Abstract

The humanisation of healthcare has been preferably studied from the perspective of the experience of the person receiving the care, from the perspective of the family or from the isolated contribution of the different professionals. Now, in an interdisciplinary professional setting, we cannot obviate the contribution that the relational nature of team work provides to the configuration of care. This paper shows the path followed by the evolution of this interdisciplinary relationship in the healthcare setting and its influence on the humanisation of care. The transit from one relational model based on hierarchy towards a collaboration model, adds humanistic values to the biomedical paradigm and contributes, with it, to humanise care.
