Umanizzazione delle cure: innovazione e modello assistenziale
The contemporary social context shows a profound need to bring healthcare back to a meeting between the technical organizational needs of the system and the needs for global understanding of the patient. The passage from the "patient" vision to a "person" perspective is the radical request for paradigmatic and operational change to be implemented to respond to new needs, trends and socio cultural changes. Recent literature shows that the Newtonian Cartesian reduction of the human being to biomachine, which still resists the culture and unconscious of many health professionals, is no longer justified from a scientific point of view. The conceptual model, the framework of the most advanced sciences is the holistic one. This model lays the foundations for a better understanding of the functioning of the human being and consequently for a new epistemological and anthropological vision, that of the bio psycho socio cultural network, where interaction with the environmental context influences the feedback of this system. It seems fundamental to start a structured path of synergy between the humanization of care and its gradual implementation, for the improvement of the quality of life of nephrological patients and for a new clinical assistance background for the health workers who work daily in nephrology, dialysis and transplantation.
