Nursing
Nursing is about actions aimed at understanding and meeting a person's needs while also utilising their resources to maintain or improve their health. It involves the prevention and alleviation of illness and disease, as well as the importance of relationships and the environment on health. Nursing research delves into ethics, concepts, phenomena, and theories essential for quality care. Additionally, it aims to highlight vulnerable groups and identify the conditions necessary for sustainable, equitable, and gender-equal healthcare.
