This article aims to reflect on the humanistic
functioning of the nurse in the inter ventions with nociceptive,
somatic pain in children. To this end a qualitative descriptive
study was undertaken, directed and discussed in accordance
with Husserlian phenomenology. Ethical-legal aspects were
taken into consideration, inter views being held with 10 nurses
who are specialists in the area of burns. The relevant data were
selected through the colorimetric technique, so as to later
undertake content analysis. The results revealed the nurse to
be a professional who acts affectively in situations of distress
and sadness, protecting the child patient empathetically. In
addition, it is possible to perceive that non-pharmacological
therapies, such as play therapy, laughter therapy, music
therapy, relaxation exercises, breathing exercises, and
psychological support are coadjuvant in combating pain. At
the end of the study, it is reflected that the nurse’s inter vention
is highly humanistic, and it is shown that pain must be treated
by professionals with great sensitivity, so as to promote highly
humane care.
