  1. ESSENCE AND MORALIDEAL OF NURSING Jaime R. Soriano.RN.RM.MSN.RT.

  2. Watson (1985, 2005) defines caring as a science and her operational definition of caring science as an evolving philosophical ethical-epistemic field of study that is grounded in the discipline of nursing and informed by related fields (Watson, 2005) Meaning of Caring

  3. Major assumptions of the science of caring in nursing as follows: a. Caring can only be effectively demonstrated and practiced interpersonally. b. Caring consists of carative factors that result in the satisfaction of certain human needs. c. Effective caring promotes health and individual or family growth. d. Caring responses accept a person not only as he or she is now but as what he or she may become. Meaning of Caring

  4. Major assumptions of the science of caring in nursing as follows: e. A caring environment offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for himself or herself at a given time. f. Caring is more “healthogenic” than is curing. The practice of caring integrates biophysical knowledge with knowledge of human behavior to generate or promote health and to provide ministrations to those who are ill. A science of caring is therefore complementary to the science of curing. g. The practice of caring is central to nursing. Meaning of Caring

  5. Watson (1988) believes that human life is a gift to be cherished – process of wonder, awe and mystery, holds the view that humans are valued to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood and assisted, as a fully functional integrated self based on the philosophical belief that the humans are greater than and different from the sum of their parts, instead of reducing the human to body systems. Meaning of Caring

  6. Watson bases her theory for nursing practice on the following 10 carative factors. Each has dynamic phenomenological component that is relative to the individuals involved in the relationship as encompassed by nursing. The first three imnterdependent factors serve as the “philosophical foundation for the science of caring”. As Watson’s ideas and values have evolved, she translated the 10 carative factors into caritas processes. In caritas processes, there is a decidedly spiritual dimension and overt evocation of love and caring. Constructs of Caring
