“…This is in line with the work of Stein-Backes, Santos Koerich, and Lorenzini Erdmann, [50] which indicated that humanization had positive effects on work conditions, socioprofessional relationships, and loyalty among health professionals. Likewise, our results corroborate several authors' work on humanistic approach in nursing administration, [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] mentioning that harmony and transparency in relationships between colleagues are characteristics of primary importance that go a long way towards improving life at work.…”

“…To our knowledge, there is an urgent need to invest economically in creating a humanistic work environment that facilitates the adaptation of NMs and their personal and professional development as they transition to management practices based on caring attitudes and values (e.g., compassion, gentleness, mutual respect). [49,50,[52][53][54][55][56][57] As professionals, nurse executives and administrators can make caring the norm and can help attain the dual goal of fiscal responsibility and optimal patient care. [58] Some of our findings enrich the existing knowledge found in the literature, while innovative results add to the body of knowledge related to the advancement of nursing management.…”

Objective: Successive reorganizations of healthcare system around the globe have placed enormous pressure on the work of nurse managers (NMs) and this has eroded their quality of work life (QWL). However, little is known about the meaning of NMs' QWL. Aim: Inspired by Watson's Human Caring Science perspective, this study aimed to describe and understand the meaning of QWL among NMs working in a affiliated-university hospital. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological method the Relational Caring Inquiry (RCI) was conducted to describe and understand the experiential meaning of QWL. This qualitative method was used to collect and analyze data from two semi-structured interviews with 14 NMs in an affiliated-university hospital in Quebec, Canada. Results: The results have identified the following five Eidos-themes to describe and understand the experiential meaning of QWL: (1) actualizing leadership and political skills to improve the quality of nursing care; (2) contextual elements conducive to humanization of the organization; (3) organizational support promoting socioprofessional and personal fulfillment; (4) learning culture within the organization to encourage the development of nursing management skills; and (5) personalized support addressing the specific needs of new NMs. For NMs, the essence of the QWL experience is defined as a socioprofessional emancipation of NMs in their clinical-administrative practice in humanist organizations. Conclusions: Taking an organizational humanization perspective, the results reveal sustainable and practical potential strategies aimed at optimizing QWL implementation programs.

“…The present results agree with those of previous studies (18)(19)(20) , which have shown the possibilities of developing new competencies for health care, capable of assigning new meanings to nursing practice, allying technical-scientific and human competence with a view to the humanization of a health care process that considers both patients and health care workers.…”
The Live Library in Hospitals Project is a strategy adopted by several health institutions for the purpose of providing hospitalized children and adolescents the reading mediation of infant-juvenile stories through professionals and volunteers capable of this function. This study aimed to find out to what extent the reading of stories strategy proposed by this project in hospitals can be a communication resource to use with hospitalized children. In order to do that, empirical data collection was carried out through the use of semi structured interviews with the reader and children above the age of seven years and observation of reading sections. The qualitative data analysis was doing it and it was verified that the reading mediation favors the dialogs and
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHThis is a descriptive and exploratory study, (9) and the answers to its inquiries were sought using the qualitative approach, due to the characteristics of the study object and the proposed objective. With the children, the effort was to find out about what kind of story they prefer, why they enjoy listening to stories, how they feel while listening to them, and what relations they establish between the story (imaginary world) and their life.Permission from the legal guardians of the children, usually parents, regarding their participation in the study was obtained after explaining about the study objective and the technique used for data collection and, upon their agreement, they were asked to sign the free and informed consent form. The same procedure was carried out with the reading mediators.To ensure the anonymity of the children participating in the study, their names were replaced with the letters A to N, followed by their age, and with the letters I (when it concerned the interview) or O (referring to observation). The mediators were identified by numbers from I to IX, also followed by I (for interview) or O (for observation).The empirical material produced from the interviews and the observation sessions was typed and organized in separate files, and an analysis was made of the stages determined by the thematic content analysis technique, i.e. pre-analysis, analysis
“…It is believed that, similar to other studies (20)(21) on this theme, this research can collaborate to to the health needs of the user. Finally, it is essential that nurses develop a profile of competences for this educational activity (22) , in which the objective is to contribute to increase users' care autonomy and capacity, also increasing their responsibility for their own health.…”
