Existential concepts and assumptions in the context of chronic kidney disease in the light of humanistic theory1
Abstract
Objectives: To identify the existential concepts and assumptions present in the context of chronic kidney disease in the light of humanistic theory of nursing. Method: Qualitative study, Data-Grounded Theory type. The field of study was the Nephrology Service of a university hospital in southern Brazil. The sample consisted of 7 nurses, 3 nursing technicians and 10 patients in Renal Replacement Therapy. Data were collected between January 2020 and January 2021, through a semi-structured interview, conducted in a virtual way through the Zoom application. Data analysis was based on existentialist philosophy and the great nursing theory, the Humanistic Nursing Theory. Results: One category was unveiled - Unveiling the beings-in-the-world of chronic kidney disease, four subcategories, which gave rise to two concepts, "being patient" and "being nursing", and two assumptions, "finding" and "worrying". Final Thoughts: The present study allowed to understand the context of the CKD world from the perspective of the humanistic theory of Paterson and Zderad, identifying, based on the data, existential concepts and assumptions in the context of CKD, thus valuing the uniqueness of the being in this context, contributing to excellent care.
