This paper uses Watson's theories and examples of what she called "a caring moment" in the context of fully discussing nursing from Watson's point-of-view. Major components and background of Watson's theory "Watson (1988) defines caring as the moral ideal of nursing whereby the end is protection, enhancement, and preservation of human dignity… [caring] involves values, a will, and a commitment to care, knowledge, caring actions and consequences" (Cohen, 1991, p
Watson's "Caring Theory" is at work in a number of hospitals and healthcare facilities; the list is presented in an article Watson wrote in the peer-reviewed Journal of Health & Human Services Administration (Watson, 2009). Meanwhile, in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nursing Research, the authors (Suliman, et al
In her 1999 book, Nursing: Human Science and Human Care: A Theory of Nursing, Watson makes clear that "Nursing science" needs to move away from "homogeneity of thinking" and find breakthrough ideas that are workable and based on the science of nursing. That said, Watson believes there have been "…some conceptual inconsistencies" within some of nursing "dimensions" (Watson, 1999, p

These basic principles form the core of Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring. Watson conceived her Theory of Human Caring while she was teaching at the University of Colorado in 1975 to 1979 (Conway et al
II.Concepts Its main concept is transpersonal human caring, best understood within the ancillary concepts of life, illness and health (Fawcett, 2002)
That harmony produces self-knowledge, self-respect, self-healing, and self-care processes (Fawcett). Jean Watson sees caring as a science, characterized by a humanitarian and human science orientation with human caring processes, phenomena and experiences (Vance 2010)
This text covers some of the theorists in the field of nursing, and their works. The nurses of the past provided great healing service to patients; however, much of the knowledge they passed down was mainly functional and skills based (Alligood, n
The presence implied isn't just physical presence but also emotional presence and giving oneself fully to another by way of open communication, empathy, and listening. Effective listening involves correctly interpreting what the patient may imply through non-verbal cues (Anderson, 2008)
The definition given for environment is the situational influences; these may be social, political, biophysical, economic, cultural, etc. (Benton, 2013)
D -- Application Guiding Nursing Practice Nursing practice when based on research studies and evidence tends to produce better results and records of higher client satisfaction are available. The theory also allows for the evaluation of this area and so provides more data for future reference (Rogers, 20130
She is an alumnus of University of Rhode Island, University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Colorado, where she earned her Ph.D. In 1978 in psychosocial nursing (Samuels, 2012)
Concerns or Problems addressed by the Theory The theory considers 'caring' as being grounded in understanding and/or empathizing with another person's reality. The anchor of caring is 'knowing', and this is shown by 'doing for', "being with' and through 'enabling' (Swanson, 1993, p
