Description
Summary:The aim of the study was to describe how the basic concepts, human being, health, suffering, caring and culture appear in perioperative practice in order to obtain an understanding of the concepts in practice. A hermeneutic text interpretation of results from ten previous studies and reports from perioperative research meetings with co-researchers was conducted in order to gain an understanding of the concepts in practice. The basic concepts were understood as; The human being -- the patient and the nurse. Patient is a suffering human being who has been betrayed by the body; a body that needs to undergo surgery. Nurse -- the caring human being, whose ethos is embedded in human dignity and emerges in their caring acts. Health -- to be a unique human being: someone who wants to be taken seriously wants to become involved, to be considered a resource and to establish a communion. Suffering -- a struggle between good and evil: Suffering exists in different forms.
