Resumen
La enfermería, como profesión vocacional, se define por un profundo compromiso hacia el bienestar de los pacientes, impulsado por principios éticos y humanos. Sin embargo, en los actuales entornos sanitarios, las demandas organizacionales pueden entrar en conflicto con los valores internos que guían la profesión, como la atención centrada en la persona y la construcción de relaciones auténticas con los pacientes. Esta tensión entre la vocación profesional y las condiciones del entorno de la práctica puede generar una desconexión que afecta tanto al bienestar de las enfermeras como a la calidad de la atención que proporcionan. Factores como la falta de tiempo, la sobrecarga de trabajo y la elevada “ratio” enfermera-paciente, dificultan que las enfermeras ejerzan plenamente su vocación, lo que contribuye al aumento del malestar moral y el agotamiento. Un equilibrio adecuado entre los bienes internos de la profesión y las demandas del entorno de la práctica que valore la vocación de los profesionales y favorezca la autonomía, la colaboración interdisciplinaria y una cultura de cuidado puede mitigar el agotamiento y promover el compromiso de las enfermeras. Para ello es esencial que las organizaciones de salud adapten sus estructuras organizacionales a las características de la identidad profesional de las enfermeras, garantizando que puedan cumplir con sus fines internos.
