Q

Watson’s Major Assumptions:

A
  1. Caring can be demonstrated and practiced only interpersonally.
  2. Caring consists of carative factors that result in the satisfaction of certain human needs.
  3. Effective caring promotes health & individual or family growth
  4. A caring environment accepts a person as he is and looks to what the person may become.
  5. A caring environment offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for himself/herself at a given time.
  6. Caring is more “health ogenic” than curing. Caring integrates biophysical knowledge with knowledge of human behavior to generate or promote health & to provide ministrations for those who are ill. The science of caring is therefore complementary to the science of curing.
  7. Caring is central to nursing.
