Abstract
This reflective study aimed to present some aspects of the concepts technical attainment, practical success and practical knowledge, with a view to a broader understanding of child nursing care. Health care is considered in the perspective of reconstructive practices, characterized as contingencies, highlighting the importance of the connection between technical attainment and practical success and the valuation of practical knowledge, based on philosophical hermeneutics, in the context of practical philosophy. Child health nursing can deal with technical attainment and practical success jointly, and also understand practical knowledge in the longitudinality of care. Health promotion, disease prevention, recovery and rehabilitation of child health should be indissociably associated with contextualized realities, shared between professionals and families, aiming to follow the child's growth and development, produce narratives, identify experiences, choices and decision making to broaden health care.
Highlights
Nowadays, health practices have been marked by considerable scientific and technological development, despite serious limitations to effectively respond to individuals’ and populations’ complex health needs[1]
Practical success is connected with the understanding of senses and meanings
It becomes more meaningful for effective health care to talk to the mothers/families who experience the situation of having a child with asthma: what do you think your child has, what is it like for you, how is your daily reality of prevention measures for disease management, for periodical controls at health services and medication use, how are choices and decisions being made, how are difficulties to adopt nursing orientations in home care
