Intervenção projetual no setor de enfermagem do Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia (INC): uma ação projetual participativa a partir da perspectiva dos profissionais de saúde

Abstract

Health institutions play a significant role in the promotion, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and medical research. This article presents the research developed at the National Institute of Cardiology (INC) in Rio de Janeiro, a reference hospital for complex heart diseases involved in academic and professional training. The School of Fine Arts at UFRJ, through the extension project – Design de Interiores do Bem – was requested to intervene and improve some INC sectors. Using a participatory and structured methodology, the student team conducted analyses, participatory dynamics, and interviews to develop an interior design project concept that could create a sensitive ambiance for this place. The result, presented and discussed with INC professionals, highlighted the importance of involving healthcare professionals and students in project decision- making, promoting a more welcoming ambience that provides well-being.
