The authenticity of the being nursing-professor in the nursing care teaching practice: a Heideggerian hermeneutics

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to unveil the authenticity of the being nurse-professor in the nursing care teaching practice. The study applied the theoretical-methodological framework of Heideggerian hermeneutics. The strategy used to capture meaning was the phenomenological interview carried out with 11 professors. The organization and analysis of data allowed for the unfolding of the authenticity of the being nurse-professor, revealing that both are authentic in their professional careers and, as such, teach and learn in a different way. This feature makes a difference in the nursing care teaching practice. When led to states of anguish, they seek to follow other roads in order to ratify their responsibility in the care teaching process. Through their freedom to choose their paths, they are made unique beings and thus reveal their authentic existence. DESCRIPTORS:Nursing. Nursing care. Faculty, nursing.

Perception of nursing faculty on the care: Heidegger constructions

“…It is understood as the possibility of being situated in circumstances of its world and to the constant exercise of existing in it, while the nurse teachers understand their world, their purposes and the purposes of the others with whom they live. It is to be launched into the game of life, itself, which through its experiences lived, opens into a horizon of possibilities, being able to choose and decide the paths it takes, which means assuming responsibilities to the present and to the future of teaching of nursing care (9) . The becoming-with-the-other can be signaled when the care is perceived as a possibility of proximity to, or being--with the other, and this exposes the fact that care cannot be carried out without presence, that is to say, in the mode of being-there in the relationships with the world determining its day-to-day practice.…”

Experience of people with advanced cancer faced with the impossibility of cure: a phenomenological analysis

“…It is understood that this methodological perspective enables the understanding of the perceptions and needs that involve people in the face of this reality. 10 The protagonists of the study were people with advanced cancer disease, attended by a non-governmental institution located in a municipality in the northwest region of Paraná, Brazil, which is a reference for people with cancer in socially vulnerable situations.…”

“…In this way, anguish as emotion ahead of an event is able to arouse man from everyday stagnation, leading him to assume his way of being and to meet himself. 10 On this point, Heidegger mentions that it is in the disposition of anguish that the phenomenon of death unfolds to the Being-there in an original and penetrating way. 16 Anguish makes man a unique being: a being-in-the-world who, in the Heideggerian understanding, throws himself essentially to countless possibilities.…”

Authenticity is associated with psychological and subjective well‐being: Convergence between the self‐report and informant's report

“…Later, other authors defined authenticity in similar ways, as a person's appropriation of the self (Sebold & Carraro, 2013) and the consistency between a person's experience, its conscious symbolisation and its behavioural expression (Wood et al., 2008). Authenticity is also considered to be a person's orientation towards his/her values (Medlock, 2012), an organising element of personality (Sheldon et al., 1997) and an emotional experience of the self (Vannini, 2006).…”
