Characteristics of Nursing Profession in the Spanish Context from the Experience of Nursing
Journal Title: Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The overall objective of this research was to determine – from the discourse of the former Ayudantes Técnicos Sanitarios (Technical Nursing Assistants) who are pioneers in teaching the subject of "Nursing Fundamentals" – what the characteristics of the nursing profession are in the current Spanish context. The design was qualitative and analytical induction was used as methodological strategy. The sampling was theoretical and in-depth interview was used as a technique for data collection. For data analysis, the very analytic strategy of the grounded theory was used. Specific strategies were established to ensure the criteria of rigor. The project was approved by a committee of health care ethics and informed consent was given by all the participants, thus establishing a security protocol to ensure data confidentiality. The discourse of the four interviewed pioneer teachers implies that the profession continues to have a professional role based on technique and not on care. Lack of confidence in the value of care, lack of initiative that involves not wanting to assume responsibilities and little capacity for reflective practice are established as the principal shortcomings of the group. As for the professional role exercised in practice, in the opinion of the teachers of the subject of Nursing Fundamentals, the clear preference of the group for the technical role linked to treatment to the detriment of the role linked to care is emphasized.
