Topic
Nursing Situation as Caring Moment: A Filipino Value-Grounded Theory of Nursing
Additional Information
Although caring has been defined as central, essence and unique in nursing, nurses working in clinical setting have difficulty articulating the relationship between caring and nursing thus parroting the philosophies of other disciplines. This presentation will discuss the development, assumptions, concept, proposition, and processes of nursing of the nursing situation as caring moment theory (NSACMT), a middle-range nursing theory whose theoretical statement proposes that: Intentionally ensuring that nursing situations are consistently appreciated as caring moments allows for the deliberate self-empowerment of persons within the nursing situation.
Please Note: We are offering only one journal club session in April. The session will be held on April 8th at 11:00 AM Eastern Time USA. There will not be a repeat session on April15th since the journal club will be hosted from the Philippines.
