Vulnerabilidade da família: desenvolvimento do conceito

Abstract

This study aimed to develop the concept of family vulnerability. Data were collected through Qualitative Concept Analysis, which involves two phases. In the first, theoretical phase, data from literature were used for identification of the theoretical attributes of the concept. In the second, field phase, data were collected by means of observations and interviews with twelve families going through the experience of a child's disease and hospitalization. Symbolic Interactionism was used as a theoretical framework, which supported Grounded Theory, applied to guide data collection and analysis in the field phase. As a result of phase II, a theoretical model was built, whose central category defines family vulnerability as FEELING THREATENED IN THEIR AUTONOMY, due to the interactions between family members, illness and health team. The comparison between the two analyses allowed for a theoretical proposition of family vulnerability and advances in terms of theoretical knowledge on family nursing.

Care ethics in hospitalized child: a perspective for nursing

“…6:15 From the point of view of professional practice [...] "the implementation of a humanized care, more than the fulfillment of a moral prescription, based on obedience to what should be associated with the risk of punishment against transgressions need to be found in ethics" 7:133 Therefore, "humanization as ethical space requires the promotion of healthy professional relationships, respecting the differences, of investment in human subjects training of the institutions, beyond the professional boundaries" 7:134 Thus, the practice of an ethical care means implementation of actions of the nurses and staff of the practice when individuality and subjectivity of the cared human beings, easing their state of vulnerability. 8 To make sense of the reflections proposed by the study, "it is to the contemporary period to inaugurate the time of objective ethics, born of intersubjective communication, in reciprocity of I-you-us. The ethics originates in the living relationship between an I and a you, that then is relational.…”
