An epistemological contribution entails understanding their social environment, which will facilitate care based on their own beliefs about health or disease. It is a matter of physically putting yourself in the other person's place, in order to understand their feelings and thoughts, and especially what they have to do in their daily lives. This is an interesting approach that transcends nursing and promotes the development of the profession, through the monitoring of care related to the processes of health and life.
Un aporte epistemológico es comprender su entorno social, lo que facilitará el cuidado basado en sus propias creencias acerca de la salud o la enfermedad; es "ponerse en el cuerpo del otro" a fin de conocer su sentir, su pensar, pero sobre todo el hacer de ellos, en la vida cotidiana, un medio interesante que permite trascender a la enfermería, y promover el desarrollo de la profesión, a través del seguimiento del cuidado sobre los procesos de salud y vida.
