RT Journal Article T1 A new conceptualization of the nurse–patient relationship construct as caring interaction A1 Allande Cussó, Regina A1 Siles González, José A1 Ayuso Murillo, Diego A1 Gómez Salgado, Juan AB The journey through the history of nursing, and its philosophical and political influencesof the moment, contextualizes the interest that arose about the nurse–patientrelationship after World War II. The concept has always been defined as a relationshipbut, from a phenomenological approach based on a historical, philosophical, psychologicaland sociological cosmology, it is possible to re-conceptualize it as ‘caring interaction’.Under the vision of aesthetics and sociopoetics, the object of nursing care isthe most delicate, vulnerable and unrepeatable raw material: the person, whose feelingsand reciprocity, which must be considered. In addition, it involves the adoptionof the socio-critical paradigm, as it considers the importance of actively involving theperson, not just patient anymore, or their family in the nursing cares, optimizing thereciprocity inherent to this interactivity. In short, our philosophical and epistemologicalapproach to the concept of nurse–patient relationship proposes a new conceptualizationof it as a caring interaction.
