HUMANIZATION OF ASSISTANCE

PROPOSALS FOR PROFESSIONAL NURSING EDUCATION

Abstract

Humanized care is at the disciplinary core of nursing care. The current times of the profession, characterized by technological irruption, globalization and the protocolization of care, have meant a distancing of the profession from the fundamental premises of humanized care.
Humanized care implies reflecting on the phenomenon of the human and is the essence of the nursing profession. The training of new professionals should systematically include aspects of humanized care. The curriculum is positioned as a fundamental tool, which provides the structural basis for the training of professionals, who must possess competencies associated with humanized care, considering that they will become the executors of it. The undergraduate nursing curriculum becomes a key tool for the acquisition of competencies, as well as the current teaching-learning-evaluation methodologies are useful strategies when implementing a curriculum that incorporates humanized care.
This article aims to establish some conceptual definitions and generate a proposal for the formation of competencies associated with humanized care in future nursing professionals, thus generating a proposal "from the curriculum".
