Pedagogical basis of human care in nursing practice

Abstract

Care is a fundamental tool in nursing practice, which should be focused on a pedagogical practice to consolidate a university education that guarantees the development of a profile of students committed to the construction of a society in which humanism and social justice education are deprived. The coexistence of education and pedagogy for health care are of transcendental importance based on the effectiveness of the teaching, learning, method and teaching processes, where it is noted that the socio-political and cultural context strongly influence the forms of education and the reflection of their processes. After a bibliographic review on the subject, it is concluded that the pedagogical foundations are crucial in the care provided by the nursing professional, in any health situation. Nursing care is crystallized in a transcendent essence, which implies a holistically human action. The undergraduate curriculum of the health and particularly nursing sector must be consistent with the new trends of modern pedagogy to ensure the best human care.
