Sentidos de la bioética que emergen en un contexto intercultural: Una aproximación desde la teoría fundamentada

Abstract

This study focuses on the education of future nursing professionals in order to know how bioethical training is experienced in an intercultural context such as the department of Cauca in Colombia. There were teachers and students from the Universidad del Cauca, as well as professionals working at the Mama Dominga Hospital in the town of Silvia. For this, a qualitative design, epistemic approach to hermeneutics and analysis was carried out through grounded theory. The information was obtained through documentary review, participant observation, individual and group interviews (focus group). It was found that, although the documents pose an epistemic and ontological opening towards a vision that considers the human being, its culture and its context, starting from bioethical and intercultural perspectives, the discourses in practice show that there is a colonization of being and knowing in training where only the technical and biological knowledge is privileged. The actors themselves have proposed ways to overcome this problem from their speeches, focusing mainly on pedagogical reflection as a starting point to resignify the curriculum.
