TORRES ESPERON, Julia M.    URBINA LAZA, Omayda. Professional profiles, functions and competences of the nursing personnel in Cuba Professional profiles, functions and competences of the nursing personnel in Cuba. []. , 20, 1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0864-2141.

The results of two researches conducted by the authors of these articles: “Methodological proposal of the functions of the technical and university nursing personnel at the primary and secondary health care levels” and “Evaluation of the specific competences in the nursing personnel working in Neonatology” were used. Starting from them, a descriptive study was undertaken to describe the competences and abilities corresponding to the functions of the nursing personnel according to their training level. To this end, 5 joint working sessions were held between the two authors, as well as 2 workshops with experts, one at the provincial level and other at the national level. Theoretical models as the analysis, the synthesis, the historical-logical method and the meta-analysis were used. An account of the functions of the nursing personnel in accordance with their training level, and of the competences and abilities of each of them served as a basis to review the curricular design of the career so that it fulfils its social task.
