From the Paper
"Banning (2005), in a qualitative study, found that the different levels of evidence were utilized according to their appreciation of them, suggesting that prior training in the use of these resources for continuing education can influence nurses' perceptions of and appreciation for evidence-based practice. Multiple sources of support in health care organizations from management by promoting a culture of receptivity to change and encouragement of this practice can empower nurses to shift towards more confident implementation of evidence-based practice."

Abstract
Nursing theorists have been popular in nursing since the days of Florence Nightingale and have continued through to the present. This paper highlights Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming as well as Jean Watson's theory of human caring. This is then followed with a discussion of how their theories and philosophies are similar, how their theories are dissimilar and finally what other theories in nursing are related to each of these theories.
From the Paper
"It is considered beyond the scope of the paper to discuss each theorist's theory in detail. Rosemarie Rizzo Parse's theory Rosemarie Parse's theory of human becoming is built on concepts that are considered inter-subjective, relying on an interpersonal environment from which to create meaning and allow for personal growth (Bjorklund, 2000). Parse offered this theory in 1981 as an alternative to the standard bio-medical model emphasized in the 1960s and 1970s (Cody, n.d.). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the theory of human caring as propounded by Jean Watson. The paper contends that Watson's theory is based on the notion that love and care have therapeutic properties, and when used properly with medical competencies, they can become major healing forces. The paper explains that the theory is grounded in humanism, which seeks to provide patients with spiritual, emotional, mental, as well as physical comfort and well-being.
From the Paper
"The theory sounds complex to many because of its rather perplexing terminologies and extensive use of overlapping and sometimes vague concepts. But it is definitely one of the most important nursing theories to have emerged in the late 20th century and is solely responsible for turning 'caring' into a science. It has become a standard for judging new practices and competencies in nursing because Watson has successfully managed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by incorporating the two into the same framework.
With rapid changes in the medical field and with new technologies emerging everyday, people especially those in the nursing field are in constant danger of losing sight of their core objective i.e. personal care. Nursing tasks have become too technical in nature and thus it is important to stress the need for transpersonal relationships and one-on-one personal connection between nurses and patients. By including mind, body and spirit into the whole scheme of care, Watson guides nursing in the right direction."

Summary
From the Paper
"The following are the top five leaning needs and recommendations for this contingent. There is a need to revise the BSN curriculum to create a transtheoretical approach to teaching nursing models, which specifically involves integrating more prominently the nursing theory teachings of Jean Watson, particularly for integrated use in clinical instruction and practice (Watson & Smith, 2002; Morgan, 2006). Thus a timeline must be established in order to accommodate the main activities of the curriculum revision: Content development for instructors, instructor tutorial proper, assessment and further content refinement for classroom instruction and preparation of materials for classroom instruction. Given the timeline for 2008, this must be done at the soonest convenient time."

Abstract
This paper discusses the theory of Jean Watson, who situated nursing and health at the very center of human nature and as our source of unity. The paper claims that Watson was chosen because she focused on what had often been neglected in nursing - the spiritual dimension of the person and maintains that her position helps nurses to view nursing in an entirely different light.
From the Paper
"Jean Watson Introduction Jean Watson situated nursing and health at the very center of human nature and as our source of unity. She maintained that "the task of nursing and health and healing is related to the very nature of our shared humanity" (Watson, 2003, p. 197). Watson was chosen because she focused on what had often been neglected in nursing: the spiritual dimension of the person. Furthermore, her theory is derived from her own values, beliefs, and experiences. Watson's framework fits nursing perfectly since her theory is based on becoming, knowing, and doing."

From the Paper
" Abstract
This paper presents an analysis and critique of a published nursing philosophy and theory by the nurse theorist Jean Watson. The analysis is based on Watson's publications about her theory, especially her 1979 book, Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring, and her 1985 book, Nursing: Human Science and Human Care: A Theory of Nursing. The starting point of the paper is a brief review of the Theory of Human Caring, which focuses on the human component of caring and the moment-to-moment encounters between the one giving care and the one cared for. The theory consists of a description of transpersonal caring and a taxonomy of interventions referred to as carative factors. The analysis of Watson's work reveals that the theory is based on a metaphysical, spiritual-existential, and phenomenological.."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Jean Watson theory of human caring, used in the nursing curriculum. The paper explains that, according to Watson, the theory of human caring is a focus for the future of nursing practice and provides the standards that should guide nurses in every aspect of their role in the health care field. The paper looks at how, as time has evolved, the issues with which nurses have been confronted have caused a shift in the approach to nursing that is based on quality care. The paper then points out that, although Watson is specific as to the realm of caring that can be applied to nursing and the delivery of service to the patient, it is evident that Watson intended for the caring perspective to be apparent in every facet of nursing and used to understand all issues that affected the individual's health and well being. In conclusion, the paper shows that the theory of human caring should be a vital instrument for all nursing professionals and students, serving nursing through a foundation for care that returns the profession to a focus specifically on the patient and quality care.
Outline:
Define Theory of Human Caring.
Analyze the Jean Watson Theory of Human Caring.
Use of Jean Watson Theory of Human Caring Use in Guiding All Nursing Programs.
Applicability of Jean Watson Theory of Human Caring to Undergraduate Level Nursing Practice.
Applicability of Jean Watson Theory of Human Caring to Graduate Level Nursing Practice.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"To care for the complete human means to care for each element of the individual's life that is either positively or negatively impacting him or her. Treating the illness without considering the psychological issues that may be evident will slow recovery time and may hinder the effectiveness of the treatment. Recommending treatments that are not feasible in the life of an impoverished individual or that the person cannot be transported to, will prevent the complete recovery of the person. And advocating surgery for a patient that elects only to utilize Chinese Traditional Medicine for the health care needs, prevents the patient from receiving care that is applicable to the individual's life."

Introduction
Personal Experience Reflection
Watson's Theory of Human Care
Evaluation
From the Paper
"As a result of the caring moment, both I and Mrs. N were changed. I learned a new level of continuing competence and arrived at a deeper understanding of human care. I learned to clarify my value system and define what it means to be human and caring as a nurse. I also learned that both I and the patient are involved in continuous process of growing, changing, and becoming (Walker & Neuman, 1996). We both came out of the situation essentially learning the same truth that we need a high perception of the other person as a human being. In addition, as a result of the intersubjective flow between Mrs. N and I, Mrs. N was better able to release some of her disharmony of the mind, body and soul. She came to realize that she does need more health teaching and cannot deal with certain situations. What did not work in the situation was that I did not have the patient's perspective at the center. However, the use of Watson's carative factors changed that."

Watson's Theory of Human Care, 2007.
This paper discusses Jean Watson's theory of human care and applies the theory to the nursing care of a diabetic.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jean Watson's theory of human care describes the nursing process as a moral ideal. The author points out that Watson's philosophy of nursing holds that nurses exist in order to understand the patient, to help the patient gain harmony within his or her mind-body-spirit complex (which generates self-knowledge, self-reverence, self-healing), and to install faith-hope. The paper examines the case of a diabetic patient who has not been adhering to his health teaching about diabetic protocol and diet and explains how Watson's theory enabled the author of the paper to approach the patient through a strong therapeutic relationship, while focusing on the patient's self-determination and ability for self-care.
From the Paper
"The instillation of faith-hope includes being present to Mr. C and being supportive of both any positive or negative feelings he might express. The nurse is not judgmental but is accepting of him. At the same time, she promotes wellness by encouraging Mr. C to begin practicing health-seeking behaviors. Everything that is done for Mr. C is centered in care because care is the center of nursing."

Abstract
Both Rosemarie Parse and Jean Watson added important theories to the realm of nursing. This paper examines similarities and differences by critiquing their theories. This paper relates concepts and ideas from these theories which are important to the profession of nursing. Jean Watson created significant philosophies on the idea of caring, while Rosemarie Parse made important contributions to nursing through her theories on human becoming.
From the Paper
"Although seemingly quite different, the theories of Watson and Parse have some notable similarities. Both Watson and Parse has a fundamental view on how nursing should carry itself in its domain. Parse's list of essential practicing of the art of nursing is congruent with Watson's theoretical assertions in her human science theory. While both theorists use verbiage and definitions that can be complex, both theorists are grounded in their beliefs of how individuals experience is bettered by a compassionate way."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jean Watson's carative theory allows nurses to practice the art of caring with the purpose of easing patients' and families' suffering, promote the healing and dignity of the patients, and expand the nurse's own actualization. The author points out that her theory contrasts carative forces with the conventional medicine's curative forces. The paper relates that Watson stresses the spiritual side of nursing by creating an environment of energy and consciousness based on wholeness, beauty, comfort, dignity and peace.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Carative Forces
Transpersonal Caring Relationship
Caring Occasion/ Caring Moment
From the Paper
"According to Jean Watson, a caring occasion is the moment or stage when the nurse and another person come together in such a way that an occasion for human caring is created. Both, the patient and the nurse struggle to develop the possibility of coming together through human-to-human transaction, with their unique phenomenal fields.
According to Watson, the phenomenal field is in correspondence with the person's frame of reference or the totality of human experience. The human experience is based on feelings, bodily sensations, thoughts, spiritual beliefs, goals, expectations, environmental considerations, and meanings of one's perceptions."
