Abstract

We need to take a critical look at our practices and the relationships we construct in our personal and professional life, with a view to leading a life guided by ethics. In this text, we discuss governability practices that are built in the relations between health and especially nursing professionals, with the health institutions, with the clients and with the nursing profession. We conclude that, for persons to deliver care and guide others, like nurses do in their practice, they first need to demonstrate that they can guide themselves, that they know the limits of their practice and can respect the other as someone different from themselves.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
 Authors are fully responsible for the concepts disseminated in their manuscripts, which do not necessarily reflect the editors’ and editorial board’s opinion.
