RODRIGUEZ HERRERA, Ashley. Values: utopia or necessity for nurses. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, suppl.1, pp. 791-802. ISSN 1684-1824.

Globalization is a recent phenomenon interrelating all the countries around the world supported by scientific and technical advances. This interrelation in the economic, political and socio-cultural spheres has created a global culture that has crashed the values´ system of every country. Cuba is not out of the reach of these globalization´s negative effects. Our values´ system, formed in years of history and struggles, has created a sui generis people identified by its freedom eagerness, solidarity and internationalism. The world economic crisis has directly struck on the health professionals´ values formation in our country, especially in the case of the Nursing staff and mostly in progressive care nurses.  This motivated the design of a prospective, longitudinal study in the Teaching Pediatric Hospital ¨Eliseo N. Caamaño¨ to qualify and strengthen the whole of specific values considered ideal for a nurse. The study universe were the totality of the hospital´s nurses, and the sample was randomly formed by 60 nurses and a little comparative representation of the family companions. It was created a panel of specialists who typified the ideal moral values specific for nurses.  That way a questionnaire was elaborated with the variables that were object of study, to be applied before and after carrying out a didactic workshop on the theme. The obtained data were tabulated and compared, showing the efficacy of the project to reinforce moral values that are necessary and specific in the nursing staff.
