Humane care in the public hospital setting: nurses’ perspective
Abstract
In 2003, the Brazilian Ministry of Health created a public policy focused on humane care, the National Humanization Policy (NHP). This policy should be implemented in all actions of health promotion, thus changing the traditional model of health management and care. The NHP should also strengthen shared management practices in the health work process and eventually meet the needs of health professionals and users of public health care in Brazil
