Cuidados de Enfermería en el siglo XXI: una mirada hacia el arte de cuidar

Abstract

This article is the complete version of the paper with which I participated in the round-table dedicated to the history and phenom-enology, on the occasion of the celebration of the XII National Congress, VII International History of Nursing and the VII National Conference on Culture of Care, which took place at the University of Alicante, on 24 Novem-ber 2011. La paper is divided into two parts, the first part collects and briefly discussed some points, which will undoubtedly help to stay afloat in society current complex and unsettling. The second part is an attempt to approach the deep space of the subtlety and beauty, pointing to the nursing care as a means to achieve a high degree of humanism in the profession.
