Abstract

AGUILA RODRIGUEZ, Narciso et al. Current challenges of the nursing profession: an ethical and bioethical approach. Medisur [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.244-255.  Epub Apr 02, 2020. ISSN 1727-897X.

In the field of public health, Bioethics became necessary due to the rapid pace of scientific and technological advances, the commercialization of medicine, the increasing danger of dehumanization, social injustice and unequal access to health services. Literature review had the purpose of assessing the dehumanization features of health services and their involvement in the formation of human resources. Concepts, trends and challenges present in the nursing profession were reviewed and in these professionals´ work. A close relationship was found between humanism, ethics, bioethics and spirituality and their meaning to increasingly improve work as health professionals and technicians. Modern nursing has the obligation to maintain the care that has accompanied humanity since its dawn, but today, constituted in a profession with scientific foundation, it has enough potential to provide more quality and efficient care to the healthy or sick individual, to the community and the natural environment.

Keywords : ethics; nursing; nursing care; bioethics.
