Resumo

This classic book by renowned nurse theorist Jean Watson discusses the balance between science and caring that is the basis of the nursing profession. Watson's Theory of Human Care draws from the works of Western and Eastern philosophers, approaching the human care relationship as a moral idea that includes concepts such as phenomenal field, actual caring occasion, and transpersonal caring. Inherent in this theory are concepts of health and illness, the environment, and the universe.
