Concepções de profissionais de enfermagem sobre a sua prática de cuidado

Abstract

To care, nowadays, may be the domination of technologies and increasingly complex procedures. And in this way, we approach the technologies and distance ourselves from the human being. This way, the professional placed in this context ends up adopting a conception of care strongly tied to these resources, making it greater the distance between the human being. Therefore, the choice to deepen the knowledge and understanding as nursing leaders and nursing staff resignifies the care in their caring routine. The objective of this study was to understand how nursing professionals (re) signify human care in the caring routine. This is a qualitative research involving 38 nursing professionals working in a Teaching Hospital in the Northwest of Paraná. Participants were interviewed between February and July 2016. Guiding questions were made that enabled professionals to reflect and rethink about their daily life and their practice of care. The data were submitted to the Thematic Modality Content Analysis, elaborated in the light of Jean Watson's Human Care Theory, in consonance with the elements of the Caritas Clinical Process. The study was previously approved by the Standing Committee on Ethics in Research on Human Beings, under the opinion 1,375,358. The results showed important characteristics and elements of care taken into consideration when the professional provides care to the patient, showed fragilities and potentialities for the practice of care and also the possibilities of care/human care that are in line with The Human Care Theory, Jean Watson's Transpersonal Care, and its implications for the daily care, presented through the elements of the Clinical Caritas Process. It is concluded, by knowing and understanding the ways of caring of these professionals, that it is possible to advance in the qualification of care practices in the professional daily life, in order to favor transpersonal care. From this perspective, it is necessary to propose the reflection about the conceptions and materiality in which care is given by nursing professionals, in order to generate subsidies for the execution of strategies that can contribute to a more humanized activity to patients and their families, that goes beyond the factual and touchable in which is immersed the daily physical care. It also demonstrates as much, the urgency of looking at the nursing professional as a being who needs care.
