Estereotipos en enfermería según la percepción de los pacientes

Abstract

Introduction The social image of a profession is conditioned by the way in which its features
and qualities are produced and reproduced, among other things, in different media. Objective
To establish how the care of nurses with transformations in body image perceive the patients
between 18-35 years and 36 or more years admitted to the Aconcagua sanatorium and the
Hospital Nacional de Clínicas de la Ciudad de Córdoba, first 2019 semester. For Watson
(2005), the care perception scheme is unique in each person and is built on the basis of previous
experiences, sensations, feelings. Methodo: quantitative descriptive cross-sectional research.
The variables under study are feelings, sensations and previous experiences in relation to
the care provided. Population constituted by 100 patients, from the hospitalization service
of two health institutions, who were assisted during their hospitalization period, by nursing
personnel with tattoos, piercings and dreadlocks in the first semester of 2019. Source: primary;
technique: survey; instrument: interview card. Results and Discussion according to Troncoso
& Suazo (2011), the human personality is sensitive to the attitudes of others, for which its
behavior will be rewarded if it agrees with the subsystem or punished if it deviates from it,
as is the use of tattoos, piercings and unconventional hair in nurses. The feelings variable
showed 60% conformity. In previous experiences, satisfaction was 68% in the youngest group.
Positive feelings occupied 73% in the 18-35 age group. Conclusions The perception of patients
who receive care from nurses with body modifications generates acceptance in general lines,
highlighting their greatest followers among those interviewed belonging to the youngest age
group.
