title: [Care for patient and family in a case of traumatic lesion of the spinal cord].
abstract: To develop research about nurse's action in rehabilitation, considering specific patients is very rewarding, but it is a challenge as rehabilitation is an emergent area that comes to abolish the focus of the late treatment, that is later than trauma. In order to identify and analyse the nursing interventions to the family, the author chose a methodology that can express the care nurses deliver to patients with spinal cord injury. The author collected data on nursing consultations identifying 14 nursing diagnoses and 183 interventions. Using the Delphi technique, 76 interventions were validated regarding to 8 nursing diagnoses that are more frequent. With reference to all interventions (76), there are 20 prescribed interventions to the family. We believe that it is necessary to keep a communication chanel with the family since the moment of trauma, inserting this support unit in the rehabilitation process.
