  23. Clinical Enhancements • A moral commitment in protecting and enhancing human dignity. • A nurses caring consciousness and relationship with the patient has the potential to heal combined with the curative factors. • A regard for the patient’s perspective about their own healthcare concerns. • Caring moments with patient’s can “expand human capabilities” promoting healing of the whole person.

  24. Expressions of Caring • Introduce yourself • Focus on the patient • Be engaged • Give clear information to decrease uncertainty • Encourage patient expression • Give good physical care • Help patient establish realistic goals

  25. “The Rest of the Story” or Assessment • How are you feeling? • What are your expectations? • How has your health been? • Where do you see yourself after the Surgery? • What are your health priorities? • What is most important to you?

  26. Examines the model within the context of nursing education “It is when we include caring and loving in our sciences, we discover our caring healing professions are much more than a detached scientific endeavor, but a life-giving and life-receiving endeavor for humanity” (Watson, 2005, p 3) “Academic structures and departments in Scandinavian countries named “Caring Science” (Watson, p. 17) Two international journals with a focus on Caring: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Science and International Journal of Human Caring (Watson, p. 17) International Professional Organization: International Association of Human Caring (IAHC) celebrated its 25th years in 2003 (Watson, p. 17) “Caring Science”: The Science of Caring Research Publications (University Of California, San Francisco, School of Nursing), over 15 years old” (in 2003) (Watson, p.17)

  27. Examines the current research status of the model Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming Western Michigan University, Bronson School of Nursing (www.watsoncaringscience.org)

  28. Identifies strengths of the model Watson states “caring can and still must be honored as a core value, knowledge, and moral-ethical foundation for disciplinary knowledge development and practices related to healing and wholeness.” (Fawcett, 2002) “The core of the human caring theory is about human caring relationship and the deeply human experiences of life itself, not just health-illness phenomena, as traditionally defined within medicine (Watson, 2002a, 2002b) (Fawcett, 2002)

  29. Identifies limitations of the model Watson’s “theory does not lend itself easily to research conducted through traditional scientific methods” (Alligood, 2010, p. 102) “Critics of Watson’s work have concentrated on the use of undefined or changing/shifting definitions and terms and her focus on the psychosocial rather than the pathophysiological aspects of nursing” (Alligood, 2010, p. 101)
