ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: to develop a middle-range theory of the existential dimension of being-in-the-world of chronic kidney disease in the light of humanistic nursing theory. METHODS: exploratory-descriptive, qualitative, Grounded Theory study, whose guiding question was: what theoretical relationships can be established between clinical practice carried out in the context of renal replacement therapies and the concepts of humanistic nursing theory? Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nursing staff and chronic kidney disease patients. RESULTS: a theory was developed that describes and explains the existential dimension of being-in-the-world of chronic kidney disease, identifying the qualitative evidence present in this context. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the theory contributes to clinical nursing practice qualification in nephrology, consolidating nursing as an art and science, because it arises from care practice and research, in addition to rescuing what differentiates it within the health disciplines, which is care par excellence.

RESUMEN Objetivos: desarrollar una teoría intermedia de la dimensión existencial del estar-en-el-mundo de la enfermedad renal crónica a la luz de la teoría humanista de la enfermería. Métodos: estudio exploratorio-descriptivo, cualitativo, de Teoría Basada en Datos, cuya pregunta orientadora fue: ¿qué relaciones teóricas se pueden establecer entre la práctica clínica realizada en el contexto de las terapias de reemplazo renal y los conceptos de la teoría humanista de enfermería? Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas con personal de enfermería y pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica. Resultados: se desarrolló una teoría que describe y explica la dimensión existencial del estar-en-el-mundo de la enfermedad renal crónica, identificando la evidencia cualitativa presente en este contexto. Consideraciones Finales: la teoría contribuye a la calificación de la práctica clínica de enfermería en el contexto de la nefrología, consolidando la enfermería como arte y ciencia, porque nace de la práctica del cuidado y de la investigación, además de rescatar lo que lo diferencia dentro de las disciplinas de la salud, que es el cuidado por excelencia.
RESUMO Objetivos: desenvolver uma teoria de médio alcance da dimensão existencial do ser-no-mundo da doença renal crônica à luz da teoria humanística de enfermagem. Métodos: estudo exploratório-descritivo, qualitativo, do tipo Teoria Fundamentada em Dados, cuja questão norteadora foi: que relações teóricas podem ser estabelecidas entre a prática clínica realizada no contexto das terapias renais substitutivas e os conceitos da teoria humanística de enfermagem? Os dados foram coletados por entrevista semiestruturada com equipe de enfermagem e pacientes renais crônicos. Resultados: elaborou-se uma teoria que descreve e explica a dimensão existencial do ser-no-mundo da doença renal crônica, identificando as evidências qualitativas presentes nesse contexto. Considerações Finais: a teoria contribui para qualificação da prática clínica da enfermagem no contexto da nefrologia, consolidando a enfermagem enquanto arte e ciência, porque nasce da prática assistencial e da pesquisa, além de resgatar o que lhe diferencia dentro das disciplinas da saúde, que é o cuidado por excelência.
