O enfermeiro e a assistência a necessidade não física do cliente: o significado do fazer

Abstract

This study try elucidate one of the aspects of nursing practice – the care. This interest appeared of the understanding that even when nurses have been adopting a holistic conception of the person, when considering their actions of care, it is in the biomedical model that their beddings are grounded. I center this study about the nonphysical care – thus called to point out the care that does not involve normative and technician procedures, but that one that emerges during the accomplishment of care.I adopetd as theoretical and methodological reference the comprehensive sociology of Alfred Schutz, for understanding that the action of care involves intersubjectivity. Conceiving that non-physical care integrates the physical care, I looked for to comprehend what reason led the nurse to develop that kind of care. I considered the lntensive Care Unity (ICU) as an appropriate place to develop this study, for it' s environment, the technician procedures and the common-sense meaning that the ICU locks up. ln the apprehension of the lived type, the meaning of non-physical care for nurses does appear as being that one that considers it a personal identification with the client, providing personal and professional satisfaction. The analysis of this lived type of nurse allowed me to identify that the fragmentation of care presents as aggravation the non-attendance of the person in a holistic mode, for care presents as aggravation the non-attendance of the person in a holistic mode, for centering, as object of his/her action, the technician procedure, pointing out this acting as a tasks. I conclude that to care involves a reflexive attitude about this action and the replacement of the person as a real subject of this care. Only with tis agrrement it can be affirmed that the nurse has care as a professional action.
