Humanization under the view of professors and university students: state of the art of nursing knowledge

Abstract

The objective of this research is to describe and analyze the results of publications on the theme of humanization related with the teaching/learning process in Nursing. This is an integrative literature review carried out in articles published in the period between 2004 and 2009, in the data base of Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and of Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Information Database (LILACS). It was found that in a time frame of six years, twenty-eight articles approached the humanization theme. However, just over one quarter was dedicated to study the subject regarding the teaching-learning process. It was concluded that it is necessary to invest in studies that deal with National Policy of Humanization in professional training development, with emphasis in government and in care practice, emphasizing the ethics matters involved in its implementation.
