“…There are times that caring means being hard and doing what others do not want, as was noted in the findings related to responsibility and freedom. Jensen et al (18) described caring as risk-taking, advocacy, fearlessness and connectedness. All of these descriptors can be directly found in the present findings, with the exception of connectedness.…”

There has been little research that has addressed the practices of nurses who go beyond the usual scope of practice to demonstrate caring. In this study, a grounded theory methodology was used to interview 18 nurses identified as exceptional caring nurses. The core process identified was giving and involved gifts (particularly of time), responsibility and choice, teaching, vulnerability, preserving dignity, caring with and for coworkers, being truly present, and always finding a way. Although the findings of this study are not necessarily generalizable, it is important to acknowledge that these practices occur and that they should not automatically be discredited. The research has implications for the new emerging field of boundaries in professional relationships.

“…By using competence, compassion, courage and concordance, the nurses caught the patient's wavelength and created caring moments (58). In these caring moments, both patients and nurses realized their intersubjective connectedness and mutual attention and trust.…”

“…In a study of nurses with a special gift for caring (i.e. excellent in clinical practice), Jensen and Bäck-Pettersson (58,59) found that the ability to intentionally create caring moments was imperative. By analyzing caring situations important to patients, the nurses created caring moments through their consciousness and way of being, using their competence, compassion and courage.…”

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...
