Abstract
ANGEL, Yaneth Marcela Muñoz. The pattern of personal knowledge identified in narratives of nursing professors. Rev Cuid [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.2, e688. Epub Jan 09, 2020. ISSN 2216-0973. https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.v10i2.688.
Introduction
Disciplinary knowledge can be evidenced in nursing situations. Carper proposed four patterns of knowledge in 1978: empirical, ethical, aesthetic and personal; the latter allows the professional to know himself/herself to act in relation to others.
Objective
This study aims to identify the dimensions of the personal knowledge pattern based on narratives constructed by professors of the Nursing Degree in the Universidad del Cauca.
Materials and Methods
A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted, which included the preparation of data collection, data collection, organization, analysis and synthesis, summary, implications and results. Two professors participated with their narratives as they were considered representative for the program in relation to quality and content. In addition, interviews were carried out and focus groups were created in the process of complementarity analysis.
Results
The patterns of knowledge in Nursing are indivisible and they can be identified through narratives. The dimensions of the personal knowledge pattern in our context involve 1. Humanization of care revealed through personal knowledge; 2. Confidence for care, concerns and questions from nurses; 3. I as a person, I as a nursing professional: expressing feelings, emotions, roles and believes; 4. Therapeutic use of themselves in nursing.
Discussion and Conclusions
Considering the link established in caring relationships, self-knowledge is fundamental in Nursing. Therefore, it is important to address it from a research, education and practice approach.
