Caring for the self, for another, and for "us" within a complexity perspective

This study is an experience report of a reflective practice developed with nursing professionals in a public hospital in Santa Catarina, Brazil about the problem of relationships in caring for one's self, another, and for "us", in different dimensions, within the perspective of the Complexity paradigm. Five workshops were organized and carried out, encompassing three meetings each, with previously chosen themes. From the systematic analysis of the participants' speech content, some units of meaning emerged. This practice brought comprehension concerning established iterations and associations in the I-other-us relationship closer together, as human beings, in the I-other-us-environment relationship, and in the relationship each human being has with him/herself, based on the mobilization/undulations/private and reciprocal exchanges of living and living with others in a complex world/scenario.
