La respuesta enfermera a la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 en Reino Unido: perspectivas asistenciales, profesionales, y sociales

Enrique Castro Sanchez

Resumen


Resumen

Tras más de dos años de pandemia por SARS-CoV-2, mientras los países con acceso a las diferentes vacunas reflexionan sobre la reconstrucción social a desempeñar mientras vigilan la emergencia de variantes de interés del virus, parece un momento adecuado para reflexionar sobre la respuesta ofrecida por la enfermería en su conjunto. En el Reino Unido, uno de los países proporcionalmente mas afectados por la infección, la respuesta enfermera puede evaluarse respecto a tres pilares: clínico-asistencial, profesional, y social o de abogacía de pacientes y ciudadanía, que han ofrecido luces y sombras.

Abstract

After two years of SARS-CoV-2 pandemics, whilst those countries with access to the different vaccines reflect now upon the social reconstruction required and keep a watchful eye on the emergence of viral variants, it seems this may be a good time to reflect upon the response provided by nursing globally. In the United Kingdom, one of the most affected countries, the nursing response could be appraised according to three themes: clinical, professional, and social or as advocates for patients, all off have offered successes as well as failures.
