Competências relacionais e preservação da intimidade no processo de cuidar

“…In terms of the correlation between student gender and total ICRA score, we found that the mean score for total helping relational skills among men was slightly higher than among women (although the difference was not statistically significant). This finding corroborates that of another study conducted with nurses in which "men seemed to present, even if slightly, higher values of overall helping relational skills compared with women" (10) . Nonetheless, regarding the overall scale score, the results of that study showed that:…”

“…Female students presented higher means in all dimensions of helping relational skills and developed their generic, empathetic and communication skills significantly better than men. Regarding contact skills, no statistically significant differences were found between genders (10) .…”

“…Researchers have different opinions on this finding, and in one study, the researchers stated that "the older students get, the more life experience they have; their cognitive capacity becomes increasingly more complex and they have an easier time understanding others" (11) . In contrast, another researcher found that "the older the student, the less developed their helping relational skills" (10) . The same study concluded that, "there was an association between age and the development of contact skills, being that older subjects presented lower scores (and the younger students developed these skills to a greater extent)" (10) .…”

“…Another researcher also concluded that, "Although there were differences between genders in terms of helping relational skills, these were not statistically significant" (10) . The fact that the values obtained in our study for gender and empathetic skills were not statistically significant is justifiable, for "one of the main expectations of the client who communicates with the intervening professional is to be understood," regardless of the caretaker's gender (11) .…”
