Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to approach nursing praxis from an
axiological and humanistic perspective, based on the philosophy of humanized
care described by Watson Jean, in a dialogical discussion with Katherine
Núñez (2017), where he understands the phenomenological and spiritual
existential care; including for this a moral and ethical human action, typical of
the nursing profession, also reaching a primordial therapeutic relationship
between humans, based on respect and intersubjectivity. And the theory of
moral development of Lawrence Kohlberg (1997), considering that
psychological maturity and moral action do not necessarily parallel the
biological maturation of the human being, so that the moral conscience follows
a process of growth or maturity throughout of people's lives. Based on this,
professional praxis should be framed with the demands and transformations of
the world's health systems, therefore, training, continuous training, reflexivity
and interreflexivity on the action of its practicality should be systematic,
continuous and deep, aware that their action and interaction in a changing
sociocultural environment is crucial to offer therapeutic help, in addition to
restoring health and protecting life.
