The aim of this paper is to propose a reflection about the care in Brazilian nursing considering some theorists. For doing so, we have started with a discussion about the anglo saxon concept of care and possible translations into Portuguese language. After this, some authors who have theoretically subsidized some scientific productions in healthcare and specifically in Brazilian nursing are introduced. Within this analysis, the presence of different ways of thinking nursing care were identified, but in relation to the concept of care, as it has been proposed in France, there are not too many studies and scientific research. However, despite the limitation of academic research about care in health area, particularly in Brazilian nursing, it is possible to observe that its conceptual assumptions tangent certain bets made in some health policies such as the National Humanization Policy and the Health Continuing Education Policy, as well as in the organization of the Unified Health System, that focus on the integrality of patient care. |
