The conditioning of individualization in nursing care.
Individualization in nursing consists in rational pinpointing those characteristic features of the person that single him/her out from other people. In Polish nursing, the idea of individualization, in its relatively narrow sense, has so far been identified with the process of nursing. The work has a theoretical character and its aim is to show and discuss briefly the interrelations that develop between the process of nursing, Primary Nursing and "the nursing theories". It is assumed that they are the three variables that condition providing individualized care to a single individual or a particular group of people, or in other words, it is the type of care that meets their subjective requirements. In contemporary nursing, including the nursing care, the individualization of care for a single person and/or a group of people cannot be a matter of chance. It constitutes the essence of this care, its philosophy, and that is why it requires conscious and purposeful investing, although such an approach is nothing uncommon among all social and caring sciences.
