• Resumen

  • The concept of altruism has been viewed or defined as a professional value of the nursing discipline. The author in this column begins a discussion of its philosophical origins as a normative bioethical concept with implications for the term�s current usage in practice and teaching-learning contexts. Alternative views, potential definitions, and meanings from a nursing theoretical perspective are explored.
