[Contributions for the knowledge on nursing as per the perception phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty].

This text approaches some contributions of Maurice Merleau-Ponty for the knowledge in Nursing starting from the reflection on his work Phenomenology of Perception. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges of the construction of knowledge and on how the philosophical knowledge of a certain thinker can contribute for the search of taking care-care actions in Nursing that allow recognizing the expressive capacity of the human beings. It retakes the expressive phenomenon in the approaching and distancing relations present in the interactive process of taking care. The text intends understanding some of the several dimensions comprised by Nursing and how they go together along the universe of taking care.

The conclusion is that the engagement of families as well of health professionals and institutions, both governmental and non-governmental, may contribute to the implementation of policies that enlarge the network of assistance to children who suffer from an onco-hematologic disease.

[Sunrise model and the sensitive reason in nursing].

This study stems from an assistance and investigation practice on how to offer nursing care based on sensitive reason, compatible with the client's culture, as well as with his/her familial links. We have tried to apprehend the meaning they confer to nurses, to the health-disease process, and to home nursing. The Sun Rising Model was used in order to report the elements emerging over the nursing care periods. Later, a Sun Rising model in post-modern times was drawn, whose culture expressed through beliefs, practices, and habits favored a patient-nurse interaction. Finally, the presentation of the elements emerging form this practice comprises both transcultural theory and sensitive reason at the same time.

[Health organizations from the perspective of complex care system].

The construction of new practices of care presupposes a new look for the health organizations. The objective of this text is to interpret the complexity theme in health and in Nurse fields in the care systems perspective, in order to promote a reflection of the practices of care in the health organizations context. The complex thought brings a new way to conceive the action and the human condition under different perspectives. It appears as a possibility for the visualization of a care system as a complex system in your structures and properties, in the movements of interretroactions in the organizational spaces and in possible auto-organizers processes. It is hoped a transforming action of the health organizations that considers the ambiguities, the uncertainties and the contemporary social dynamics for a healthier living.
