Rehabilitation Nursing: Methodological Construction

Abstract

Objective: based on the concepts and assertions, to create a Rehabilitation Nursing theoretical model grounded on intersubjective recognition and focused on each person's good life and diversity. Method: this is a methodological study anchored in the Theory Construction grounds described by Walker and Avant for the synthesis of a theoretical Nursing model. The synthesis seeks to organize an arrangement of concepts and assertions that allow seeing the rehabilitation relationship between the people included in the model. Results: The theoretical model was focused on the interpersonal relationship between Person and Nurse, which generates the Rehabilitation and Recognition relationships that exert a positive influence on both and enables self-fulfillment, as well as autonomous and equal participation of the rehabilitating person, thus ensuring their social good life. Conclusion: the rehabilitating person's good life can be encouraged, or even ensured, in an intersubjective recognition relationship that takes place when both nurses and the people cared for understand each other in their differences, respecting, trusting and socially valuing each other, thus strengthening human autonomy, social freedom and dignity as a result of this rehabilitation.
