HUMAN BEING ▪ She adopts a view of the human being as a valued person in and of him or herself to be cared for respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted. In general, a philosophical view of a person as fully functional integrated self. ▪ Human as greater than and different from, the sum of his parts. 2. HEALTH ▪ Refers to unity and harmony within mind ▪ Combination of body, mind, and soul. ▪ Watson believes that there are other factors that are needed to be included in the world health organization (WHO) definition of health. She adds the following elements: ▪ A high level of overall physical, mental and social functioning ▪ A general adaptive - maintenance level of daily functioning ▪ The absence of illness (or the presence of efforts that leads its absence) 3. ENVIRONMENT / SOCIETY ▪ According to Watson caring (and nursing) has existed in every society. A caring attitude is not transmitted from generation to generation. It is transmitted by the culture of the profession as a unique way of coping with its environment. ▪ Provides the values that determine how one should behave and what goals one should strive toward. 4. NURSING ▪ “Nursing is concerned with promoting health, preventing illness, caring for the sick and restoring health” ▪ It focuses on health promotion and treatment of disease. She believes that holistic care is central to the practice of caring in nursing. ▪ Watson’s defined nursing as- a human science of persons and human health- illness experiences that are mediated by professional, personal, scientific, esthetic and ethical human transaction. 3.
