Abstract
This article explores the evolution of the concept of presence as a therapeutic and care measure in nursing from 1962 to the present. The findings are derived from an extensive bibliographic search conducted through documentary sources such as PubMed and Google Scholar, utilizing and interlinking descriptors including "nursing," "presence," "care," "intentionality," "humanization," and "concept." The results reveal a progressive refinement and enrichment of the concept of presence, culminating in recent developments that emphasize an intentional perspective, which seeks to enhance the human, integral, and ethical dimensions of health relationships. Intentional Presence represents a novel approach to accompaniment and care, which has become fundamental in holistic nursing, fostering a deeper and more human connection between nurse and patient, leading to more comprehensive and meaningful care.
期刊介绍:
Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
