    Essay on Caring in Nursing Practice

    The Meaning of Caring


    Caring is demonstrated in nursing as well as in other professions through the
    attainment of aptitudes and practices consistent with beliefs about one’s professional
    role: cognitive, affective, technical, and administrative(Roach, 2002). Caring is
    considered to be unique in nursing, not unique to nursing (Roach, 2002). As the
    “human mode of being,” caring does not distinguish nursing from other professions or
    occupations, for example, medicine, social work, teaching, or parenting. Caring is
    unique in nursing in that it subsumes all other characteristics descriptive of nursing
    (Roach, 2002).
    a. Compassion
    Compassion is described as the ability to enter into the experience of the
    other; to engage in activities with another individual in a way that is
    supportive (Roach, 2002). Sharing offers an opportunity to engage with
    awareness in a relationship that includes both the cognitive and the affective
    response of the nurse.
    b. Competence
    Competence is our aptitude to acquire and comprehend knowledge,
    applying the expertise required to provide for specific needs and to view
    another with dignity in a holistic manner allows us to demonstratethis caring
    attribute (Roach, 2002).
    c. Conscience
    Conscience is defined as a state of moral awareness guiding the
    healthcare professional’s attentiveness to ethical issues(Roach, 2002). To
    develop a conscience sensitive to moral issues, we must act from a place of
    informed knowledge.
    d. Confidence
    Confidence is portrayed as “… the quality that fosters trusting
    relationships”(Roach, 2002, p. 56). When healthcare personnel are dedicated
    to a patient-centred approach, the development of a trusting relationship is
    easier to achieve (Hentz &Lauterbach, 2005; Rundqvist & Lindström,2005).
    e. Commitment
    Commitment is depicted as a complex affective response characterized by a
    convergence between one’s desires and one’s obligations, and by the deliberate
    choice to act in accordance with them (Roach, 2002,p. 62). Commitment is
    evident when choice is so firm that what one commits oneself to do is
    synonymous with what one prefers to do. It shapes one’s identity as a
    professional, caring person.
