ARREDONDO GONZALEZ, Claudia Patricia; CUESTA BENJUMEA, María del Carmen de la e AVILA OLIVARES, José Antonio. The material world for nursing care. Index Enferm [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.1-2, pp.65-69. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1132-12962013000100014.
Nursing care takes place in variable historical and material contexts. The setting for nursing care, made of the objects and the physical space, it is called the material world for care. This is a large and flexible world where the objects, containing information, can be studied from both the material culture and the material world perspectives. The material culture aims at knowing the cultural meaning attached to objects while the material world aims at knowing the meaning in action and interaction. In the material world for nursing care, technology is any product used to satisfy a human need in hospitals, homes and other settings. The nursing role is visible as user of the objects and as designer and manager of the caring spaces. The study of this world for care will give depth to the reflection on the professional practice and the nursing disciplinary development.
