Abstract

Objectives: to demonstrate that reflective practice may be useful as a tool to overcome the nursing identity crisis.
- To show that the gap between professional care and history is caused by the use of the positivist model.
- To show that with the General Health Law of 1986, a paradigm shift has materialized and that this paradigm describes a reflective practice.

Method: through a process of heuristic and hermeneutic reflection, postmodern and feminist approach which will attempt to achieve the objectives.
Results: the positivist model acted stiffed nursing in relation to its history. With the Health Reform of 1986 the historic reconciliation and the paradigm shift began, which caused a work based on reflective practice.
Conclusions: the schism between nursing history and scientification of care emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth century, due to the use of an inadequate model. The positivist model is shown as an inadequate model to overcome the crisis of identity. Reflective practice is considered as a vehicle to overcome the current identity crisis.
We can assert that there is a parallelism between nursing and socio-critical nursing and reflective nursing. The health care reform set the stage for the start of a reflective nursing.
