“…Debido a los avances tecnológicos, los roles de enfermería tenderán a cambiar el cuidado del cuerpo humano por el cuidado del alma y el espíritu de los seres humanos; en otras palabras, la tecnología curará el cuerpo, mientras las enfermeras cuidarán al ser humano como un ser compuesto por cuerpo, alma y espíritu. 49 Muchas teorías 14,33,46,50 describen la esencia de la enfermería como relacional, el cuidado seguirá siendo un encuentro entre los seres humanos con énfasis en la ética del cuidado, la compasión y el imperativo moral de ser fieles a nuestros valores, y así lograr transformación en la asistencia sanitaria. 33 King 50 dice que cuando los seres humanos (enfermera-paciente) interactúan, se comunican y establecen metas la tecnología robótica no tiene cabida, ya que nada puede reemplazar la interacción humana.…”

Nursing care international trends, which are changing in an unexpected pace internationally, are discussed in the article. Aging, urbanization and globalization consequences accelerate the propagation of transmissible diseases worldwide, and increase the load of chronic and degenerative diseases. Health care systems contexts, every time more complex, are concerned about increases in the sanitary expenses, disparity in the health care attention and short stance hospitalization. Health care users in the future will be mostly over 65 years old, with multisystem and chronic diagnosis, with more knowledge about health, disease and the score systems of health care providers. Nursing, health care team axis will be characterized by professionals’ scarcity in a highly technological context, in which care will be based on the interpersonal multi paradigm relationship of scientific research, with a real tendency to standard care. As a discipline, nursing will keep strengthening its body knowledge. Nursing autonomy will be of great transcendence, developing own responsibilities and assuring care management.

“…Nurses are innovating health care delivery and improving access to preventive services by implementing community-based education and wellness programs. Using a future-oriented theory of human caring (Bent, Moscatel, Baize, & McCabe, 2007), nurses are working to develop independent practices and create new nurse-led, multi-disciplinary models of care delivery. The potential for YD research to take place within a NMHC model (Ferrari & Rideout, 2005) would be significant, as this type of model would be supportive of a community/familybased primary prevention intervention that uses complementary and supportive therapies to allay symptoms of MetS and subsequent sequelae.…”

Dance/Modified Yoga: A Health Strategy for African-American Women at Risk for Chronic Diseases

African-American (AA) women are the segment of the population that experiences the highest incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Yoga has been shown to decrease the risk of MetS, yet there have been no yoga studies of AA women with or at risk for MetS. The purpose of this 4week study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored, Internet-based intervention, yogic dance (YD), using digital videos in a sample of AA women (ages 35-64) at risk for MetS. The study examined (a) the rates of participant eligibility, accrual, attrition, and reasons for attrition; (b) the feasibility of using the Internet to assess study participation and to deliver the intervention; (c) the acceptability of the structured intervention; and (d) any other benefits and/or limitations of the intervention. The study used a single-group, mixed-methods design underpinned by social constructivist theory and Pender's Health Promotion Model. Twenty-four study participants were recruited and completed the study. After completing inperson screening and baseline measures using the Pre-Screening Checklist, Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, Eligibility Screening Checklist, Individual Characteristics Form, and Internet-based International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), consented participants engaged in the 4-week Internet-based YD video intervention. After the 4-week YD intervention, participants were invited to participate in one of two audiotaped focus groups to voice their perceptions of barriers to and benefits from YD and the acceptability of using the YD intervention. In addition, data derived from the rates of participant eligibility, accrual, attrition, and the number of completed study measures were calculated. Focus group data were analyzed using content/thematic analysis and matched with themes from write-in responses to paper surveys. The majority (86%) of the women in the study found YD feasible as a complementary, health enhancing modality. Themes that emerged from the focus groups included: (a) stress is iii both a motivator for and a barrier to participating in more YD; (b) social support is an important mediator for YD; and (c) cultural dance favorably enhances the YD experience. The integrated results from this mixed-methods study will form the foundation for a program of research exploring the complex determinants that influence health promotion behaviors in AA women.

Occupational Health Nursing Practice through the Human Caring Lens

Controversy exists over the emphasis of "nursing" versus "public health" foundations of occupational health nursing. It is recognized that practice draws from many theoretical perspectives. The author found that caring theory struck a chord in re-affirming that relationships and connectedness with others form the underlying basis of her profession.Nurses use skills, experience, and intuition to deliver safe care. Watson calls skills, experience, and intuition the "trim," much like a sailor trimming a sail. The nurse also uses standards, guidelines, policies, procedures, and monitoring equipment to guide nursing decisions. Much of what the nurse does is shaped by theory. Like the sail-or's chart course, theory provides direction and purpose, guiding and inspiring nurses' thoughts and actions. This is called the "core" by Watson, the basic operating system of the nurse-person relationship. humAN CAriNg theory DefiNeDCaring includes physical, psychological, cultural, spiritual, and existential aspects. Caring science moves nurses from rigid health care doctrines to meaningful patterns and new insights of human caring, the central focus. The theory supports a new direction: developing preventive rather than reactive approaches to health problems. Watson (2005) describes caring science as a "model that allows us to approach the sacred in our caring-healing work" (p. xi).Caring science promotes an interpersonal relationship based on respect, mutual learning, and giving and taking. In looking ahead to the future of nursing, Bent, Moscatel, Baize, and McCabe (2007) state that "nurses will remain the only practice to meet patients in their abstraCt Many health care and academic centers have adopted Watson's Theory of Human Caring as their guiding principle; the theory is also used in other disciplines, such as library science. Human caring theory offers occupational health nurses a structure that not only defines a focus for practice, but also provides a basis for moral and philosophical practice analyses. In particular, nurses may find this theory useful in confirming the definition of "caring" and reconsidering what nursing is all about. More importantly, consideration and application of this theory may lead to research on its applicability to the field of occupational health nursing. This article presents the science and philosophy of human caring, specifically Watson's Theory of Human Caring. Two case studies are presented that demonstrate how the theory could be used to evaluate occupational health nursing practice. To demonstrate its possible relevance as an occupational health nursing framework, an analysis of and comparison to existing occupational health nursing guidelines are detailed and discussed.
