ZUCHETTO, Milena Amorin et al. Empathy in the nursing care process under the recognition theory approach: a reflective synthesis. Rev Cuid [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.3, e624. Epub 20-Dez-2019. ISSN 2216-0973. https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.v10i3.624.
Introduction
The humanistic and scientific integration between scientific knowledge and healthcare practices is intended to promote care within the constructive perspective of the mutual-aid and trust process, focusing on the effectiveness of care. The essence of nursing care is based on trust relationships and the link between the nurse and the person in care; empathy emerges within this logic as the tie that binds the mutual relations of care.
Materials and Methods
This is a reflective study intended to discuss the care provided by nursing professionals through empathy, in the light of the Recognition Theory.
Results
Data crossing was performed by means of a philosophical central concept and two characterizing categories: Empathy in contemporaneity and nursing as a science of care. The aim was to capture the essence of the recognition in this dialogic and reciprocal process.
Discussion
The literature shows empathy –within the nursing care process– as a procedural and relational construction between the professional and the person that seeks to establish interdependencies under mutual and reciprocal trust. Recognizing the other through empathy is a necessary step to build up a relation of affection and esteem, aiming at establishing relations of trust and reciprocity.
Conclusions
Empathy is developed in nursing care through the intimate and individual recognition of those involved, by means of respect, dignity, civism, compassion, and overcoming differences.
