Objective: This study aimed to identify and analyze the feelings of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) during their stay experience.
Materials and Methods: This is a qualitative descriptive study conducted with 25 patients from two ICUs, aged between 15 and 85 years old. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the collected data were submitted to Thematic Contents Analysis.
Results: These categories were highlighted: "Polarity feelings: positive and negative" and "Care provided by the professional team”.
Conclusion: The negative feelings related to the fear of what this hospital unity ulturally represents prevailed. The positive feelings have been related to the possibility of the reestablishment of their healthy. Care and attention provided by the professional team were perceived by patients as an aid in coping the difficulties experienced in the ICU. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of sensitivity and listening to the singularities of people in the ICU.
