Abstract:

Increasingly complex occupational demands along with varied educational and personal examples of caring, may impact the ability to deeply connect with patients. Literature has identified that nurses and patients have differing perceptions of caring behaviors. Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring provides a framework for care delivery that focuses on the caring nurse–patient relationship and the experience through the patients' lens.Caring healing relationships are at the core of professional nursing. The purpose of this project was to design and deliver an educational seminar based on Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring to newly graduated nurses to examine the impact on self-efficacy in caring behaviors.The project participants (N = 56) consisted of a nonprobability convenience sample of newly graduated nurses at a local faith-based community hospital. The educational intervention consisted of experiential learning activities to facilitate translating theory to practice. The study utilized the Caring Efficacy Scale (CES), which is an instrument based on Watson's caring theory and Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in caring efficacy between the preintervention (M = 5.1, SD = .47), and immediate post intervention (M = 5.5, SD = .38); t (52) = −9.09, p = .000.The knowledge from this study could provide insights for the development of effective teaching strategies to facilitate translating nursing theory to practice. Establishing and developing skills to facilitate nurturing, caring nurse–patient relationships may enhance both the patient and caregiver experience.

Abstract:

This article reviewed 19 intervention studies based on Watson's Human Caring Theory between January 2005 and February 2018. The studies reviewed targeted on promoting patients', nurses', and nursing students' psychological health and patient care experiences. Most (15/19; 78.95%) of the studies in this review indicated that Watson's caring science-based interventions could decrease patients' emotional strains, increase patients' self-management confidence and emotional well-being, increase nurses' job satisfaction and engagement, and improve nursing students' confidence in the clinical performance and the awareness of caring behaviors. Nursing is a discipline that requires both scientific knowledge and the art of human caring.

Abstract:

Loss is a fundamental human experience, and with loss comes grief. Healthcare's fast-paced, high-tech, professional environment is juxtaposed to the human caring focus of the nursing profession. Providing nurses with a theoretical context for working with people dealing with loss and grief will help nurses to provide care to those in need. By employing the three major conceptual elements of Watson's Theory of Human Caring, the caritas processes, the transpersonal caring relationship, and the caring occasion/caring moment, a nurse can create a more holistically therapeutic experience for patients and families.

Abstract:

Background and PurposeMany women are ceasing to breastfeed in the early period due to the breastfeeding problems and difficulties they perceive. Consequently, the approach and support of health professionals to mothers in the post-partum period is very important. The objective of the study is to determine the emotions and experiences of mothers who had breastfeeding problems by using Watson's Theory of Human Caring.MethodsThe research is a descriptive and qualitative type of study. The data were collected from 20 women with the semi-structured interview method based on Watson's Theory. The data were analyzed according to the Caritas Processes of Watson's Theory.ResultsIt was determined that the health professionals did not show enough assistance, support and interest to the mothers who had breastfeeding problems and that the mothers expected respect, empathy, sincerity, understanding, trust, and assistance during this period.Implication for PracticeThe use of the interview methods based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring in the determination of the difficulties and emotions experienced by the women who had breastfeeding problems will be a guide for the health professionals. It is thought that the approaches based on Watson's Caritas Processes that would be made to women who had breastfeeding problems would be effective for understanding their experience and emotions.

Abstract:

Infants who are born premature require hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In this study, 10 parents and seven grandmothers were interviewed with the purpose of exploring their experiences of having a premature infant in the NICU being cared for by nurses whose practice was grounded in Watson's theory of human caring caritas processes. Qualitative descriptive analysis revealed expressions of the caring moment lived as an intentional presence, within the context of the caritas processes to care for the infant and family, with loving-kindness, helping trusting relationship, creating caring healing environment, and allowing for hope and miracles.

Abstract:

As most health care systems around the world are undergoing major administrative restructuring, we expose ourselves to the risk of dehumanizing patient care. If we are to consider caring as the core of nursing, nurses will have to make a conscious effort to preserve human caring within their clinical, administrative, educational, and/or research practice. Caring must not be allowed to simply wither away from our heritage.To help preserve this heritage, caring theories such as those from Jean Watson, Madeleine Leininger, Simone Roach, and Anne Boykin are vital. Through this continuing education paper we will learn the essential elements of Watson’s caring theory and explore an example of a clinical application of her work.

Abstract:

The phenomenon of end-of-life (EOL) decision-making is a lived experience by which individuals or families make decisions about care they will receive prior to death. A postmodern philosophical approach suggests EOL decision-making is a varied contextual phenomenon that is highly influenced by subjectivity. Thus, there is no specific definition for the phenomenon of EOL decision-making. Watson’s theory of human caring complements a postmodern approach in guiding the nursing process of caring for individuals as they experience EOL decision-making.

This article provides an overview of Watson’s theory of Human Caring, the notion of Caritas and human phenomena. Special emphasis is placed upon the theoretical structure of human caring theory referred to as 10 Carative Factors/Caritas Processes and subjective living processes and experiences. These core conceptual aspects of the theory and human living processes are grounded within the philosophical and ethical foundation of the body of my caring theory work. Together they serve as a guide for professional practice, as well as a disciplinary blueprint for the Science of Care.

Abstract:

Caring is the essence of nursing, yet there has been no standardized language by which nurses can capture this integral part of their professional practice. The nurses at Winter Haven Hospital, a community hospital in central Florida, recognized and changed this. Committed to infusing Watson’s theory of human caring throughout their organization, they developed a caritas language with the support of Dr. Watson. The language was assimilated into their electronic documentation system and nurses were trained on documenting a caritas assessment, the caritas intervention(s) used, and the outcomes. This is now done on admission and each shift. Since then, 40- and 16- character standardized condensed versions of caritas language are posted on the Watson Caring-Science Institute’s website.

Abstract:

Even though the theories of caring and health have been developed largely along separate tracts of nursing theory, there is considerable overlap between them. Each is embedded in the explanation and application of the other. This paper illustrates some of the connections between caring and health. Moreover, one’s definition of health makes a difference in the intent of nursing practice. The meaning of health as expanding consciousness is elaborated on as a research-practice process. Within this context, Jean Watson’s views of consciousness are compared with those of the author.

Abstract:

The aim of the authors of this paper is to analyze Watson’s theory of human caring for its usefulness and worth in education, practice, and research. The reason for undertaking this analysis is to evaluate if Watson’s theory would be useful for nursing in those countries where such theories were not an established part of the nursing curriculum. Furthermore, in some European countries, their political past or cultural influences led to an unquestioned adoption of the biomedical model. As their political culture changes, many social structures have had to be revisited, and for nursing, this has meant the introduction of theoretical reasoning, teaching, and practice.

Abstract:

Ensuring that caring individuals are graduated from colleges of nursing is necessary to meet the holistic needs of a multicultural society. Two instruments, The Nyberg’s Caring Assessment Scale and Nkongho’s Caring Ability Inventory, assessed caring attributes in pre-clinical Baccalaureate and Associate degree nursing students. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring was chosen as the theoretical foundation. Although most students had low to moderate levels of internal caring, some students in both groups possessed high levels of caring. Implications of the study suggest that caring education is needed during nursing school.

Abstract:

Hospice offers holistic human caring that embraces every individual as a unique physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual entity. To holistically address and fulfill end-of-life care needs, wishes, and preferences for terminally ill patients and their families, early healthcare provider referral to hospice is crucial. Utilizing Watson’s (2012a) theory of human caring and Hills and Watson’s (2011) emancipatory pedagogy for nursing as theoretical frameworks, this article proposes an approach to educating multidisciplinary healthcare providers on the importance of and need for early hospice referral to promote quality holistic, meaningful, respectful, dignified, and compassionate end-of-life care.

Abstract:

The interconnectedness of human health and the earth has been central to nursing practice since Florence Nightingale. Drawing from Watson’s theory of human caring and Shuster’s (1990) conceptualization of earth caring, we articulate linkages between environmental concerns and caring for health of people globally. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set standards and targets for health worldwide. Using these goals as guidelines for global health nursing practice, we articulate specific environmental issues related to each of the MDGs. Poverty, hunger, education, toxic exposures in air, water, soil and climate change are all interrelated and a holistic earth caring approach is needed to heal the planet and assure human health.

Abstract:

Twenty-four nurse educators spontaneously provided rich narratives in response to an online survey that asked only for brief answers to 4 questions: Is it possible to demonstrate caring online? What cues prompt you to initiate caring interventions with students? What caring interventions do you initiate in response to those cues? How do students respond to your caring efforts? Themes encompassed within these remarkable narratives include sense, connect, and facilitate. These themes correspond to key elements in Watson’s human caring theory and provide a window into the philosophies and practices of 24 wise, intuitive, creative, and deeply caring nurse educators.

This paper will examine chaos theory, bifurcation points, non-equilibrium states, and the unity of transpersonal interconnectedness in relation to patients’ disease processes and the utilization of Jean Watson’s theory of human caring. An explanation of the nurse’s ability to participate in a transpersonal caring moment and how the nurse’s caring presence facilitates patients toward higher levels of evolutionary order will be offered. Adiscussion regarding the impending paradigm shift within contemporary health care will elucidate the nursing profession’s need for an integral approach to nursing education and practice, one where both medical-technological interventions and holistic-humanistic-caring approaches are equally valued and enacted.

Objective To know the facilities and the difficulties of nurses in caring practice of hospitalized children’s families in the light of Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. Method It was used the descriptive qualitative approach. The data collection was conducted in three stages: presentation of theoretical content; engagement with families in the light of Watson’s theory; and semi-structured interview with 12 pediatric nurses. The interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis, being possible to form three themes: Recognizing a framework for care; Considering the institutional context; and Challenges in family’s relationship. Results The theory favored reflections about self, about the institutions and about nurses’ relationship with the family of the child, normalized by a consciousness toward caring attitudes. Conclusion In this process, it is imperative that nurses recognize the philosophical-theoretical foundations of care to attend the child’s family in hospital.

Abstract:

Caring is viewed as the essence of nursing. However caring is not a phenomenon exclusive to nurses. Hospitalized patients encounter numerous people in addition to nurses and each role and individual make an impact upon the care of the patient. These encounters can dramatically influence the level of satisfaction a patient feels about their hospital experience. The purpose of this study was to determine if implementing an interdepartmental caring-based approach based on Jean Watson’s theory of human caring could have a positive effect on patient satisfaction. It was determined that satisfaction levels did improve significantly following a caring-based intervention.

The purpose of this quantitative study was to develop a 10-item suwey to measure the caritas processes. By using exploratory factor analysis to examine the underlying structure of the 20-item Caring Factor Survey it was discovered that taken together the caritas processes are a measure of the single concept of caring that can be reliably measured by a 10-item scale. The results of the factor analysis and item reduction, resulting in a 10-item Caring Factor Suwey are presented. The 10-item Caring Factor Suwey can be used by registered nurses in the practice setting to measure caring when practice is guided by Watson’s (1979) theory of human caring.

Abstract:

The medical approach to performing a cardiac catheterization is changing from femoral artery to radial artery access. This technique radically changes patient recovery, as patients can sit up immediately following the procedure, ambulate almost immediately post procedure, and may recover in their street clothes. Nursing care and the healing environment was reframed using Watson’s (2008) theory of human caring to enhance patient outcomes and to improve nursing quality indicators for patients undergoing a transradial catheterization and recovery. The design of a radial recovery lounge or cath café was undertaken using a theory-guided nursing approach to create a holistic caring-healing environment.

Abstract:

As social, political, and economic forces increasingly impact and challenge the healthcare environment, nurse leaders must purposefully seek and achieve continuous system improvement to ensure organizational viability. This article describes the vision of a passionate nurse leader who recognized two vital points: the necessity of theoretical underpinnings to guide nursing practice and the theory of human caring as relevant and pragmatic, capturing the essence of nursing. The replicable journey of embedding Watson’s caring theory into the institution’s structure and processes of care resulted in improved quality and financial outcomes, and transformed the culture of an entire organization.

Abstract:

An environment committed to providing family-centered care to children must be aware of the nurse caring behaviors important to parents of children. This descriptive study assessed the psychometrics of a revised version of the Caring Behaviors Assessment (CBA) and examined nurse caring behaviors identified as important to the parents of pediatric patients in a pediatric emergency department. Jean Watson’s theory of human caring provided the study’s theoretical underpinnings. The instrument psychometrics was determined through an index of content validity (CVI) and internal consistency reliability. The instrument was determined to be valid (CVI = 3.75) and reliable (Cronbach’s alpha = .971). The revised instrument was completed by a stratified, systematic random sample of 300 parents of pediatric emergency patients. Participants rated the importance of each item for making the child feel cared for by nurses. Individual survey item means were computed. Items with the highest means represented the most important nurse caring behaviors. Leading nurse caring behaviors centered on carative factors of “human needs assistance” and “sensitivity to self and others.” Nearly all nurse caring behaviors were important to the parents of pediatric patients, although some behaviors were not priority. It is important for nurses to provide family-centered care in a way that demonstrates nurse caring.

Abstract:

The nursing shortage is increasing and on-line learning has become an attractive recruitment tool in a competitive marketplace. The study investigated current nursing students’ perceptions of their interactions with instructors in on-line nursing courses using the Organizational Climate of Caring Questionnaire (Hughes, 1993). Relationships with demographic factors of age, professional and on-line learning experience, and type of program were also explored. The outcomes of this study support the use of Watson’s human caring theory to facilitate the evolution of on-line nursing education pedagogy.

Abstract:

This study’s purpose was to create an alternative to the traditional environment for surgical patients in the operating room (OR). Acaring-healing environment with nurse caring behaviors was designed according to Watson’s theory of human caring. Aposttest only design with comparison group was employed. The sacred space environment combined soft lighting, warmth, selected music, and an art mural in an OR. Data were collected on 50 patients in the comparison group and 50 patients in the experimental group using the Sacred Space Assessment Instrument. Results showed that a statistically significant difference existed when perception of sacred space and perception of nurse caring were compared by group. However, no statistically significant difference resulted on patient satisfaction by group.

Abstract:

The model is based in the theory of human caring authored by Dr. Jean Watson. This theory honors autonomy, choice, and meaning through deep human connection. The Caritas field is the “inner world of practice at the heart level”. The model has four domains. The first one is most important. Is the health care that the person is receiving—the treatments, the surgery, the chemotherapy, the medications—aligned with the person’s wishes, preferences, and values.

Abstract:

As members of the largest and most trusted healthcare profession, nurses are role models and critical partners in the ongoing quest for the health of their patients. Findings from the American Nurses Association Health Risk Appraisal suggested that nurses give the best patient care when they are operating at the peak of their own wellness. They also revealed that 68% of the surveyed nurses place their patients’ health, safety, and wellness before their own. Globally, several nursing codes of ethics include the requirement of self-care. Often, these codes embed the responsibility to protect and promote one’s own health within the clearly described obligation to provide safe patient care. The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses is unique in that it states explicitly that nurses must adopt self-care as a duty to self in addition to their duty to provide care to patients. One of the basic assumptions of Watson’s Philosophy and Science of Caring is that caring science is the essence of nursing and the foundational disciplinary core of the profession. Watson’s theory of human caring provides support for the engagement in self-care. Two important value assumptions of Watson’s Caritas are that “we have to learn how to offer caring, love, forgiveness, compassion, and mercy to ourselves before we can offer authentic caring and love to others” and we also must “treat ourselves with loving-kindness and equanimity, gentleness, and dignity before we can accept, respect, and care for others within a professional caring-healing model.” Embedded within several caritas processes is an outline for a holistic approach to caring for self and others that can guide nurses to improve their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Abstract:

This article illustrates the pedagogical specification of Jean Watson’s theory of human caring in the design and implementation of a module in health assessment. The module, “What You Need to Know!” was developed to engage students in a process of understanding cultural assessment within the context of the patient’s personal life and values. A PowerPoint presentation was paced to contemporary music to engage students in a reflective and aesthetic experience that explored cultural concepts. The ensuing dialogical process allowed students to examine and internalize a holistic understanding of the person.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to develop the Caring Behaviors Inventory for Elders (CBI-E) and to establish its psychometric characteristics further. The 28-item CBI-E was framed by Watson’s theory of human caring. Aconvenience sample (N = 215) of elders and their caregivers (N = 138) completed the instrument. Psychometric analysis included item analysis, test-retest reliability, internal consistency reliability with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, contrasted groups construct validity, and factorial validity, using principal components analysis with varimax rotation. Preliminary construct validity was established. Five dimensions of the CBI-E were identified: attending to individual needs, showing respect, practicing knowledgeably and skillfully, respecting autonomy, and supporting religious/spiritual beliefs. Additional testing is warranted.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the nurse care for the spiritual hospitalized elderly’s dimension. Method: a qualitative study, based on Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. The study included 17 nurses working in a geriatric center in Salvador City, Bahia State, Brazil. The collection of testimonies occurred between January and April of 2018, through an interview. Results: spiritual care were dialogue, encouragement and respect for religious activities, embracement, empathy. One of the obstacles to providing this care was the lack of preparation in accessing the elderly’s spiritual dimension. Final considerations: spirituality is a dimension of human and holistic nursing care. Caring for the spirit contributes to foster transpersonal care. The difficulty may be in the lack of nurses’ preparation. It is necessary that they cultivate and live their own spirituality, transmitting the understanding in each care relationship.
