摘要:

This manuscript offers a new view of old and timeless values: the essential ethic of love, informed by contemporary European philosophies, and caring theory, as well as ancient poetry and wisdom traditions. It integrates some of the philosophical views of Levinas and Logstrup with Watson's Transpersonal Caring Theory. The metaphysics, metaphors, and meanings associated with “ethics of face,” the “infinity of the human soul,” and “holding another's life in our hands” are tied to a deeply ethical foundation for the timeless practice of love and caring, as a means to sustain, not only our shared humanity, but the profession of nursing itself.

摘要:

Do we always “keep our eye on the ball”—the patient? Do we continue to put our hearts and souls, as leaders, into building and supporting that relationship between persons serving and persons served? This article illuminates both the challenges and benefits of implementing a sustainable person centered care model. Patient-centered care (PCC) models have been around for many years, and in fact, many hear “PCC” and cringe. Nurses in particular view such models as economic tools for productivity. It is then hypocrisy to be carrying a name such as PCC. And yet, despite the history and the barriers, it is the only model for a better way of providing health care in America. The author shares her models on how to begin this work of transformation and create a new culture that always “points to true north”—the persons served and the persons serving.

摘要:

Consumers of health care expect caring behaviors and become satisfied and loyal customers when their health experience included caring. In today's health care environment, however, caring often takes a back seat to task completion and capital expenditures. Caregivers may feel caring, but they often provide care without regard for how patients prefer to experience caring. Caring theorists provide a framework of patient centered caring to guide professional practice. Stories of caring that occur in spite of diminished resources are inspirational and illustrate these theories. Chief nursing officers share a unique opportunity and imperative to assure that caring stories, the essence of our work, routinely inform decisions made in the executive suite and boardroom.

摘要:

Human caring, while instinctive, can also be taught, learned, and measured through the nursing education system. For decades information has been obtained that suggests people enter nursing because they value interpersonal relationships, altruism, and a desire to help others. Building on this “caring ethic,” nursing students can be professionally trained so that the verybestin nursing comes through in their practice. By using nursing theory, students realize their potential while gaining all requisite skills and competencies of today's practicing nurse. They enter the workforce with excitement and enthusiasm, confident that reflective, patient-centered care is always the goal.

摘要:

A 625-bed teaching hospital in an inner city has implemented tenets of a healing environment using the guiding principles of its Planetree affiliation. Patients, visitors, and staff have been the focal points of planning and innovation for 6 years. The challenges of security, safety, and limited resources have required Banner Health's Good Samaritan Medical Center in downtown Phoenix to take a pragmatic approach to implementation. Lessons learned in implementing this culture change in a large urban tertiary care facility will be described. Success factors and model modifications relative to our setting will be identified. Finally, planning efforts, which support continued emphasis on promoting a healing environment, will be outlined as they relate to a $90 million expansion project currently in progress.
