Entre bioética e espiritualidade: cuidado humanizado de pacientes de hospitais públicos

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present a scientific, technical and contextual approach about humanized care for patients in public hospitals, having as a starting point the bioethical and spiritual issues which surround the users of this system, the working professionals and the accompanying people. At this time, we will be investigating, filtering and building a solid and forceful analysis of the right to health, human weaknesses, the concept of integral health, scenarios in the public hospital environment and the diversity and immensity that surrounds human beings within the values. and life challenges in their social and personal context. All these assumptions will be discussed and pointed out, as well as the existing relations between bioethics and the spirituality of the individual, which act as the basis, the starting point and the balance between the patient in need, fragile and shaken by his state of illness. and the performance of the professional team, with the mission of assisting this patient fully and integrally, taking into consideration not only their physiological and pathological issues, but also the spiritual and emotional issues and the life history, which is what characterizes humanized care. In the end, as we unite bioethics and spirituality, we will realize that we will be strengthening two extremes: on the one hand, the protection of human life, which brings limits; on the other, spirituality, which brings meaning and guidance to life, especially in the face of human vulnerability in the public hospital environment. Without these extremes, we could not think of integral health, nor a model of humanized care in the public hospital service. The structure of this work will be divided into four (4) chapters, besides the conclusion, which will be interconnected and grounded in order to bring light and a new look to the reader about the proposed theme.
