We reflect upon the meaning of freedom and autonomy in nursing behaviour, attempting to outline the contemporary situation of nursing in Italy, where the profession is achieving important results after a long period of submission and subordination. The way to real emancipation is not easy, but a statement of law on the one hand--abolishing constraints such as the Mansionario--and professional self-regulation on the other--the recent new Deontological Code--represent a real conquest in that direction. However, no statement of law or deontology can be sufficient without deeper reflection by the profession on itself and its tasks, potentiality, social importance and self-esteem.
我们思考护理行为中自由与自主的意义,试图勾勒出意大利护理行业的现状,在经历了长期的顺从和从属之后,该行业正在取得重要成果。实现真正解放的道路并不容易,但一方面通过法律声明——废除诸如《Mansionario》之类的限制——另一方面通过专业自我监管——最近的新职业道德准则——代表了朝着那个方向的一次真正胜利。然而,如果该行业不对自身及其任务、潜力、社会重要性和自尊进行更深入的反思,任何法律声明或职业道德准则都是不够的。
