Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring Flashcards
The major conception elements of Watson’s caring theory does not include:
Behavioural systems perspective of nurse-patient interaction
According to Watson, consciousness:
Is contained
Is interconnected
Is communicated to the one being cared for
Exists through and transcends time and space
Watson’s original 10 caritive factors did not include:
Systematic use of problem-solving skills to implement the nursing process
The terms “transpersonal” and a “transpersonal caring relationship” are foundational to Watson’s work. “Transpersonal” conveys a concern for:
The inner life world and subjective meaning of another who is fully embodied
Going beyond the ego self and beyond the given moment
Reaching to the deeper connections to spirit and with the broader universe and social spiritual environment
The caring-healing modalities within the context of transpersonal caring/caritas consciousness potentiate harmony, wholeness, and unity of being by releasing:
Some of the disharmony, the blocked energy that interferes with the natural healing process
A caring occasion occurs whenever
The nurse and another come together with their unique life histories and phenomenal fields in a human-to-human transaction
The dynamic of transpersonal caring (healing) within a caring moment is manifested in
A field of consciousness
In her decision of the application of Watson’s Theory, Woodward proposes that collaboration and co-creation are key elements in the endeavors to translate Caring Theory into practice. She suggests that they:
Reveal the nonlinear process and relational aspect of caring praxis
When a nurse and another come together with their unique life histories in a human-to-human transaction, this is considered:
A caring occasion
The action and choice by the nurse and other to be in the moment is considered a:
Caring moment
T/F: Watson proposes that the nurse’s moral commitment, intentionality, and caritas consciousness is to protect, enhance, promote, and potentiate human dignity, wholeness, and healing, wherein a person creates or co-creates his or her own meaning for existence, healing, wholeness, and living and dying.
True
