Abstract:
This theoretical-reflective study investigated Identity Diversity and Nursing Care, based on materials selected from PubMed/MedLine and FurScience, providing a critical reflection on the topic. Two categories were developed: "New Identities: Their Expressions and Social Implications," which addresses the construction of social and subcultural identities in groups with common interests and how these identities influence society, and "Nursing Care from the Perspective of New Identities," which highlights the importance of knowledge about subcultures and social identities in care, especially for adolescents and young people. This understanding favors humanization, strengthens the therapeutic bond, and minimizes barriers in nursing care. The new identities are seen as dynamic sociocultural constructions, whose theoretical reflection highlights the importance of demystifying stigmas and promoting humanized care. In addition, it emphasizes nursing cultural and ethical competencies in redefining care for stigmatized people, encouraging debates in professional health training.
