Abstract
Introduction: In the current socio-economic context, there are adverse working conditions and precarization of labor in the Health Sector. That propitiates caring to be practiced in an environment of pauperization. This study aimed at understanding and interpreting the way those working conditions of the Nursing professionals perturb their quality of life and human development.
Method: This is a qualitative-descriptive and grounded-theory research. Results: They come from two emerging categories: The human value, which is deconstructed because of the precarization of the Nursing labor, and (b) human development and quality of life of the Nursing professionals, which stand between deprivation and potentialities.
To such degree, it is understood how the caring practice is undergone in the current labor conditions, in a socio-economic context that delegitimizes the rights of such workers —because of the flexibilization of labor— and the manner this context recreates or represses satisfiers and opportunities for the human development and quality of life of the Nursing professionals.
