Caritas and Caring Relationship
Jean Watson's theory of caring has long been an important and profound theoretical framework for the practice and study of nursing, and has helped to revitalize the discipline in the current area. This theory has also led to significant changes in the ways in which nursing is carried out by many practitioners and in many institutions, contributing to more comprehensive and holistic approaches to patient care and developing deeper emotional and spiritual ties between individuals during the provision of care. The establishment of the Watson Caring Science Institute and its activities such as the International Caritas Consortium has led to an even more widespread adoption of caring techniques and a greater appreciation for the direct and practical benefits that this approach to nursing practice can have. The website for the WCI and the ICC provides an excellent overview understanding of the concept of caring in nursing practice, providing valuable insights to practicing nurses and to students.

The essential value that supports the concept of caring in the nursing profession as defined and advocated by Watson is the belief that all human beings have an intrinsic value, and that each individual and every life is worthy of the connection and caring of others. This is related to the ethical imperative to treat all human beings as ends in and of themselves; that is, people are not simply a means to another end -- a component that enables the treatment of disease, for example -- but rather are important in and of themselves, and can be addressed on their own terms and for their own fulfillment. This concept carries with it a moral component of finding the good in every individual to serve as a point of connection between the observer and the observed -- a morality of…

Grand Theorist Report Introduction Nursing theory is delineated as an organized, methodical set of conceptions, delineations and statements that outline nursing phenomena and can be employed to forecast or elucidate outcomes. Specifically, grand nursing theories are intangible abstract structures that emanate from nursing models and propose results on the basis of use together with application of the model. The grand theorist selected for this analysis is Jean Watson specifically for the Human

Jean Watson's Theory Of Caring Iconic nursing leader and theorist Jean Watson established an innovative and much-needed component to the field of nursing which she refers to as a caring theory. 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
Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring or Caring Science involves exercising core practices/principles. "Watson's theory of human caring focuses on holistic care and the authentic relationship between caregivers and patients" (Lukose, 2011, p. 27). The evolution from Carative to Caritas involves five principles. These are practice of equanimity and loving-kindness, enabling deep faith of other like colleague, family, or patient (otherwise known as authentic presence). The other is cultivation of
"Transpersonal Caring acknowledges unity of life and connections that move in concentric circles of caring-from individual, to other/s, to community, to world, to Planet Earth, to the universe." (3, Watson). This theory serves as a comprehensive guide to nurses in patient care. Caring is institutionalized in the sense that it is seen as a whole separate science that nurses need to excel in. Watson maintains that the core of nursing
