Nurses, instructors and policy-makers can use the results of this study. They should consider compassionate care as an important component of patient-centred care. Compassion should be considered in nursing and practical educational programmes. To develop the compassionate care, it is vital to make changes in the dominant philosophy and culture of caring environments. Nurses should receive appropriate training with focus on holistic and patient-centred approaches.

“…In this study, we focused on the phenomenon of compassion, which can be seen as the heart of caring (Chambers & Ryder, , ). Compassion is also considered to be the basis for ethical codes in nursing (Tehranineshat, Rakhshan, Torabizadeh, & Fararouei, ) and is one of the five values required of a professional nurse (International Council of Nurses, ).…”

“…In research, compassion is described as a complex and multifaceted psychological and social process part of human nature (Gilbert, ) and deeply relational (Sinclair, Norris, et al, ; Spandler & Stickley, ). Different attributes such as sensitivity, dignity and respect (Chambers & Ryder, ), listening and responding (Chambers & Ryder, ; van der Cingel, ), attentiveness, confronting, involvement, helping, presence and understanding (van der Cingel, ) and genuine connection (Burnell, ) have been associated with compassion. Compassion is also perceived to be a virtue that should be cultivated as an aspect of individual character (Bradshaw, ; Burnell, ; Jull, ; McCaffrey & McConnell, ; Schantz, ; von Dietze & Orb, ).…”

Aim The aim of this study was to illuminate nurses’ experiences of mediating compassion to patients in the home care context. Design A phenomenological–hermeneutical approach was used. Methods The data comprised of texts from interviews with 12 nurses in a home care context. Informed consent was sought from participants regarding participation in the study and the storage and handling of data for research purposes. Results Four themes were seen: Encountering one another as human beings, Being in the moment, Bearing responsibility for the other and Being in a loving communion. The overall theme was Acting from one's inner ethos, heart of goodness and love. Mediating compassion as belonging can be interpreted as the “component” that holds the caring relationship together and unites the different levels of health as doing, being and becoming in the ontological health model. Further research should focus on revealing compassion from the perspective of patients.

Aged care as a bellwether of future physiotherapy

Physiotherapy Theory and Practice

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aged care is becoming an increasingly significant feature of health care, but it is not an area physiotherapists have traditionally favored. Aging populations of increasingly chronically ill people represent the most important community of need in health care however, and so physiotherapists risk being marginalized if they do not adapt their practices to meet this growing need. Aged care may therefore represent a testing ground for a new physiotherapy, and the lessons learned in reforming physiotherapy for older adults may extend to all aspects of practice. In this paper, I explore how our current approach to aged care came about, and make the case for change. Having critiqued biomedicine, I also argue that the newer holistic models of health care are equally inadequate, because they attempt to dissolve important philosophical differences between physical, experiential, and social paradigms into an amorphous whole. I argue that these 'embodied' models of health make a holistic approach to aged care impossible and, instead, suggest new materialism and object-oriented ontologies as alternative physiotherapy paradigms.
