ABSTRACT
Introduction: Caring means mobilizing the capacities of the human being in a state of health or illness, considering his/her customs. It demands that the caregiver develop skills of perception, understanding, cleverness, inventiveness and creativity. The experiences gathered by the author allowed her to identify, empirically, that not all the care provided by the community nurse is recorded and, therefore, made visible.Objective: To identify the visibility of social actors concerning the care provided by the community nurse specialist to the person, family or the community.
Methods: Qualitative-descriptive research carried out, during 2019, in the family doctor and nurse’s office number 23 of Plaza de la Revolución Polyclinic, Havana. The universe was 1080 people. By nonparametric sampling (saturation criterion or redundancy), 43 people were selected. Documentary analysis and a semistructured group interview with social actors from the community were used. The inquiries obtained were processed through content analysis applied to the data.
Results: Based on what the participants expressed, the social actors recognize the actions carried out by the community nurse regarding healthcare of patients and their family members. Among the criteria expressed about perceived care, the following were relevant: blood pressure measurement and home visit.
Conclusion: Cares were evidenced that allowed them to put into practice everything that they learned and use the knowledge and techniques of the profession as part of healthcare, which guarantees that they perform through responsible and committed professional acts with a humanistic approach.
