Abstract
Medicine today is a field of permanent tensions: between structures and individuals, between public policies and individualised patient care, and between patients and their therapists. This article reflects on the notion of care as a way of resolving the problems encountered by health professions by considering one of their fundamental concepts. For this purpose, research was carried out in the medical literature in order to understand the definitions in which care is discussed in current medicine. Based on the findings, three paradigms or constructs related to the notion of care are detailed: a) Patient Centered Care, b) the ethics of care, and c) the idea of Whole Person Care. Even with the notable differences between these constructs, it is possible to rescue the framework of care: the objective being for the good of the patient. Thus, a proposal for the reflection on caring for others is developed, based on what is the concept of ″objective good for the person″ in accordance with the thinking of the philosopher Dietrich von Hildebrand.
今天的医学是一个永远紧张的领域:在结构和个人之间,在公共政策和个性化的病人护理之间,在病人和他们的治疗师之间。本文通过考虑其基本概念之一,反映了作为解决卫生专业人员遇到的问题的一种方式的护理概念。为此目的,在医学文献中进行了研究,以了解当前医学中讨论护理的定义。在此基础上,详细介绍了与护理概念相关的三种范式或结构:a)以患者为中心的护理,b)护理伦理,c)全人护理的理念。即使这些结构之间存在显著差异,也有可能挽救护理框架:目标是为了患者的利益。因此,根据哲学家迪特里希·冯·希尔德布兰德(Dietrich von Hildebrand)的思想,在″对人客观有益″的概念的基础上,提出了对关爱他人进行反思的建议。
