Nos últimos anos, mais precisamente a partir da década de 80, acompanhamos um considerável avanço tecnológico, com estruturas cada vez mais automatizadas a serviço dos Centros de Terapia Intensiva (CTI). Entretanto, suposições e inevitáveis interrogações fazem parte dessa história. Perguntei-me então: o que fazer e como interagir frente aos paradigmas para atender a uma necessidade urgente e vital que se volte ao máximo à pessoa humana? Ainda repercutem fortemente na sociedade os mitos, desafios, ambientes frios, desumanos em relação aos Centros de Terapia Intensiva, o que, muitas vezes dificulta e desmotiva as relações de trabalho. Contudo, a experiência vivenciada, no decorrer desse processo, pretende desvendar o segredo do cuidado humano-espiritual como princípio, meio e fim, na implementação efetiva da HUMANIZAÇÃO, nesses locais de trabalho. Humanizar, não significa negar ou desaprovar a mecanização e os meios automatizados de ação terapêutica, significa sim, adotar uma nova postura, um sistema que mais do que pela excelência de instalações e novos equipamentos seja resultante da interação entre a humanização e a excelência técnica. Baseado nessa visão Moscovici (1996) acrescenta: "Máquinas e corações podem funcionar em harmonia, sincronizando os batimentos pelo ritmo humano".

ABSTRACT Objective: To promote a theoretical reflective analysis of what nursing has to learn and teach to global society in times of OVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Reflective theoretical essay aimed at contributing new knowledge and raising new questions, based on the assumptions of Edgar Morin's complexity thinking, subsidized by readings of texts extracted from electronic databases, as well as speeches by health professionals available in open communication tools. Results: COVID-19 reiterates that the biological warfare of the current pandemic is not fought with nuclear or fire weapons, but with care in its multiple dimensions: physical, emotional, spiritual, family, social, political and economic. Final considerations: Nursing has to learn and teach global society that its main object of work, care, is related to the expansion of systemic interactions and associations and the capacity to strengthen the interlocution with complex reality.

Conclusion: It is considered essential to expand the comprehensive/integrative care in the teaching-learning process, starting at the first semesters.
