caring : perceptions of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and a community college diploma nursing program
abstract
while caring has been a recent focus of nursing and curricula for
nursing education, little research exists on student and faculty
perspectives of caring. there is a particular lack of research on
caring within diploma nursing programs which prepare the majority
of registered nurses in ontario. this researcher sought to
investigate to what extent a diploma nursing program in an ontario
community college, enables caring among its' 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and faculty.
what behaviours/practices inhibit and foster caring from student
and faculty perspectives? a phenomenological approach was used to
gain the student and faculty views of caring and uncaring
experiences within the nursing program. three senior nursing
世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and three full-time nursing faculty described their
experiences of caring and uncaring, and the effects of these
experiences on them. the descriptions were analyzed using a
modification of giorgi's method of analysis. based on the findings,
behaviours which inhibit and foster caring were identified. the
meaning of caring for each participant and for the whole was
described and a visual description of the structure of the meaning
of caring is proposed. the visual description illustrates
vulnerability as pivotal to the caring experience and the effect of
behaviours which inhibit and foster caring on the extent to which
caring is enabled. the emergence of the role and importance of the
one cared-for and their freedom to be cared-for is discussed. two
categories of caring emerged from this study, day to day caring and
caring in a crisis. the two categories of caring are compared to noddings* (1984) discussion of 'rule-bound* caring and caring
without rules. a question is raised regarding a relationship
between faculty caring and the nursing 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
' apparent conflict
with their image of a nurse and their image of themselves.
implications of the research include development of strategies to
foster caring in practice and in education and the development of
nursing curricula to incorporate theories of caring and qualitative
approaches to learning. there are implications for faculty in terms
of collegial relationships and as role models for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and each
other. further research on the notion of vulnerability in caring
and what influences one to care or not care is suggested. research
focusing on the one cared-for and on the possibility of faculty-student
research teams is recommended.
