[Nurse's care practice according to the view of the healthcare team].
This study aims to comprehend the healthcare team perception about the (in)visibility of care practice of being a nurse in pediatric critical care units, according to Paterson and Zderad Humanist Theory. This is a qualitative research that combines the phenomenological approach. For data collection, it was used semi-structured interviews with nurses, physicians, psichologists, physiotherapists, nurse aides and hygienization employes working in pediatric critical care units of a hospital in Curitiba. The analysis followed the steps proposed by Giorgi and presented six categories, being three related to nurses' perception and three related to the multiprofessional team. Based on these statements it was possible to outline a conceptual model of nurses' perception about invisibility in their care practice, and also showed ways to obtain nurses' visibility.
