Cartographic research: Theoretical and methodological reflections for nursing

Abstract

Objective: to reflect on the theoretical and methodological contributions of cartography for nursing research. Method: this is a reflexive essay on the theoretical and methodological reverberations of cartography in nursing research based on the deleuze-guattarian conceptual network. Results: the reflections were grouped in a reflective pillar entitled: Theoretical and methodological contributions of cartography for nursing research. From this perspective, cartography was considered as an attitude of discoveries in the field of subjectivity, problematized by the position of the researcher-cartographer during the act of investigating-mapping. Conclusion: cartography, as a field of experimentation, presupposes, on the part of the researchers, the detachment of techniques plastered in research, as a way of analyzing the complexity of the phenomena in their relation with the practice of nursing in the mapped territories.
