[Nursing care of propedeutic and therapeutic nature and its interface with other professional actions]

This paper is based on a qualitative research, with an approach based on phenomenological hermeneutics. Its aim is to understand the singularities of nursing therapeutic and propedeutic care actions and their interfaces with the actions of other professionals. The participants are five nurses from the Trauma Intensive Care Unit of an university hospital. The data has been collected through semi-structured interviews and has been analyzed according to Ricoeur's hermeneutics. The understanding of what has been shown by the participants, concerning the meaning of care actions, presented five distinct categories: organization of the caring environment; expressiveness of being; development of educative actions; systematization of care and interfaces of care.
