What are the components of Dr. Watsons Caring Theory?
• Carative Factors (Spiritual, emotional, and human care-giving factors that are added to, and meshed with, clinical care factors). • A transpersonal Caring Relationship (The nurse and patient mutually search for meaning and wholeness.) • Caring Moments (Uninterrupted time spent with a patient to make a human-to-human connection.) Caring moments also extend to uninterrupted time spent with family members. Of course, there are many more caring moments that you will learn about in your Magnet training. Dr. Watson believes that these caring moments transform both the patient and the nurse.
