Sumario:Objective: to analyze the nurses' discourse about the environment of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and its transformations with the presence of the family member/caregivers. Method: qualitative research, carried out through a questionnaire with 28 nurses from 3 (PICUs). Iramuteq software was used for data processing. For the analysis, the Descending Hierarchical Classification and the thematic analysis were carried out. Results: the nurses mentioned the importance of the ambience of the unit and the need for the family member to remain. However, they claim that the physical space is not appropriate for this permanence. In addition, the PICU was characterized as stressful, especially in relation to lighting, noise, temperature, and lack of spaces for rest and meals. Conclusions: the environment influences the care provided to children and their families in the PICU, as well as the nurses' interpersonal relationships, especially with family members. Therefore, it is essential for nurses to participate in the process of planning and building the unit, making the environment of the unit a tool that facilitates health production.
