Challenges for Nursing in Future Trends and Developments

Sandra Xavier and Lucilia Nunes

A chapter in Nursing - Trends and Developments from IntechOpen

Abstract: Nurses based on a fundamental moral value which is the interest of the person--therefore, actions and interventions must take into account the needs and interests of the Other. This chapter discusses four challenges, moving from nursing epistemology to research-based practices. It is necessary to emphasize knowledge to establish a robust connection between the nurses' fields of activity. We also discuss the challenges associated with technology in learning and teaching, in telenursing or clinical nursing. The third choice we made is to enrich the development of emotional skills by sharing components and dimensions. The emotional competence was first studied in a clinical context before being extrapolated to teaching and management. To be more precise, emotional competence belongs to the subject himself as the first resource. In the fourth challenge, the environment and the world are seen from a broader perspective. We question whether improving literacy is relevant to empowering people and citizens to promote and fight for safe care and a sustainable and peaceful environment in the context of "One Health" and "One Ethics." These four trends are both challenges and horizons. Furthermore, as we approach any horizon, it gets closer until we reach a new starting point.
