Description
Summary:This research correlates the concepts of the human being proposed by the nursing theorists with the teaching of the human condition supported by Edgar Morin. Such proposal is pertinent to the educational context as nursing theorists are part of the profession’s theoretical framework and Morin is influential in the educational ambit. A qualitative, descriptive and exploratory analysis was performed to achieve the present outcomes. The results encompassed 21 theorists presented in the book Teorias de enfermagem: os fundamentos para a prática profissional (Nursing theories: The fundamentals of a professional practice), as well as Wanda Aguiar Horta, from the book Processo de Enfermagem (Nursing process). It was concluded that these theorists established a knowledge that guides the nursing practise towards the formation of an awareness of the human condition, which is necessary for the diversity that allows for the development of human care.
