Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to apprehend the meaning of nursing care as the product of multiple human interactions within the context of hospital nursing care. The Grounded Theory was used as a methodological referential. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview with eighteen informants, being six nurses, six nursing technicians and six relatives of admitted patients encompassing three sample groups. Data analysis was performed up to the Theoretical Codification, leading to the identification of the conceptual category "caring about the other", representative of the nursing meaning as the product of multiple human interactions that broadens the dimension of care beyond non-flexible and mechanical practices evolving from the excessive order and routine determined by the traditional doing.
