Nursing care and children's rights: Experience in Family Health Centers
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: During the last decade, the public health policies have experienced diverse effective transformations and innovations. Now, the Lawful protection of children's rights has a broader scope and can go from considering their prevailing problems and risks to visualizing their potential and desires.
Objective: To explore nursing care within the children's rights frame from a public health perspective.
Methods: This is a qualitative research study that follows the guidelines of Charmaz. The perceptions of 12 community health nursing workers were analyzed through semi-structured interviews. The central and fundamental categories were simultaneously analyzed. The research study met Ezekiel Emanuel’s ethics criteria and was approved by the scientific ethics committee.
Results: Two main categories arose: 1) the negative socialization towards the construction of gender identity; and 2) the gap between the children's rights and the role of the nursing personnel.
Discussion: Diverse studies show that nurses shape their roles in the context of family rights; however, while dealing with health disparities, they are further driven by their social points of view, their biases, and their prejudices, and these behaviors can have an influence on the way patients utilize health services.
Conclusions: Children's healthcare that nurses provide is not always based on tools to handle the children's rights. Moreover, there are still some public health policies that rely on biology, assistance, and reason-focused programs which consider care only from a biomedical perspective.
