Study Notes
Theory of Nursing as Caring: A Holistic Approach to Nursing Practice
- Core Principle: All humans are inherently caring beings, and expressing this innate caring nature is an ongoing process.
Theoretical Foundations
-
Draws Inspiration From:
- Paterson & Zderad’s Existential Phenomenological Theory: Emphasizes the "between" in nursing relationships, the "call for nursing," the "response" to that call, and "personhood."
- Simone Roach’s 6 C’s of Caring: Commitment, confidence, conscience, competence, compassion, and comportment.
- Milton Meyeroff’s 8 Ingredients of Caring: Knowing, alternating rhythms, patience, honesty, trust, humility, hope, and courage.
Major Concepts & Definitions
- Focus & Intentions of Nursing: The theory's focus is nurturing persons living and growing in caring; the intention is to understand people as caring individuals and provide support to sustain them in their caring lives.
- Caring: Defined as the "intentional and authentic presence of the nurse with another who is recognized as living in caring and growing in caring." It is a lived moment-to-moment experience and central to being human.
- Person as Caring: The theory suggests caring is an inherent element of being human, constantly unfolding. Even if every action isn't perceived as caring, every individual possesses caring potential.
- Nursing Situation: The shared, lived experience where caring between nurse and nursed enhances personhood. This is the context within which nursing care is practiced.
- Direct Invitation: The "call for nursing" that arises within the nursing situation, prompting the nurse to respond to the patient's needs.
- The "Caring Between": Nurses understand the individual as someone living in caring and acknowledge the "caring between" the nurse and the individual being cared for. This interaction nurtures personhood and fosters a growth of caring for both.
- Nursing Response: In responding to the call for caring, nurses engage with the situation with the intention of knowing the individual’s caring nature. The response is unique and tailored to each moment—not a predefined protocol.
- Dance of Caring Persons: An analogy representing the dynamic and reciprocal nature of the caring relationship. Every person involved in the care (nurses, administrators, etc.) contributes to the well-being of the individual being cared for.
- Personhood: A process of living grounded in caring; it involves being authentic, aligning beliefs with actions, and living out one's life's meaning. Personhood is enhanced through nurturing relationships with caring others.
Major Assumptions
- Persons are Caring by Virtue of Their Humanness: Being human inherently involves caring, which is expressed through thoughts, actions, and relationships.
- Persons are Whole and Complete in the Moment: Each person is complete and whole throughout life, acknowledging the complexity of individuals without reducing them to their perceived limitations.
- Persons Live Caring Moment to Moment: Caring is a continuous process of growth and development throughout life.
- Personhood is Living Life Grounded in Caring: Individuals are recognized as caring and are empowered to live and grow in caring through their relationships with others.
- Personhood is Enhanced Through Participating in Nurturing Relationships with Caring Others: Nurturing relationships and recognizing the individual as a whole person are crucial for the development of personhood.
- Nursing is Both a Discipline and a Profession: Nursing encompasses scientific knowledge, practical skills, and a commitment to caring. It is a human science that acknowledges the complexities of caring in all its forms.
