“…Watson, in support of the theory, argued that "if human caring-healing is not sustained as part of our collective values, knowledge, practices, and global mission, the survival of humankind is threatened" (1996, p. 147). The Caring Behaviors Inventory-Elders (CBI-E) used to measure caring in this study was directly derived from the Theory of Human Caring and stresses the interaction of nurses and patients in therapeutic relationships (Fawcett, 2005;Wolf et al, 2004;Wolf, Zuzelo, Goldberg, Crothers, & Jacobson, 2006).…”

“…Total scores may range from 28 to 84. Patient and nurse versions differ by direction and according to role with items corresponding item by item (Wolf et al, 2006). For example, patients were asked "How often did the nurse caring for you give you your treatments and medications on time?"…”

“…Future studies of caring are required, aimed at establishing the association between patients' perceptions of caring and the satisfaction with care outcome (115), as well as of caring as a quality indicator The lived experience of caring is an area for further investigation. Research is needed to illuminate which health care professionals, organizational and social factors shape perceptions and behaviors of caring and how this occurs (105) Future studies on developing a conceptual framework for documentation that is capable of recording caring values, problem solving and patient satisfaction are highly recommended And finally, further studies are recommended to preserve and develop caring in the health care organization of today.…”

This thesis has a caring science perspective (caring in nursing). The general aim was to gain a deeper understanding of important aspects of caring in clinical practice from both the patients' and nurses' perspectives and to illuminate essential aspects of caring for future nursing research. In Study I, aspects of caring important to women (n = 10) suffering from breast cancer and the importance of the outcome of caring for patients' health and wellbeing was illuminated with a descriptive exploratory method. In Study II, caring and its influence on excellent nurses' (n = 5) attitudes, actions and professional growth was studied with a descriptive phenomenological approach. In Study III, caring as described in the medical and nursing records of lower-limb amputees (n = 45) was explored by content analysis. Study IV was conducted to illuminate essential areas in caring for future patient-related nursing research. A three-round Delphi technique was used on 95 nurses within a health care district.The results highlight the need for health care professionals who are competent, compassionate, courageous and concordant in order to develop caring in health care practice. The results also indicate that caring has a positive impact on vulnerable patients' health and wellbeing and on nurses' professional growth. Furthermore, this thesis explores the problem of documenting patients' suffering and caring needs in nursing records and the risk of inadequately prioritizing or of underestimating these needs. When prioritizing important areas for patientrelated nursing research, informed nursing practitioners prioritize research areas that will assure patients' wellbeing and a caring environment. Research areas across the full continuum of care, from wellness to death, are regarded as important. A focus on research aimed at preserving humanistic values and developing collaboration between health care providers across organizational boundaries in the health care system is stressed.This thesis points out the importance of caring encounters in modern health care practice and the need for investigation and research on connections with the creative use of health care resources in the 21 st century. SVENSK SAMMANFATTNINGDenna avhandling belyser några grundläggande aspekter av mänsklig omsorg (caring) inom professionell omvårdnad. Det övergripande syftet var dels att få en djupare förståelse för vilka aspekter av mänsklig omsorg i omvårdnaden (caring in nursing) som är väsentliga för både patienter och sjuksköterskor och dels att klargöra vilka områden inom mänsklig omsorg som sjuksköterskor prioriterar för framtida forskning. Avhandlingen har en vårdvetenskaplig ansats och är en sammanläggning av fyra delarbeten. Delarbete I och II belyser betydelsen av mänsklig omsorg från patienters och sjuksköterskors perspektiv. Delarbete III beskriver hur mänsklig omsorg dokumenteras i medicinska -och omvårdnadsjournaler. Delarbete IV visar på att mänsklig omsorg är ett prioriterat forskningsområde för framtiden. Delarbete I Mänsklig omsor...
