Objective:
This work sought to understand the meaning of humanized nursing care in the experience of participants, nurses, patients, and their relatives.
Methodology:
This was an interpretive phenomenological study based on in-depth interviews, which included 16 adult participants and was conducted in Medellín, Colombia, between December 2012 and March 2013.
Results:
The patients situation, the nurses communication skills, and the condition of both, as human beings, influence upon the words, gestures and attitudes during the nurse-patient relationship, where the presence, that which is done, and how it is done permit leaving an important impression on patients and their relatives.
Conclusion:
The interaction between patients and nurses goes through various stages until achieving the necessary empathy, compassion, affection, and familiarity to account for humanized care.
