The Caring Occasion Jean watson
Watson Says… “ ” • A poignant human- to human interaction • “manifests within a healing consciousness” (pg. 411) • a Metaphysical Experience (Watson’s use of energy fields and transcendence) (George, 2002) ( www.shiftinaction.com, 2005)
Associated Concepts Healing Consciousness Transpersonal Caring • Obtaining a certain method of thinking in the dynamics of transpersonal caring • The state of the nurse’s consciousness affects the energy fields of others • “The caring-healing process is connected with the other human(s) and the higher energy of the universe…” (Watson, 2008) • The deep connected quality of human-to-human interaction • The sharing of oneself (by both patient and nurse) in the healing process • Healing modalities that are rooted in intentionality and promote human dignity… (George, 2002)
Associated Concepts The Ten Carative Factors The Postmodern Mindset • 1. Practice kindness, 2. presence, 3. transpersonal self, 4. helping-trusting function, 5. feeling expression (+ & -), 6.creative self, 7. teaching-learning function, 8. healing environment, 9. intentional care essentials, 10. existential dimension of life and death (Sitzman & Eischelberger, 2004) • Multiple truths • Physical and nonphysical phenomena • Relativity of time and space • Emerging artistry, spirit-metaphysical, holographic, etc. (George, 2002)
How do we facilitate the “Caring Occasion”? • The nurse must bring to the table their unique life histories (Sitzman & Eischelberger, 2004). • Transpersonal caring behaviours, in accordance with the 10 Carative Factors • “Emotional catharsis and ‘intersubjective flow’” (Mullaney, 2000).
