About This Book

The authors articulate a conceptual model that frames nursing as fundamentally grounded in caring, arguing that persons are inherently caring and that caring is a dynamic, moment-to-moment process shaping personhood. They define nursing situations as the primary context for understanding and responding to human caring, and they trace philosophical foundations and key assumptions that support this perspective. Subsequent sections examine practical implications for clinical practice, nursing service administration, and education, and they outline approaches to theory development and research aimed at operationalizing and evaluating caring-centered care.
