Abstract
Objective: To understand the meanings of the art of care from the perspective of students of bachelor’s in nursing of ENEO-UNAM within the framework of their own formation’s humanistic focus.
Methodology: This is a qualitative phenomenological-hermeneutical study based on Heidegger and Gadamer optics using the focus groups technique with nursing students from the 2nd, 6th, and 8th semesters. The corresponding informed consents were obtained and a questions guide was followed.
Results: Five general categories with seventeen sub-categories were identified: 1) self-perception of nursing; 2) the art of care; 3) nurses-persons interaction; 4) professional conduct; and 5) spirituality vs religiosity.
Conclusions: For students, the art of care means the development of sensitivity, creativity of care, self-appraisal, acknowledgement of the other as a unique person, respect for the dignity of the person, and spirituality within professional behavior. It was also highlighted that the humanistic formation is focused on regarding healthcare as an holistic process which encompasses the family, where, feelings are made conscious, and where the development of the personal-professional identity is an essential component.
