Abstract:
Theorists of the ethics and politics of care, with their feminist and intersectional analyses, have spent decades trying to leave their mark on clinical practice and political structures . In them, extensive processes of humanization of the relationship between professionals and people who need their care are required, without neglecting inequalities due to gender, social class or belonging to vulnerable minority groups that go through health and disease experiences in the community. society. It is evident that our institutions must be extensively rethought in their foundations; from nursing homes to highly technological ICUs; from the saturation of primary care to the lack of specialized personnel. In areas such as nursing, great emphasis is placed on models based on interdependence and the particular context to generate another care framework , while fighting for hierarchies and invisibilities related to highly feminized professions . Not surprisingly, the reflections that follow are signed by three women with hybrid profiles who have dedicated part of our working life to the field of primary and hospital care (both in nursing and in physiotherapy) and, in turn, to research and teaching in bioethics, philosophy and humanities. We have experienced in our flesh the contradictions between a will to serve and some axes of oppression connatural to the institutions.
