[The human condition in treatment: a focus for nursing education].
Throughout human history, knowledge and customs how to care for life have been a consubstantial part of human growth and have conformed to the culture transmitted by parents to children, their anthropological evolution and the meaning which folklore give it. This dimension of the phenomenon has been described by the most erudite as the art of caring. This character of daily familiarity at times confuses those who continue thinking that educating in caretaking is limited to the scope of convenience and the family, to intimate personal circles, far away from conforming to specific knowledge tied to the nursing profession. We can accept the evidence that all humans know how to care for ourselves and to care for our loved ones, but that does not mean we have to deny the scientific character of this activity.
