Watson noted that the ideas associated with her philosophy and theory of human caring are concerned with spirit than matter, flux rather than form, inner knowledge and power rather than circumstance.
Watson proposes 7 assumptions about the science of caring and 10 primary carative factors to form the framework of her theory.
10 CARATIVE FACTORS
- Formation of a humanistic-altruistic system of values.
- Instillation of faith-hope.
- Cultivation of sensitivity to one’s self and to others.
- Development of a helping-trust relationship.
- Promotion and acceptance of the expression of positive and negative feelings.
- Systematic use of the scientific problem-solving method for decision making.
- Promotion of interpersonal teaching-learning.
- Provision for a supportive, protective and/or corrective mental physical, socio-cultural, and spiritual environment.
- Assistance with gratification of human needs.
- Allowance for existential-phenomenological forces.
METAPARADIGM:
NURSING
She defined nursing as “a human science of people and human health-illness experiences that are mediated by professional, personal, scientific, aesthetic, and ethical human care transactions”. To provide holistic care is central to the practice of caring in Nursing.
MAN
Watson views the human as a valued person in and of him to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted. A person is a fully functional integrated self, greater than, and different from, the sum of his or her parts.
