Jean Watson''s first edition of Nursing, now considered a classic, introduced the science of human caring and quickly became one of the most widely used and respected sources of conceptual models for nursing. This completely new edition offers a contemporary update and the most current perspectives on the evolution of the original philosophy and science of caring from the field''s founding scholar. A core concept for nurses and the professional and non-professional people they interact with, "care" is one of the field''s least understood terms, enshrouded in conflicting expectations and meanings. Although its usages vary among cultures, caring is universal and timeless at the human level, transcending societies, religions, belief systems, and geographic boundaries, moving from Self to Other to community and beyond, affecting all of life. This new edition reflects on the universal effects of caring and connects caring with love as the primordial moral basis both for the philosophy and science of caring practices and for healing itself. It introduces Caritas Processes, offers centering and mediation exercises on an included audio CD, and provides other energetic and reflective models to assist students and practitioners in cultivating a new level of Caritas Nursing in their work and world.

Cet ouvrage offre une approche claire de la nature du caring, de ses caractéristiques et des éléments essentiels qui le constituent. Pour Jean Watson, le caring est un ensemble de facteurs qui fondent une démarche soignante étayée à la fois par une philosophie humaniste et par un ensemble de connaissances issues des sciences humaines et des sciences exactes. Ces facteurs permettent de comprendre le processus thérapeutique interpersonnel entre l''infirmière et la personne soignée. La discipline infirmière considérée comme la science du caring engloble les activités de promotion et de prévention de la santé, les soins curatifs et les soins de réhabilitation. L''intérêt majeur de ce livre est qu''il offre des perspectives passionnantes pour expliciter les fondements de l''exercice du rôle propre et qu''il interpelle sur la nature des savoirs fondamentaux et des concepts structurants qui devraient être maîtrisés pour pouvoir prétendre offrir des soins infirmiers professionnels. Il invite à une approche résolument centrée sur la santé, dans laquelle toutes les dimensions de la personne sont prises en compte. Le caring ouvre à des pratiques professionnelles qui permettent d''offrir des soins profondément holistiques à la population, et invite les infirmières à se centrer en permanence sur les réactions spécifiques de la personne confrontée à un problème de santé ou à une crise développementale et le caractère unique de ses stratégies d''ajustement au stress.

Sutras in nursing can serve as ancient universal truths to live and evolve by, uniting with consciousness for caring and healing. Who better to help our collective healing and recovery than nurses? These nurses and caregivers narratives are an offering, providing a platform in which to reflect on our own beliefs and values. The unifying thread points to love as the highest level of consciousness and greatest source for all healing. With contributions from nurses and caregivers throughout the USA: Jean Watson Sean M.
