THE BENEFITS OF STANDARDIZED LANGUAGE INCLUDE BETTER COMMUNICATION AMONG NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, INCREASED VISIBILITY OF NURSING INTERVENTIONS, ENHANCED DATA COLLECTION TO EVALUATE NURSING CARE OUTCOMES, AND IMPROVED PATIENT CARE.

Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring focuses on enhancing nursing practice, management, education, and research. Watson developed the caring theory based on the premise that nurses can care for patients if they also take care of themselves. Caring is a two-way street. “Watson believes that health professionals make social, moral, and scientific contributions to humankind and that nurses’ caring ideal can affect human development” (Watson, 2008, para 1). When patients and nurses share parts of themselves, these “caring” moments impact the patient’s and nurse’s lives permanently by healing, enhancing wholeness, and influencing what makes each of us human.
- The Theory of Human Caring is made up of 10 Caritas or processes that demonstrate aspects of caring:
Practice of loving kindness
- Decision making
Instill faith and hope
Practice teaching and learning that meets the patient’s needs and learning styles
- Nurture individual spiritual beliefs and practices
Holistic care
Helping and trusting relationships
Create a healing environment
Promote expression of negative and positive feelings
- Miracles
- (Watson, 2008, para 3)
