Abstract

Introduction: Population aging has brought about major changes in the incidence and prevalence of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and among them is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), currently considered a major public health problem. One of the therapies used in the treatment of end-stage CKD is hemodialysis, which requires a series of changes and adaptations in the patient's life. The illness for the caregiver family is configured as a painful and difficult time to face, in which they need recurrent reorganizations and adaptations. A family member regularly takes over the care and their needs are often neglected or not prioritized. Thus, psychology as part of the multidisciplinary care team has the role of promoting spaces for welcoming and caring for the caregiver. Objectives: to describe the experience of a waiting room with family members and caregivers of patients at the Nephrology Unit of the University Hospital of Juiz de Fora (HU-UFJF/Ebserh). Experience Report: The waiting room took place from September to December 2020, aiming to provide a space for reception, support, exchange of experiences and discussions of relevant topics that permeate care. The interventions took place every two weeks, with an average duration of one hour, and were conducted by two resident psychologists. The meetings were attended by an average of five family members and the themes were proposed by the participants themselves. Nine meetings were held to discuss themes such as resilience, empathy, communication styles and family conflicts. Conclusion: The intervention allowed a space for listening, welcoming, reflecting and exchanging experiences, providing the active participation of these caregivers and the humanization of care. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the waiting room can be a powerful tool to be used by psychologists in the context of chronic diseases, especially within the scope of the Unified Health System (SUS).
