Abstract
La presente investigación, de enfoque cualitativo, fenomenológico y descriptivo, se llevó a cabo con el objetivo de comprender las experiencias vividas por las enfermeras de emergencia en relación con el uso de la medicina natural y tradicional en pacientes con COVID-19, en el servicio de emergencias del Hospital del Día Efrén Jurado López. La muestra estuvo conformada por 15 enfermeras, cuyos testimonios fueron analizados a través del método de saturación de datos obtenidos mediante entrevistas en profundidad, siguiendo la perspectiva teórica de Foucault (1926). Como resultado del análisis, se identificaron dos categorías principales: conocimientos de las enfermeras y prácticas relacionadas con la medicina natural y tradicional. Las subcategorías de la primera categoría incluyeron: adquisición de saberes, preparación y administración de elementos naturales. En la segunda categoría, las subcategorías fueron el uso de productos naturales, prácticas preventivas, y la combinación de medicina natural y tradicional con medicina convencional. Las enfermeras adquirieron sus conocimientos sobre medicina natural y tradicional principalmente a través de familiares, internet y medios de comunicación, y estaban familiarizadas con preparaciones como limonadas, infusiones y vaporizaciones. Finalmente, las vivencias de las enfermeras de emergencia con la medicina natural y tradicional representaron una alternativa para aquellas que lograron integrar su conocimiento científico con sus habilidades prácticas, fundamentadas en teorías, creencias y experiencias propias y de otras culturas.
This research, with a qualitative, phenomenological, and descriptive approach, was conducted with the aim of understanding the experiences of emergency nurses regarding the use of natural and traditional medicine in patients with COVID-19 in the emergency service of the Efrén Jurado López Day Hospital. The sample consisted of 15 nurses, whose testimonies were analyzed through the data saturation method obtained from in-depth interviews, following Foucault’s (1926) theoretical perspective. As a result of the analysis, two main categories were identified: nurses’ knowledge and practices related to natural and traditional medicine. The subcategories of the first category included: acquisition of knowledge, preparation, and administration of natural elements. In the second category, the subcategories were the use of natural products, preventive practices, and the combination of natural and traditional medicine with conventional medicine. The nurses acquired their knowledge of natural and traditional medicine primarily through family, the internet, and media, and were familiar with preparations such as lemonades, infusions, and vaporizations. Finally, the emergency nurses’ experiences with natural and traditional medicine represented an alternative for those who were able to integrate their scientific knowledge with practical skills, grounded in theories, beliefs, and experiences from their own and other cultures.
