Contribution of the nursing process for the construction of the identity of nursing professionals

“…The Nursing Process (NP), from the perspective of nursing institutions, is a specific knowledge, necessary for the professionalization and constitution of a professional identity. In this context, the NP is an instrument to offer support to decision-making in the formulation of public policies aiming to organize work in the field of health, qualify the training of Nurses, and regulate it (1) .…”

Pregnant Women Positioning in Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section: Integrative Review

“…This finding can be justified when considering that the procedure of anesthesia is attributed to a medical specialty, namely anesthesiology and, therefore, this professional category has a tendency to investigate the subject scientifically. The absence of nurses among the authors of the studies is a gap that needs to be filled in future studies, since in the practice of care, the patient's positioning for the anesthetic-surgical act is assisted by nursing practitioners and that these professionals have technical, scientific and managerial skills, as well as specific knowledge based on technical, philosophical and scientific aspects that are indispensable for the perioperative care [11,13].…”

Métodos Mistos Na Pesquisa Em Enfermagem: Possibilidades De Aplicação À Luz De Creswell

“…1 -2 In the midst of the plurality of knowledge, nursing searches for foundations in order to establish its own knowledge, theories and concepts of science based on human care. [2][3] In this respect, it goes back to scientific principles; technical-assistance actions and theories that are evident to the systematization of assistance in phenomena/domains of care, which are legitimized by the specificity of knowledge and drive the discipline towards science itself. 4 In Brazil, although the progress in nursing towards its consolidation as a science has been recognized especially by the leverage of the production of scientific knowledge and professional identity based on the care/assistance triad, teaching/research; and administration/management, there are innumerable challenges to be faced in order for the nursing practice to solidly converge its identity as a care science.…”
