Resumo Enquadramento: A terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC) é parte do passado da enfermagem que precisa de ser conhecido, a fim de dar sentido às transformações nos saberes e práticas após a Reforma Psiquiátrica. Objetivo: Identificar os cuidados de enfermagem na aplicação da terapia electroconvulsiva em utentes internados num instituto psiquiátrico brasileiro entre 1980 e 1990. Metodologia: Investigação histórico-social em documentos escritos da instituição cenário e orais produzidos com profissionais de enfermagem, interpretados à luz do referencial foucaultiano. Resultados: Os cuidados de enfermagem foram definidos pela experiência quotidiana e realizados nos momentos pré, trans e pós a aplicação da terapia electroconvulsiva.

Abstract Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a part of Brazilian Nursing History that needs to be known to understand the evolution of knowledge and practice following the Psychiatric Reform. Objective: To identify nursing care for inpatients undergoing ECT at a Brazilian psychiatric institution between 1980 and 1990. Methodology: Social-historical study based on written documents from a Brazilian psychiatric institution and oral statements from nursing professionals, analyzed according to Foucault's framework. Results: Nursing care was defined based on everyday experiences and provided before, during, and after ECT. Nursing professionals had no professional training. They acted autonomously, administering ECT to calm agitated patients, or accompanied physicians' interventions, providing care to reduce the side effects of ECT. Conclusion: Despite being part of the asylum-style care model, ECT included nursing care to avoid unwanted effects. Nursing professionals witnessed the decline of ECT in society. The present study describes aspects of ECT that are inconsistent with today's practice.

Resumen Marco contextual: La terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC) forma parte del pasado de la enfermería que es necesario conocer para dar sentido a las transformaciones del conocimiento y la práctica tras la Reforma Psiquiátrica. Objetivo: Identificar los cuidados de enfermería en la aplicación de la terapia electroconvulsiva en pacientes ingresados en un instituto psiquiátrico brasileño entre 1980 y 1990. Metodología: Investigación histórico-social en documentos escritos de la institución y documentos orales producidos con profesionales de enfermería, interpretados según el referencial foucaultiano. Resultados: Los cuidados de enfermería se definieron por la experiencia diaria y se llevaron a cabo antes, durante y después de la terapia electroconvulsiva. El personal de enfermería no tenía formación profesional y actuaba por su cuenta, aplicando la terapia para calmar a los pacientes agitados o acompañando la aplicación del médico, proporcionando cuidados para reducir los efectos secundarios. Conclusión: A pesar del modelo de manicomio, la aplicación de la terapia electroconvulsiva contaba con cuidados de enfermería a los pacientes para evitar efectos no deseados. La enfermería ha seguido el declive de la TEC en la sociedad. Este estudio pone de manifiesto las características de la TEC que no se ajustan a la práctica contemporánea.
