Abstract

The objective of this review was to describe and analyze the literature about the role of the nursing professionals in the uncertainty facing illness focusing on the middle range theory by Merle H. Mishel. This review of literature was based on a criteria defined by a 10 year period, several databases and two languages, English and Spanish. From 14 selected articles mentioned the theory of Merle H. Mishel, uncertainty in the face of illness and the role of the nursing professional before this problem. Mishel provides to nurse’s ambit a guide in the identification and the care of the uncertainty facing illness, achieving adaptation of both the individual and the family. The nurse’s role in the communication and direct accompaniment with the patient is essential to achieve a positive impact on the levels of uncertainty. Knowledge of the uncertainty about the disease provides theoretical support to the nursing staff, allowing holistic care.
