PERSON: All persons are caring, has as its
focus a general call to nurture persons as they live caring uniquely and grow
as caring persons even when not all chosen actions of the person live up to the
ideal to which we are called to the virtue of our humanness. The theory of
nursing as caring asserts that it is only through recognizing and responding to
the other as a caring person that nursing is created and personhood enhanced.
The idea that persons are whole and complete.
It is illuminated as living grounded
in caring
Person as person – Acknowledges
the uniquenesses and special gifts of each individual. Means we are committed
to knowing and responding to that which truly matters. There is a commitment to
listening and reflecting on our knowing.
Person as Caring - The assumption
that all people are caring implies that caring is a way of living our
humanness. Caring is an innate human quality which is at various points of
development in each individual. It is a process, and people throughout life
grow in their ability to express caring. Caring can be express in different
ways like knowing, courage, hope, patience, trust, humility and honesty.
Person as a whole – Is a view that simply
recognizes that at all times that people are whole-never parts. This
perspective is very important to nursing practice because it precludes any
attempt to nurse simply a diagnosis or afflicted part. The whole is in the
part. Therefore, to nurse is to nurse the wholeness of a person. This
assumption values and respects each person’s beauty, worth and uniqueness “as
one seeks to understand fully the meaning of values, choices, priority systems
through which values are expressed”.
The importance of person as
person, of person as caring, and of person as a whole.
HEALTH: a well-being state of a person. In
this theory, health did not fully describe but we can attain overall health
thru proper caring in all aspects of life.
ENVIRONMENT: Nurturing persons living
caring and growing in caring. Committed intention to promote a healthy and
caring environment. Defines situational to any context that is influenced by
the client
NURSING: Both a discipline and a
profession is affirmed as nurse draws on a set of values and a developed
knowledge of nursing as caring to actively offer his presence in service to the
nursed. The point of departure was the acceptance that caring is the end,
rather than the means, of nursing, and the intention of nursing rather than
merely its instrument. This work lead to the focus of nursing as “nurturing
persons living caring and growing in caring.
