What philosophies and theories from the literature of nursing and other disciplines/domains are consistent with these concepts?

 

My philosophy is mainly drawn from transpersonal caring relationship proposed by Watson and focuses on 4 care factors. Two of the care factors are highlighted from nurses’ perspective and are important to nurse-patient relationship. Faith-hope theory seeks to integrate mind, and spirit in nursing practice. It fosters faith and hope from the patient’s perspective. Nursing care cannot be prescribed. It is responsibility of the nurse to come up with appropriate responses to suit their desired outcomes. Responses can be highly varied and so are outcomes.

Nursing care differs from regular care in that they can be described and valued. As a matter of fact, nursing care can be termed as altruistic, or rather an expression of love and care. Additionally, nursing is intentional and an embodied recognition of the need as well as willingness to respond to that need (Draper, LaDou, & Dan, 2011). Nursing care is of paramount importance in the hospice wing. As a hospice specialist, I appreciate the need of ensuring that my patients receive the best kind of care possible.
