“…Because this period was also a time of nursing shortage, hospital management, fearing nurse recruitment problems in AIDS care, delegated unusual latitude to nurses in developing models for inpatient AIDS care.

“…O caso da Aids marcou um ponto de inflexão nos EUA e no Canadá e logo em outros países: os depoimentos de doentes terminais, durante a década de 1980, expressavam justamente o apreço pela mão que cuida (the caring hand), isto é, o 'toque humano' das equipes de enfermagem e visitadoras voluntárias, que marcavam sua presença de um modo diferente da equipe médica e de especialistas (Fox, Aiken, Messikomer, 1999).
