“…Similar to other studies (Supaporn et al, 2022 ), these increased medical demands resulted in the women of the current study becoming uncompensated nursing assistants who were responsible for feeding, bathing, and medicating their spouses. The theory of human caring (Watson, 2012 ), which originated in nursing (Watson, 1999 ), defines carative factors as caring relationships, caring moments, authentic presence, and acceptance of negative and positive feelings (Alharbi & Baker, 2020 ). When considering these factors in relation to study results, this theory may explain the caring sentiments reported by study participants.…”

Background Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The majority of the nearly 9 million people living with Parkinson’s disease are men. As such, caregiving is often assumed by wives as the disease progresses. However, there is little research about the lived experience of wives as they transition to caregivers. Objective To describe the lived experience of wife caregivers of male spouses living at home with Parkinson’s disease. Methods A descriptive phenomenological study. Semi-structured interviews were recorded and transcribed for analysis in Atlas.ti using Colaizzi’s method. Results Thirteen women, aged 50 to 83 years, were interviewed. Five themes emerged from the analysis, (1) caregiver who? (2) taking it day by day, (3) not sure what to do next, (4) just too much, and (5) caring is your soul’s growth, to support the central theme “there is no cure for caregiving.” Conclusion Transitioning from wife to caregiver was a gradual but difficult process. Although the wife caregivers wanted to be part of the health care team, they remained outsiders. Clinicians need to recognize the wives as care coordinators linking medical management with home care. Policy makers need to develop reimbursement models that provide wife caregivers with support groups, education programs, and telemental health services.

“…The characteristics that define human caring [ 50 ] are necessary to understand the context of caring relationships [ 48 ]. Although the theory of human caring originally focused on explaining how nurses holistically care for people living with diseases [ 49 ], the theory is now broadly applied to caring in the context of health, wellness, and illness [ 56 ]. As a science [ 57 ], human caring is a measured phenomenon [ 58 ] characterized by the ten caritas processes, caring relationships, and caring moments [ 51 ].…”

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an emerging pandemic caused by aging, longevity, and industrialization. Most people diagnosed with PD initially experience mild symptoms, but over time the symptoms become debilitating. Given their intensive care requirement, most married people living with PD receive care from their spouses; most are female caregivers. Because caregiving is hard work with long hours, caregivers experience stress, fatigue, and depression, often leading to exhaustion and burnout. The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study is to understand the lived experience of women caregivers of husbands living with PD. As part of this study protocol, women caring at home for their husbands diagnosed with PD will be purposely recruited from the Colorado Parkinson Foundation. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted by Zoom© until data saturation is achieved. Colaizzi’s seven-step process will be used to analyze the data in Atlas.ti. Strategies have been incorporated into the study protocol to maximize trustworthiness and to insure methodological rigor. The study will be reported using recommendations from the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research and the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research. Findings from this study may guide intervention development to improve the caregiving experience and to inform clinical practice guidelines for health care professionals.

“…Kişiler arası bakım ilişkisi ile güven ve şefkate dayalı bir bakım sayesinde iyileşmenin sağlanacağını belirtmektedir. Bakım anı ise; hemşire ile hastanın bir araya geldiği ve karşılıklı etkileşimin oluştuğu andır (12). Watson'ın bakım yaklaşımı hastayı bütüncül ele almaya önem verir (4), aynı zamanda hümanistiktir (11).…”

Psikiyatri hemşireliğinin temeli, bakım veren hemşire ile hasta arasındaki ilişkidir. Hemşire-hasta iletişimi, iyileştirici bir ilişki kurmanın aracı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ruh sağlığı bölge hastanelerinde çalışan hemşirelerin bakım odaklı hemşire-hasta etkileşimine yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışma, beş adet ruh sağlığı bölge hastanesinin yetişkin psikiyatri servisinde çalışan hemşirelerle yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya toplam 155 hemşire katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında "Hemşire Bilgi Formu" ve "Bakım Odaklı Hemşire-Hasta Etkileşimi Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri IBM SPSS V25 programı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde sayı (n), yüzde (%), ortanca (medyan) değerleri ile Kruskal Wallis H testi, Mann Whitney U testi ve post-hoc testleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin %71'i kadın, %74.2'si lisans mezunu ve %45.8'i 11 yıl ve üstü çalışma deneyimine sahiptir. Yaş ortalamaları 34.5 ± 8.8'dir. Hemşirelerin ölçeğe ait toplam puan ortalamaları önemlilik alt boyutunda 311, yeterlilik alt boyutunda 296, uygulanabilirlik alt boyutunda ise 283 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin bakım odaklı hemşire-hasta etkileşimine yönelik tutum ve davranışlarının olumlu düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin mezuniyet sonrası ruh sağlığı alanında lisansüstü eğitim almaları konusunda teşvik edilmesi, iletişim ve iyileşme odaklı bakım konularında eğitimlerin planlanması, bakım odaklı hemşire-hasta etkileşimine yönelik geniş örneklem grupları ile daha fazla çalışma yapılması önerilmektedir.
