Humanization in nursing care: acting with respect in a school hospital

The purpose of the present study was to verify the hospital routine aspects in which nurses see bioethic principles when giving attendance and verify in which situations the nurse understands that the respect concept is connected to their routine. An exploratory, decriptive and qualitative approach research was performed with 18. The categories found were: The interference of bioethic principles in the nursing practice; How to respect the patient despite the hospital routines; How to render care to the patient in a humanized way and How to put into practice the humanization theory. We concluded that nurses understand that the bioethic principles help them in their daily nursing routine because they can orient themselves in their actions, making respect to the patient happen very naturally. However, nurses also understand that the principles can have their link hindered by their own Hospital rules.
