Adaptándose a un nuevo cuidado: narrativa de enfermería desde la experiencia personal

Abstract

Introduction: Nursing is recognized as the science of care that exercises actions based on scientific evidence in relation to the processes of health or disease to provide care governed by human principles and values. The experiences lived in professional practice can become nursing narratives, which represent a unique perspective that contribute to the disciplinary knowledge through the analysis and reflection of the theoretical-epistemological bases.

Objective: Analyze the nursing situation experienced by a nurse in a third level transplant unit according to the epistemological elements of nursing science.

Methods: A narrative analysis of a nursing situation of a postoperative renal transplant patient with graft rejection was carried out based on the components of the Empirical Theoretical Conceptual system and Roy's Adaptation Model.

Results: The concepts of the metaparadigm, the model developed by Roy and patterns of nursing knowledge were applied within the narrative, which was useful to guide and understand the patient's experience in their disease process in order to focus specific care interventions to respond to their basic needs.

Conclusion: In health care nursing has an essential role through the application of accurate and timely knowledge. Nursing narratives expose the relevance of providing informed care and are of great value in training new human resources and instructing novice nurses.
