Abstract

Objectives: to understand patients' experience of (lack of) care in hospital settings from Foucault's perspective.

Methods: this is the partial result of research using Grounded Theory as a methodological framework, in light of Michel Foucault's theoretical framework. Data collection was carried out with 30 participants.

Results: theoretical concepts "enjoying safe care" emerged, composed of subconcepts "receiving safe care" and "feeling safe to engage in care", and "identifying unsafe care", with subconcepts "recognizing risks" and "feeling insecure".

Final considerations: by amplifying patients' voice, it was possible to capture their needs and reflect on which aspects are a reference of (in)security for them. Understanding the relations of power, knowledge and discipline in hospital settings, in light of Foucault, highlighted the complexity of interactions in care provision, favoring leading role and empowering patients for their care.

（不）在医院环境中被照顾：福柯视角下的病人体验。

目的：从福柯的角度理解患者在医院环境中（缺乏）护理的经历。方法：这是根据福柯的理论框架，以扎根理论作为方法论框架的部分研究结果。对30名参与者进行了数据收集。结果：出现了“享受安全护理”的理论概念，由“接受安全护理”和“从事安全护理感到安全”的子概念和“识别不安全护理”的子概念组成，并有“认识风险”和“感到不安全”的子概念。最后的考虑：通过放大病人的声音，有可能捕捉到他们的需求，并反思哪些方面是他们的安全参考。根据福柯的观点，理解医院环境中权力、知识和纪律的关系，强调了护理提供中相互作用的复杂性，有利于主导作用，并赋予患者照顾的权力。
