Opis

Nursing is a profession that is definitely independent of the branch of medicine and has its own scientific method: the Nursing Care Process, which makes it possible to apply the theoretical basis of nursing to the practice of this activity. According to M. C. Amaro Cano (1994), based on the criteria of other authors, the nursing process involves an approach to solve problems that require cognitive, technical and interpersonal skills whose purpose is to describe the needs of the patient and his or her family.By studying social representations we can have access to answers that allow us to understand the internal world of the subjects studied, taking into account the subjective character they possess and knowing them as part of an organized set of shared experiences and values, which will order the thinking and actions of a group of individuals.
