Resumen
OSTIGUIN-MELENDEZ, R.M. y BUSTAMANTE-EDQEN, S.. Care dimensions among mexican urban families. Enferm. univ [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.2, pp.80-89. ISSN 2395-8421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reu.2016.03.007.
The family provides support to its members in areas such as development and health maintenance. In order to provide assertive practices, health professionals should treat families as entities whose care processes are validated by their own members. Family care should be explored as a process where, the to do, the ought to do, and the being dimensions interact. The objective of the study was to explore the family care in the mexican population from its underlying dimensions.
Methods
This was a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study.
Results
Care in mexican families exposes three dimensions of care: the ethics in which the habits and virtuous attitudes of daily living propel the ought to do; the aesthetics in where the to do of care emerges from the sentiments towards the other, and ontology, which aims to rescue the being in the family care.
Conclusions
The family care has three dimensions which interact among each other: ethics, aesthetics, and ontology; the first recovers the virtuous sense of attitudes, habits, hopes, obligations which propel the ought to do of the family, the second weights the feelings as part of the family care to convey the to do of care, and the third mobilizes the being of the family to express the care of the group through its resonances.
