title: [The compassionate care approach within an institutional framework].
abstract: The motivations for promoting a policy for the implementation of a compassionate care approach in the nursing sector appear commendable and respectable. The relatively recent notion of compassionate care seems to be accepted as long as it is used consensually. What is the meaning of compassionate care? Which benchmarks should be used for its implementation within a health institution?
