Shared sensemaking and emotions in intensive care unit
Abstract
Criticality, uncertainty, speed, multitasking, round the clock activity and high emotive impact are the main characteristics in ICU work. Physicians need to interpret situations and circumstances as a team in order to control this complexity. This process (sensemaking individual, collective, shared) lets professionals understand what is happening and work in a coordinated and cooperative way to achieve clinical safety ( Albolino et al. ).
