Collective consultation of growth and development of the child the light of the theory of Peplau

Abstract

This study aims to reflect about the collective consultation of growth and development of the child from the application of the interpersonal relationship theory of Hildegard Peplau, which has as its centerpiece the interpersonal process between nurse and patient. - Reflections about the existing relationship between the phases proposed by the theory and the moments of realization of the accompaniment of collective consultations, of the growth and development of the child were woven. Through the establishment of interpersonal relationship, nurses and family/caregiver, learn to work together to resolve the difficulties inherent in the child care process. Given this reality, it can be concluded that through interpersonal relationship, that is established in the accompaniment of collective consultations of child growth and development, there is an approximation between the professional team and those involved in the process, becoming, these subjects, empowered of knowledge and able to promote a full care to the child.
