Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring (Caritas) is now used in
approximately 300 health care institutions in the United States and
other institutions worldwide. This is the first international
compendium of Caritas research, presenting the findings of 41
studies from 7 countries. The book examines similarities and
differences in the ways in which each country applies Watson's
Theory and documents the outcomes of these interventions. It
addresses relationships between nurses and patients, nurses and
their colleagues, self-care, and how Caritas is used to resolve
outcome issues system-wide.
The book discusses at length eight different Caring Factor
surveys, primary research tools for those using the Caritas
process, which identify constructs that either support or impede
caring in multiple settings. The first section focuses on the
theoretical underpinnings of Caritas and presents seven adaptations
of the Caring Factor Survey. Section II addresses measurements and
methods for facilitating a caring relationship between nurse and
patient. Measurements and interventions to facilitate Caritas in a
variety of settings is the focus of Section III, and the final
sections address the international measurement and international
comparisons of Caritas. The volume will be an important resource
for nurse leaders, educators, administrators in academia including
unit managers, and for hospitals with or seeking Magnet status. The
book serves as a complement to Watson's "Assessing and Measuring
Caring in Nursing and Health Care" and" Creating a Caring Science
Curriculum: An Emancipatory Pedagogy for Nursing. " A
co-publication with the Watson Caring Institute, this volume:
Presents cutting-edge tools derived from the Caring Factor
Survey for measuring caring in multiple contexts Discusses
similarities and differences in caring contexts across nations
Documents outcomes of Caritas in varied settings in the United
States and internationally Addresses nurse-patient and
nurse-colleague relationships, self-care, and resolution of
system-wide outcome issues
