Descripción
Sumario:This study aimed at knowing and understanding the meanings and perceptions of the enterostomal therapist (ET) about this specialty, using the methodological framework of Social Representation Theory. Three major Units were identified: the ET as a professional, the ET and the client, the ET as a person from an analysis of 12 ET's discourse. In relation to Enterostomal therapy, mainly positive representations were identified among nurses, such as: valorization, recognition, remuneration, promotion, satisfaction, ambition, professional prominence, improvement of care quality and client safety. On the other hand, demands and lack of recognition emerged as negative representations. These representations indicate specialty as an important dimension in professional evolution, a fact that has positively influenced the career of the nurse and that of the Enterostomal Therapist in particular. The ET's construct their existence, write their own history, driven towards autonomous and credible action, which allows them to conquer their space and give a new meaning to care - the basis of Nursing art and science.
