Abstract

This article offers a reflexive critical analysis of professional nurses' actions regarding the injured worker's condition. It is observed that, in the context of social relations, which are determined by the capitalist system and characterized by utilitarianism, new biases emerge which permeate our relations with those individuals. The injured are identified as incapable of work and social life. Thus, they are directly impaired in their relationships and overtly suffer from this situation. As a basic tool to help the actions of nursing professionals in view of this issue, we used the Humanistic Theory by Paterson and Zderad.
