“…It is, therefore, more than a mere uneasiness; is the original structure of Dasein, of human existence, in time and in the world. 8 Making an analogy between the Heideggerian perspective and Boff´s perspective and bringing it into the context of nursing, we see that care takes place in a two-way street, since the process involves a connection between two social actors, is the holder of the technical-scientific knowledge (nurse) who will give the necessary attention to the restoration of health and the other is the recipient of the attention (patient), 11 which reinforces, once again, care as intrinsic to nursing and fundamental to the existence and the professional-client relationship.…”

Objective: to reflect on the contributions of Leonardo Boff´s literature to the understanding of nursing care. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive study of the critical-reflexive type, which had the books Knowing to Care and The Necessary Care by Leonardo Boff as a reference for the analysis. It was considered as a philosophical reference that would attend to an ontological, epistemological and phenomenological questioning and as an anthropological reference that would be directed to a philosophical anthropology. Results: from the analysis of the chapters of the books of Leonardo Boff, three themes emerged: understanding of care, care as the core of a paradigmatic transformation and care in health and nursing praxis. Conclusion: according to the literature of Leonardo Boff, it was observed that care is conceived as the meaning of existence, that the way of caring must meet the respect for the singularity and human dignity, that the phenomenon of caring is characterized as the essence of nursing and nursing care must have an ethical commitment to the patient.

RESUMOObjetivo: refletir sobre as contribuições da literatura de Leonardo Boff para a compreensão do cuidado em enfermagem. Método: estudo qualitativo, descritivo, do tipo crítico-reflexivo, o qual teve como referencial para a análise os livros Saber Cuidare O cuidado necessário, de Leonardo Boff. Considerou-se como referencial filosófico o que atendesse a um questionamento ontológico, epistemológico e fenomenológico e como referencial antropológico o que fosse voltado a uma antropologia filosófica. Resultados: da análise dos capítulos dos livros de Leonardo Boff, emergiram três eixos temáticos: compreensão do cuidado, cuidado como cerne de uma transformação paradigmática e cuidado na práxis em saúde e enfermagem. Conclusão: de acordo com a literatura de Leonardo Boff, constatou-se que o cuidado é concebido como o sentido da existência, que o modo de cuidar deve ir de encontro com o respeito à singularidade e dignidade humana, que o fenômeno do cuidar caracteriza-se como essência da enfermagem e que o cuidado de enfermagem deve ter compromisso ético com o paciente.

“…Suffering is intrinsic to human lives and experiences. 37 In the health care literature, suffering is described as a behavioral and emotional response, 24 an "anguishing experience, severely affecting a person at a psychophysical and existential level" (p. 1), 5 and "undesired experience of a negative physical or affective state" (p. 58). 38 Suffering is so complex and multidimensional that it could be difficult for the sufferer to completely express and articulate.…”

Relational inquiry approach for developing deeper awareness of patient suffering

To practice compassion, the recognition, understanding, and alleviation of patient suffering are of utmost importance. Nursing literature provides ample guidance about the nature and meaning and patients’ views about compassion and physical and psychological suffering. However, missing is the discussion about how nurses can achieve a deeper awareness of patients’ suffering to practice compassion. This paper aims to describe the relational inquiry nursing approach and illustrate how this approach can enable nurses to develop a deeper awareness of patient suffering. The relational inquiry approach encompasses two components: a relational consciousness and inquiry as a form of action. Relational consciousness requires the nurses to focus on the concrete situations and relationships as well as recognize the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and contextual factors affecting the situations. The interpersonal factors are among and between the individuals, intrapersonal factors are within the individuals, and contextual factors are the hidden factors influencing the individuals and situations. Inquiry as an action requires a critical analysis of the experiences of individuals, situational contexts, and knowledge to inform the nursing care modalities and actions. This approach encourages nurses to use the philosophies of hermeneutic phenomenology, critical theory, and pragmatism. The phenomenological worldview allows nurses to interpret their own and patients’ experiences, the critical theory worldview allows nurses to examine the influence of social and cultural factors, and pragmatism allows nurses to question their prior knowledge and develop new knowledge in each situation. The relational inquiry approach allows nurses to develop a deeper understanding of patient suffering through building a therapeutic and trustworthy relationship, active listening, focusing on the details, and engaging in broad and situations specific inquiries to understand the patient narrative of suffering. Two case exemplars are shared to demonstrate how relational inquiry allowed nurses to move beyond recognizing physical suffering and understand patients’ emotional and psychological suffering.

“…The objective is, by caring in Nursing, to understand the human being, to put oneself in the place of the other and meet all basic human needs, from birth to death, respecting the moral reasons of each human being. 1 Resolution 358/2009 was established by the Federal Nursing Council, seeking to qualify Nursing care, which exposes the need to carry out the Nursing process in all health services and record it in the assisted person's documentation. 2 In view of this legislation, the Nursing process becomes essential, which must be carried out deliberately and systematically.…”
