[Occupational health nursing: a holistic perspective].

Abstract

Occupational health nursing has a unique opportunity to identify the needs of the working population within the scope of its competences. In the different possible future of work scenarios, factors related to globalization, demographic changes, the massive use of tech - nology, the digitization of a significant number of processes, the multidisciplinary nature of the approach to worker care and some approaches close to public health, are driving a new approach to occupational health and safety, while eliciting an ethical debate. In this social, professional and occupational reality, interventions by this nursing subspecialty will need to be based on comprehensive, safe, collaborative, coordinated, quality care, focused on people and based on the best available scientific evidence.
