Travelbee’s work was conceptual, and she wrote about illness, suffering, pain, hope, communication, interaction, empathy, sympathy, rapport, and therapeutic use of self.
She proposed that nursing was accomplished through human-to-human relationships that began with
(1) the original encounter and progressed through stages of
(2) emerging identities,
(3) developing feelings of empathy and, later,
(4) sympathy, until
(5) the nurse and the patient attained rapport in the final stage.
Travelbee believed that it was as important to sympathize as it was to empathize if the nurse and the patient were to develop a human-to-human relationship (Travelbee, 1964). She was explicit about the patient’s and the nurse’s spirituality, observing the following:
“It is believed the spiritual values a person holds will determine, to a great extent, his perception of illness. The spiritual values of the nurse or her philosophical beliefs about illness and suffering will determine the degree to which he or she will be able to help ill persons find meaning, or no meaning, in these situations.”
