Definition of Caring - Answer Concern over a person, events, projects or things. There's
scientific caring and humanistic caring
What's the difference between professional caring and the generic human capacity to care? -
Answer Professional caring has scientific and humanistic components... It's a science AND an
art. Generic human capacity to care is just like showing kindness to people in general, showing
concern for them, etc.
Why is caring important? - Answer - Helps focus on client (well duh, if you're caring for them,
you'll focus on them)
- You can identify what you're going to do (nursing actions) (when you care for them, you can
implement individualized solutions)
- You can understand a client's illness and its meaning (through caring they will open up, etc)
- They can more easily recover and maintain healthy practices (if they're being cared for, DUH)
- It helps the nurse's ability to work with their patients in a respectful and therapeutic way (you
see tragic things all the time but patient's don't, you need to care for them)
it's important because caring for a patient obviously focuses on them, with the focus on them
you can understand the meaning of the client's illness, which can help you make up a plan of
what to do, which makes them recover easier and maintain healthy practices... overall it helps
the nurse's ability to work with their patients in a respectful and therapeutic way (you can't if
you're not caring for them)
What are patients perspectives on caring? - Answer - Patients will become more active in the
plan of care (when nurses are sensitive, empathetic, show interest in them as people)
, - They feel comforted (through touch and non-touch too)
- When you really listen and take in what they say, interpret it, understand it and convey that
you understand you show them EMPATHY
When you care for patients you show them EMPATHY, and they feel COMFORTED through touch
and non touch, you show them that you're PRESENT which they appreciate, which makes the
patient more satisfied with care and will make them feel more involved in their care plan
What are different ways to care in the nursing practice? - Answer - Calm presence (being
there and WITH them) (you can show presence through eye contact, body language, tone of
voice, listening, positive and encouraging attitude)
- Touch
- Active listening (shows you actually care about them, establishes TRUST by taking in patient's
story and really understanding it)(silence yourself to listen)
- Have concern about patient well being (be concerned for them, DUH that's the definition of
caring)
- Know the patient (you can detect changes in them if you know them better, you'll be able to
tell if something is wrong)
Remembering: first you actively listen, while you listen you get to know them, when you get to
know their issues, you have concern for them, so you therapeutically touch them to make them
feel better and offer them a calm presence
What is person-centered care? - Answer It really focuses on:
- the patient
- patient satisfaction
