A saúde do ser humano na perspectiva ecossistêmica

Abstract

RESUMOObjetivo: refletir acerca do conceito de saúde do ser humano na perspectiva ecossistêmica. Método: estudo qualitativo, descritivo, de reflexão teórico-filosófica acerca da saúde em analogia com autores que discutem o pensamento ecossistêmico, o ser humano e sua saúde. Buscaram-se referências sobre o conceito saúde do ser humano à luz dos princípios ecossistêmicos, especificamente, verificando a sua aplicabilidade no seu cotidiano. Resultados: evidenciou-se que a saúde do ser humano necessita ser compreendida em seus múltiplos aspectos. Dessa forma, a saúde, em sua totalidade, não é redutível a qualquer uma de suas dimensões, seja biológica, psicológica, social, espiritual, individual ou coletiva. Conclusão: ressalta-se que a saúde do ser humano não é apenas a ausência de doença e, sim, a busca incessante do equilíbrio das necessidades humanas ancorada no conjunto das relações dos elementos que constituem o ecossistema no qual se vive, trabalha e se desenvolve. Essa não é apenas uma estreita afinidade entre ambos, mas o próprio ser humano é parte integrante do ecossistema com o qual se inter-relaciona e provoca mudanças juntamente com os demais elementos constituintes dessa realidade.

ABSTRACT Objective: to reflect on the concept of health of the human being from the ecosystem perspective. Method: qualitative, descriptive study of theoretical-philosophical reflection on health in analogy with authors who discuss the ecosystemic thinking, the human being and its health. References were made to the concept of health of the human being in the light of ecosystemic principles, specifically, verifying its applicability in their daily life. Results: it was evidenced that the health of the human being needs to be understood in its multiple aspects. Thus, health, in its entirety, is not reducible to any of its dimensions, be it biological, psychological, social, spiritual, individual or collective. Conclusion: it is emphasized that the health of the human being is not only the absence of disease, but the incessant search for the balance of human needs anchored in the set of relations of the elements that constitute the ecosystem in which one lives, works and develops. This is not only a close affinity between the two, but the human being itself is an integral part of the ecosystem with which it interrelates and causes changes along with the other constituent elements of that reality.

Paradigmatic influences on technical nursing education

“…In other words, this study took into consideration all the elements that compose reality, considering the relationships and nonlinearity between the elements that integrate the system. 13 The study findings pointed out that technical nursing education should be based on the ecosystemic paradigm, in other words, it should consider the relationships and inter-relationships between all its elements. [13][14] As a result, nurse technicians can be trained to understand each individual according to space/time factors.…”

Consequently, these individuals can reflect on professional practices based on the assumptions of the training received.…”

“…3 Some cultures, like the Western one, have been influenced by a paradigm that began to be developed in the 16 th and 17 th centuries, more specifically in the period between 1500 and 1700, culminating with transformations of peoples' values worldwide, as well as transformations in their way of thinking, acting, and visualizing the world. 13,14 The characteristics of the Cartesian model are reductionism and fragmentation, 13 which have been influencing medical practice. It has given rise to the biomedical model, in which care is delivered to a body seen as a complex machine that needs to be examined by a specialist.…”

“…Systemic/ecosystemic technical nursing education may be considered as a system composed of a set of interdependent elements which seek to induce changes in the performance of these professionals in an interrelated and integrated way. 13,14 Based on this contextualization, the following research question was elaborated: "How does the mechanistic model influence the training of nurse technicians and how the systemic paradigm can generate changes in this training?
