Abstract
Introduction: Humanized nursing care has been limited. Professionals in the clinical area in Colombia focus on administrative activities, relegating direct care and interpersonal relationships.
Objective: to identify alternatives at the professional and institutional level to strengthen humanized nursing care in two university hospitals.
Methods: hermeneutic qualitative study of dialectical participatory type. Participants received theoretical inputs on the concepts of man, humanism, nursing, self-cultivation, among others, and were asked to diagnose the state of humanized care in order to seek alternatives. The dialogue between theory and praxis was evaluated through content analysis and the results were validated by the participants. Fifty-seven people were included, 21 focus groups and three semi-structured interviews were conducted.
Results: the main limitations identified were: high workload, excessive regulations, automation of professional practice, inadequate prioritization of the patient's needs, and failures in the promotion of self-care, in the follow-up of delegated tasks and in communication. The following were proposed as alternatives: greater availability of human and physical resources, care plans, revision of institutional protocols, reengineering of care management, direct patient care and promotion of teamwork.
Conclusions: in the institutions studied, having time to think, plan, provide direct and comprehensive care and follow up on delegated tasks are the conditions for nursing care to be given in a humanized manner. The availability of time is subject to the availability of resources, which determines the impact of professional nursing action.
