Objective:
To analyze the influence of proxemic factors on communication and care provided by nursing professionals during transfusion in hemotherapy.
Method:
A descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study with 25 nursing professionals from a hospital specializing in onco-hematological diseases in Rio de Janeiro, based on a systematized script, individual records of proxemic factors described by Edward Hall and recorded situational interviews. The analysis considered data thematic content and used the SketchUp 3D Modeling Software Review program to visually demonstrate the behavioral mapping of the interaction of nursing professionals with patients during care.
Results:
Intimate, personal, social and public distances translated into proxemic factors such as repeated movements of shoulders, neck and head, which positively influenced nursing care in hemotherapy, favoring the identification of non-verbal and verbal manifestations of the team in interaction with patients.
Conclusion:
Nonverbal proxemic communication must result from awareness of the layout of physical space, immediate care actions, pertinent and appropriate proximity, continuous visual surveillance and clear recognition of expressions translated as interest, respect and zeal.
