Nurses often adopt a mechanist view, perceiving the individual from a biological standpoint and giving little attention to psychological, historical and cultural aspects. This evidences the need for a more humane approach, in which the communication between nurses and health service users can be achieved with more comprehension and participation. The aim of this paper is to introduce the concepts of language and communication in nursing consultation, using as a theoretical and conceptual framework Jürgen Habermas' theory of universal pragmatism. In nurses' everyday routine, it is important to intermediate and adapt knowledge and technical skills with a view to effective performance in humanized care for individuals and the community. The dialogic practice, through reflexive and participative communicative action by nurses, is needed for more humane care.
This article is an annotated bibliography on the topic of nurse staffing and patient care outcomes in the acute care setting. The authors have been involved in the developmental and pilot phase of the Veterans Affairs Nursing Outcomes Database project to build a database of acute care nursing-sensitive quality indicators. In the section preceding the annotated bibliography, a context for the development of this literature review is explained and a summary synthesizing key issues is presented.
This reflexive and theoretical study presents the basic presuppositions of Symbolic Interactionism, which deals with the signification as the theory's central concept, in which the actions are constructed through the interactions among people. It aims to show the affinity of Nursing with that theory by looking for possibilities for interactive care in teaching, in the practice and in research.
