Abstract
Modern Nursing is said to be brought by the advancement, not only in the theoretical and clinical aspects of healthcare but also in the improvement of humanitarian considerations through the years. The importance of this third aspect has always been emphasized in several studies that show a positive relationship between the efficacy of treatments and the level of care given by the nurse themselves. Accordingly, the author of this article has evaluated the correlation between sincere and genuine ‘care’ and the improvement in both the patients’ and the nurses’ lives, which is the main principle under Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring of Human Care Theory (HCT). By analyzing the origins, tenets, and focuses on this paradigm, the author was able to understand the crucial role of genuine affection in improving the healthcare system. He discovered that similar to the provisions of Watson’s HCT Model, the actions of nurses and their capacity to exhibit genuine care play an indispensable role in the improvement of the healthcare system.
Just like any other medical field, the field of Nursing presents various challenges especially due to the complex sets of skills that a nurse should have. On the one hand, the nurse must be able to have a deep comprehension of both the theoretical and clinical knowledge needed in order to deliver effective care relative to the patient’s illness. On the other hand, she must also be able to integrate sincere interpersonal skills that allow her to deliver the best kind of care tailored to the patient’s wants, preferences, and needs. In line with this two-fold need, this article would discuss Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring or the Human Care Theory (HCT). Her passion for taking care of those who were sick have developed as early as when she was only 10 years old CITATION Nam10 \l 1033 (Nameth, 2010). Further in her career, she developed the Watson Caring Science Institute in order to promote this type of nursing model. Jean Watson, was chosen by the author himself since her paradigm serves as one of the foremost principles in understanding the causal effects of caring and the efficacy of medical treatments. Specifically, Watson’s theory believed that the provision of a real and sincere type of ‘care’ on the part of the nurses benefits both the healthcare professional and the patient as they become able to provide better care and improve their interpersonal experiences with one another CITATION Paj17 \l 1033 (Pajnkihar, McKenna, Štiglic, & Vrbnjak, 2017).
Personally, the author of this article believes that the capacity to develop a sincere and genuine type of care towards one’s patients benefits the nurse as he becomes able to promote self-actualization and deal with the inherent stresses involved in the field of medical care. Additionally, he chose Watson as the main theorist behind this belief because Watson’s framework provides an objective and in-depth analysis of how caring affects both the patients and the nurses.
