The art of care in Nursing

Abstract

This article is an analysis of Nursing as Art of Care, as aesthetic process, knowledge pattern and person to person experience. Defines more deeply care as concept, process and experience from three nursing theories: Science and Art of Human Care of Jean Watson; The Primacy of Caring of Patricia Benner and Judith Wrubel, and the emerging Theory of Care Communities of Peggy Chinn. We propose that care is an intersubjective and intentional process between nurse as a person with an other that is a person too. In this context is possible to give health services to the people, but also is possible not to care that persons. We propose that in this space of care as experience, Nursing finds her identity and autonomy.
