Nursing, care and science

Abstract

Nursing has always trusted in the significance of the human approach within health care. This is a deeply rooted fact that, becomes more evident in the face of the 'biologistic' approach of western, scientific medicine, which at times, can even seem somewhat insulting. In this paper we propose reflection on the theme of health care which we hope will lead to further debate on the whole question. With this in mind we shall cover various issues such as: paradigm, science reflexive modernisation, Eastern, scientific medicine, quantum physics, etc.
