tool which 

encourages the handle with humanescence and 

accountability: the flowers, representing such 

aspects, appeared in almost all of the posters, along 

with heart stickers and even the word LIFE, proving 

to be the object of nursing work a precious 

commodity that must continually be veiled. 

The Systematization of Nursing Care, in this 

perspective, would be the system that covers the 

whole process of nursing care, ensuring that equal 

attention and solidifying quality, focusing on 

humanescence, in which the heart, in the center of 

the poster, would represent the wards, stage of 

consolidation of this working tool. 

Also, the NTs seized the Systematization of 

Nursing Care as the professional knowledge able to 

organize their care, planning-to ensure that there is a 

parity between what you think and what you do: 

“[...] I deduce it's a study, that everything 
works with equality, like all rights equally in health, 
which has a good service by health professionals 
and all, one day, be good as is planned on paper” 
(NT10). 

It is idealized as a positive concept of 

Systematization of Nursing Care, as a process of 

care that would bring numerous benefits for those 

involved.

Benefits of Systematization of Nursing Care 
From the concept of positivity of 

Systematization of Nursing Care built by NTs, 

multiple benefits of using this tool were elucidated: 

care qualification; focusing on humanescence and in 

the care with respect to the individuality of the 

users; teamwork, through the Union of 

professionals; parity theory-practice; strengthening 

the professional link-user; the Organization of care; 

and focus on the real needs of users. 

The representations built by NT6 (Figure 1) 

summarise the benefits cited in unanimity by 

citizens of the research: to guarantee a humanescent 

care. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 1. Poster built by NT6, Natal/RN, 2013. 
 

Humanescent care is understood as a care 

that provides and enhances the expression of 

subjectivities of the subject, the essence of human 

interaction, the sensitive, disclosing, guided by 

humanistic interpersonal relationship. The term 

‘humanescent’ is highlighted, so, as they understand 

that it is not possible to humanize what is human, 

but rather, seek out the expression of human 

essence: to become humane (CAVALCANTI, 

2010). 

In this perspective, it is believed that the 

Systematization of Nursing Care ensures the 

building of humanescent care, guided by respect for 

the individuality of the users (dolls together of 

different colors), by the love and care of 

professionals (hearts, flowers and the word LOVE) 

and professional dedication (ducks): 

“For me the systematization of assistance 
means planting well to scoop best” (NT12) 

“[...] to be human with patients and with co-
workers” (NT2). 

“[...] for there to be, really, a better work, 
people should have, really, sensitivity towards the 
patient, because it's wonderful tear a smile with a 
patient who has no faith, no longer have hope and 
you take joy for him, takes a positive energy, that's 
nursing” (NT13). 

The qualification of interpersonal 

relationship was also considered an essential benefit 

of Systematization of Nursing Care in research that 

sought to meet the competencies developed in the 

training of nursing technicians to implement the 

Systematization of Nursing Care. The participants in 

this study mentioned both the aspects related to the 

patient, the health team and highlighted the 

interaction in nursing staff as elements favored by 

the Systematization of Nursing Care implementation 

(CRUZ; ALMEIDA, 2010). 

The understanding that the Systematization 

of Nursing Care organizes care, expanding the 

vision of the professional, which happens focusing 

on the real needs of users also came to prominence, 

with the understanding that, with the 

Systematization of Nursing Care, care shall be 

guided by a clinical reasoning: 

“Not only we should be back to pathology, 
and, yes, to the needs those this patient has, being 
aware of, say, a particular event, why that, say, a 
pressure ulcer: because you have opened, what are 
we supposed to do, what to do and how to do it” 
(NT7). 

Such a vision has been clarified in other 

polls that had the NTs as subjects investigated, it 

being understood that the Systematization of 

Nursing Care builds on the understanding that the 

professionals have about the patient's conditions, 

optimizing and guiding the assistance to be 

provided, by qualifying the care (CRUZ; 

ALMEIDA, 2010; LONGARAY; ALMEIDA; 

CEZARO, 2008).  

The NTs also put in relief many problems 

those people experience in their professional 

practice, elements that deserve to be listed and 

rethought, since they can be translated into 



1275

Biosci. J., Uberlândia, v. 31, n. 4, p. 1270-1278, July/Aug. 2015 

complicating of the implementation process of the 

Systematization of Nursing Care. 

 
Problems experienced in professional practice 

From the reflection about the practice that 

they live, the NTs put, deeply, multiple challenges 

in their profession, sometimes compromising the 

quality of the actions performed and, above all, the 

quality of life of nursing professionals (Figure 2). 

“An appropriate assistance is ideal, but we 
know that the kind of assistance often allows us to 
do this task with caution” (NT7).  

Thereby, the quality healthcare was 

questioned, and there were highlighted the 

following problems that characterize its practice: the 

lack of material and human resources, causing the 

overload of work; the lack of recognition of 

professionals; the lack of professional 

humanization; the double and triple workload to 

which they are subjected, in virtue of the financial 

terms that experience; the troubled professional 

relationship; and the administration fails. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 2. Poster built by NT7, Natal/RN, 2013. 
 

Thus, with regard to the lack of recognition 

of professionals, several reports of NTs denounce 

unhealthy working conditions, which make you 

forget to take care of yourself: 

“Actually, it was more of a rant, because 
often charge a lot of us technicians, but as health 
professionals also make us very overworked and I 
think this is very wrong, and I am often saddening, 
because often no time to care really, and Yes only 
medicate, because there is so much to do, many 
patients for one person, and our lives end up not 
being experienced because there's no time” (NT11). 

“So either you stand quiet and works 
because you need, or you become unemployed. So 
often, we end up with ... Not here, is a teaching 
hospital, so we have this freedom, we will only give 
what we can, because, whether we like it or not, the 
we are students ... But, out there, we're a normal 
person, because they don't value us as technicians, 
although we love what you do and the people, who 
gives each here ourselves, because higher authority 
does not” (NT8). 

“[...] to grow professionally, you have to 
grow up, but you have to grate” (NT1). 

A study that examined the relationship 

between work, health and living conditions of 

workers found that the nursing professionals are 

exposed to unhealthy work environments, in the 

material sense and subjective, and are subjected to 

working conditions, with insufficient time for rest 

and recreation, which enhances the chances of 

illness and committed the care of health 

professionals (SPINDOLA; MARTINS, 2007).  

Means the essentiality of health 

professionals have adequate working conditions, 

allowing them to attend, since, if the caregiver is 

unable to care for themselves, the better condition of 

life will and better condition will have to take care 

of the other and help people bring in search of self-

knowledge and self-care (VIEIRA; ALVES; 

KAMADA, 2007).
  

Add the troubled labor relations, which 

were mainly related to the existence of professionals 

who don't dedicate themselves to consolidate 

humanescente care so coveted by the subjects of 

research, often by distancing the theory and practice 

of their actions. The NT12, reflecting on such 

issues, introduced the metaphor of “transparent 

heart”: 



1276 

Ludic representations of nursing…  SALVADOR, P. T. C. O.; SANTOS, V. E. P. 

Biosci. J., Uberlândia, v. 31, n. 4, p. 1270-1278, July/Aug. 2015 

“[...] the transparent heart means that many 
people into the middle of the nursing talk, but in 
practice, is different, not put into practice what they 
say” (NT12). 
 
Needs for  improvement: the way forward 

 

Facing the problems listed, the NTs began 

reflecting on the way forward to overcome them. In 

a way, it was exposed that the nursing professionals 

need to fight to chain their achievements, reflecting 

critically on the reality they experience: 

“[...] we're covering holes, so we are also 
complicit with this, we are contributing to that 

happens increasingly. If the us reach and speak that 
I put a stop, can be better ... But, sometimes, we 
think of the patient, not to leave that hole, and just 
ended up overloading [...]” (NT10). 

It is idealized that such changes will only be 

possible through an educational process:  

“[...] it is through education that we can 
have this learning [...] studying would improve a lot 
and we'd have a better, systematic, equal for all” 
(NT3).  

To this end, improvement needs were 

referred to, which are synthesized in the poster of 

NT1 (Figure 3).

The dolls together represent the Union 

needed by health professionals, the ducklings that 

there must be a multidisciplinary work and the 

hearts and the word LIFE clarify that professionals 

should have love and responsibility for exercising 

their profession. 

It was exposed that is necessary to 

overcome the Cartesian model of thought, renewing 

ideas in pursuit of holistic focus on the real needs of 

users, understanding that nursing would be a 

continuous process of care, based on a clinical 

reasoning essential to consolidate effective health 

practices. 

 

CONCLUSIONS 
 

It stresses the imperativeness to integrate the 

process of struggle for the consolidation of 

Systematization of Nursing Care, being evident the 

need to include this subject in the curriculum of 

nursing technical courses, clarifying the roles and 

responsibilities of each member of the nursing staff. 

It stands out the use of EHP as a north of 

realization of the focal group, which constitutes an 

element qualifier of the study by stimulating the 

expression of subjectivities and favoring the 

verbalization of perceptions. It is added, also, that 

by uniting the representation by means of scenarios, 

the written description of the same and the verbal 

sharing of buildings, the expression of playful 

representations have been enriched. 

The EH, pegged to the focal group, was an 

additional element to the data collection process and 

the construction of knowledge, representing an 

innovative alternative that can contribute to the 

achievement of qualitative research. 

It is valid noting that the results presented 

are the expression of a specific reality, being 

imperative to conduct further investigations 

revealing similarities and diversities regarding 

thoughts exposed. 

It is expected, therefore, that other studies 

are elevations, once knowing the opinion of

RESUMO: Objetiva-se descrever as representações lúdicas de técnicos de enfermagem acerca da 
Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem. Trata-se de um recorte dos resultados de uma investigação 

fenomenológica. A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de um grupo focal com treze técnicos de enfermagem, utilizando a 

construção de cartazes como técnica projetiva, pautando-se nos princípios da Pedagogia Vivencial Humanescente. A 

análise dos dados foi realizada a partir de princípios orientadores baseados na obra de Alfred Schutz. A representação 

lúdica dos técnicos de enfermagem perpassou quatro eixos temáticos: conceito da Sistematização da Assistência de 

Enfermagem; benefícios; problemas vivenciados; e necessidades de melhoria. Conclui-se que os técnicos de enfermagem 

representam positivamente a Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem, e acreditam em sua consolidação. Destaca-se 

que o uso da construção de cartazes como técnica projetiva constitui um elemento qualificador do estudo, estimulando a 

expressão das subjetividades dos sujeitos pesquisados.
