La première rencontre du corps malade en contexte de soins infirmiers : la relation de soin : une expérience ultime, du sensible au social

description

Our study focuses on nursing care with a first approach based on human body and emotions through the teaching context in the sensitive hospital environment. The nursing student is a central point of our research as he lives a unique sensitive and interpersonal experience within his own body in a social setting imbued with symbolism. He perceives health care community through his five senses which inform and direct him, but also may destabilize him. We decided to base our study on the information and communication sciences thanks to a sensitive, sensorial and symbolic problematisation and through a multidisciplinary conceptualization based on different theoretical approaches, symbolic interactionism and phenomenology. The survey enabled us to collect a data set which was crossed with the researcher’s personal archives. This has enabled us to explore the student’s experience in its perceptual and emotional as well cognitive and imaginary dimensions, without disembodying it. Within a comprehensive approach, we tried to understand the process involved in the emergence of emotions, its expressions and management when the student performs and handles for the first time body cares. Personal hygiene tasks unfold in a staging where each of the characters, caregiver and care-receiver, protect both his own image and living space. They show various performances and a high degree of role playing which are doubtlessly the most meaningful. Every sense is mustered, drawing numerous intimate and secretive feelings which lead to the emergence of many perceptions. These perceptions are exhibited and shared, or are imposed on and therefore indispose. They are a true part of nurse care History, social codes and standards, and the identity of the nurse’s role.
