Clinical care in nursing: development of a concept in the perspective of professional practice reconstruction

Nursing is a praxis that has been defined from different epistemological plans; its history is marked by constructions and deconstructions. In the course of this, the care and its clinical practice have taken on constitutions influenced by the social, economic and ideological interests of each epoch. In this text, we aimed to reflect on the construction of the conceptual plan of the nursing clinical care in a perspective that allows a change from the traditional epistemic model based in the biomedical framework and in the Cartesian model of the subject. This is a theoretical reflection in which we developed this concept, based on the conceptions adopted in the lines of research of the Academic Master's degree in Health Clinical Care of the State University of Ceara (UECE). We concluded with the presentation of the proposal of the Academic Master's degree in Clinical Care of the UECE, showing how this concept strengthens its productions in the health and nursing area.
