MELO, Rosa Cândida de Carvalho Pereira de et al. State-of-the-art in the implementation of the Humanitude care methodology in Portugal. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.13, pp.53-62. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV17019.

Background: Humanitude is a recent term, which was used for the first time by Freddy Klopfenstein in 1980. Gineste and Marescotti have integrated this concept into the Humanitude care methodology (HCM). In Portugal, the first studies on the topic were published in 2008. Objectives: To describe the state-of-the-art in the implementation of HCM in Portugal. Methods: Descriptive study on the state-of-the-art in the implementation of HCM in Portugal. Data will be collected through a search in databases, websites, books, and interviews with key informants. Results: The implementation of HCM in Portugal is characterized by training in action, research, and organization of scientific events and publication of different types of work: 4 books, 5 scientific articles, 1 doctoral thesis, 4 Master's dissertations, and 67 presentations at scientific events. Conclusion: HCM has been implemented in Portugal through training in action, action-research, and dissemination activities. Experimental and applied research studies should be conducted in this area, and their findings should be published in national and international journals for an effective dissemination of both the produced knowledge and this methodology.
