Abstract
ROMERO-DE SAN PIO, Emilia and GRUPO DE INVESTIGACION EN BIOETICA DEL HOSPITAL UNIVERSITARIO CENTRAL DE ASTURIAS et al. Reflections on the concept of human dignity in the health field. Temperamentvm [online]. 2021, vol.17, e13038. Epub Jan 27, 2023. ISSN 1699-6011.
The value of the human being is born from his own nature as such and not from the circumstances, therefore, the concept of dignity materializes as the main element to take into account during the care relationship process. The concept of dignity and its meaning has evolved to the beat of the times and to the change of mentality and evolution of human thought and it is necessary to make a historical journey through the evolution of such a concept in order to fully encompass its meaning, importance and concept.
