ABSTRACT
En Chile el tema de la despenalización del aborto en sus tres causales ha abierto un nuevo horizonte de análisis y reflexión para los sectores de salud y educación en términos de formación de nuevos profesionales. Esto ha impulsado a los profesores de la Escuela de Enfermería de la Universidad Católica a reflexionar al respecto, teniendo en consideración sus valores, antecedentes históricos, el perfil del egresado de la Carrera y el marco antropológico filosófico que guía nuestro actuar como profesionales de enfermería y enfermería obstétrica. El objetivo del presente documento es compartir la postura de la Escuela de Enfermería frente al proyecto de ley que despenaliza el aborto en Chile, considerando que este es un tema complejo y controversial en todo el mundo, incluso en aquellos países en que existen leyes que lo permiten. Es por esto que como Escuela de Enfermería en la que se forman futuros profesionales que se enfrentarán a este posible escenario sanitario, se ha querido contribuir a la reflexión de este tema importante y directamente relacionado a las buenas prácticas y el cuidado de las personas. Se debe tener presente que el cuidado de enfermería, debe orientarse a velar por la vida, cuidar y tutelar a la persona en su dignidad desde el momento de la concepción, a través de todo el ciclo de vida y, sobre todo, en momentos de mayor vulnerabilidad.
In Chile, a decriminalization of abortion has been under discussion for some three years in a bill proposed. This has animated the professors of the School of Nursing of the Catholic University to reflect on this, taking into consideration their values, historical background, career profile and the philosophical anthropological framework that guides our acting as nursing professionals in the scope of good practices in the care of people. The objective of this document is to share the position of the School of Nursing in front of the bill that decriminalizes abortion in Chile, considering that this is an ethical and controversial topic worldwide, even in countries where there are laws that allow. This is why as a Nursing School in which future professionals are trained to face this possible health scenario, we wanted to contribute to the reflection of this important and complex issue. It should be borne in mind that nursing care should be oriented to care for life, to care for and protect the person in his dignity from the moment of conception, throughout the life cycle and, especially, in moments of Greater vulnerability.
