The analysis of developped programs of Nursing Assistance given to the community has revealed the existence of merely "assistantialist" actions, which do not determine any modification in the "Status quo" and, therepore, do not cause any change in the problems presented by the group that had been attended. As an attempt at establishing a new approach to the nursing practice, it was decided hat a Kind assistance methodology should be applied, which would be capable of changing the level of social awareness on the part of the group involved. Such an experiment has been implemented in the outskirts of Salvador.
