DENIS TORRES, Roselvia. Application of the Florence Nightingale Theory in health services in Cuba. Multimed [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.5  Epub Oct 20, 2021. ISSN 1028-4818.

The philosophical thought of Florence Nightingale is still valid in our times and, to be able to enter it successfully, it is necessary to know how it emerged and evolved through history. The originality of the Nightingale project gave a new guideline to the science of caring for the human being, in addition to differentiating what nursing medicine was, it conceived that the nurses themselves trained nursing students through specific training programs, emphasizing both hospital and extra-hospital nursing interventions for the maintenance and prevention of health, both for the individual and for the families. The philosophical conception of Nigtingale in the Cuban health services and its repercussion on the patient are a source of study for the training of new nursing professionals. The universalization and timelessness of its concepts even today can be extended to all hospital facilities today.
