subject

description

In the french context of nursing care teaching, this thesis aims at conceiving nursing as a process of mediation and communication notably between especially patients and care givers. The identified communication process involving values, self-identification and representation help to build up and express the caring professionalism. The background documents are organized from 5 types of data which are media focuses, caring acts, professional situation reports, life stories and monographs. These data allow the comprehension of the communication items which are used in the health care context, also the effects of the observed practice meanings and finally the care giver way of acting and relating. The carers build medical encounter and distance relationships. This is presented as the “world-body” concept. As part of the new care exercises and the nurse teaching evolution, the health care organizations are faced with strategic questionings. In order to answer those interrogations, the central concept of “communicating-care” is developed. This leads to define the care act as a meaningful and complex interaction system. This concept tries to formalize mediation areas which are specific to the building of a relevant and coherent caring professionalism as regards with looking at the new challenges in nurse care teaching.
