Objective: To understand the knowledge and practices of the Adult Intensive Care nursing team about the Advance Directives. Methods: Qualitative research carried out with 14 nursing professionals from an Adult Intensive Care Unit in the Northeast region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, between May and June 2022 and submitted to Content Analysis. Results: Three thematic categories emerged: Knowledge of the nursing team about the Advance Directives (directives related to care; nursing technicians are unaware of the concept of directives); Practice of the nursing team related to the wishes and desires of the patient (there is a sensitivity of nursing to the care of the Advance Directives of the patient, by communication and discussion in a multidisciplinary round) and Decisions of medical professionals or family members: (dis)respect for the autonomy of the patient (physicians and family members do not respect the prior decision of the patient and the invisibility of the nursing team by physicians, regarding compliance with the directives, was evidenced). Conclusion: There was little knowledge about Advance Directives by nursing technicians in Adult Intensive Care. The patient's wishes are met by affective care. [...]
