Comprehensive approach of nursing: possibility of interpretation based on alfred schutz

Abstract

Objective: To reflect about the comprehensive approach of nursing based on the theoretical framework of Alfred Schutz. Method: A theoretical essay from the comprehensive phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schutz. Results: Reflections are made on the interpretation of nursing care based on the key concepts of Schutz, with special reference to the care based on the other's typification, which recognizes the everyday lives of individuals, seeking intersubjectivity and establishing a face to face relationship. It reflects, still, about the reasons-for and reasons-why of nursing practice. Conclusion: It is concluded that the typification of nursing practices is reflected in the understanding of an essentially complex profession that is based on care as the main element of its practices.
