    En chemin vers un horizon éthiquement désirable
    • 2nd Edition
    • Walter Hesbeen
    • French
    Si nombre de belles réalisations sur le plan humain, au sein du système de soins et du secteur médico-social, peuvent être observées – et devraient être davantage valorisées –, les difficultés structurelles qui s’y rencontrent sont aujourd’hui unanimement reconnues. Lorsque les difficultés sont structurelles, les réponses ne peuvent pas être conjoncturelles. Il s’agit dès lors de revenir aux fondamentaux des différents métiers de la relation à l’humain et en conséquence de redéfinir la fonction d’encadrement des professionnels. Il importe aussi de repenser l’organisation des diverses formes de pratiques ainsi que le management des équipes.Une telle redéfinition, en tenant compte de ce qui « fait fondation » à ces métiers, s’appuie sur l’humble conscience que son but principal n’est pas d’aboutir au changement, mais de se mettre en chemin pour s’en rapprocher en visant un horizon éthiquement désirable. Évoquer un horizon, c’est mettre en lumière que le défi à relever par les responsables, qu’ils soient décideurs, directeurs, cadres, chefs de service ou autres, est avant tout de mettre en œuvre des organisations aidantes et apaisantes, propices à des pratiques humaines humanisantes et dotées de justes moyens équitablement répartis.Dans ce contexte, la fonction prioritaire des cadres n’est pas celle de gérer, d’organiser, ni même de manager, mais bien d’animer la vie de l’esprit qui oriente les réflexions et les actions des professionnels composant une équipe. Telle est la condition de l’émergence et de la culture d’un climat éthique au sein d’un service, dont les effets peuvent se percevoir dans toutes les activités et missions des cadres. C’est ce qui confère la valeur humaine ajoutée de leur fonction pour la pratique quotidienne des professionnels, mais aussi pour le bien-être de la population, dans une mission de santé publique. Veiller à l’atmosphère d’humanité qui peut imprégner la vie d’un service ou d’un établissement permet de régénérer le sens des fonctions d’encadrement et de ressentir la satisfaction de les exercer.Walter Hesbeen, infirmier de formation et docteur en santé publique, est professeur à la Faculté de santé publique de l’UCLouvain (Belgique) et responsable pédagogique du Groupe francophone d’études et de formations en éthique de la relation de soin (GEFERS, Paris-Bruxelles). Il est également rédacteur en chef de la revue Perspective soignante.

Comme pour tous les autres ouvrages de la collection, ces ECOS sont conformes aux recommandations de rédaction et de présentation de la R2C mais ne se veulent pas des références opposables. Ils ont été créés pour offrir un support d’entraînement et des opportunités pour apprendre grâce aux mises en situation pratique qu’ils proposent mais ils ne constituent pas la référence. Cet ouvrage est le fruit du travail collectif de membres du CNECMF (Collège national des enseignants de chirurgie maxillo-faciale).
