“…The nurse invokes special competencies such as nurse-patient connection (Watson, 2008: 34;Kostovich, 2012: 169), therapeutic silence (Watson, 2008: 34;Hooper, 2013), nurse-patient sharing of stories and experiences (Kostovich, 2012: 169;Hooper, 2013), appropriate eye contact (Watson, 2008: 34;Kostovich, 2012: 169), respecting life, incorporating patients' values and beliefs in the care plan, promoting patients' growth, avoiding objectifying patients (Watson, 2008: 34), therapeutic touch, attentiveness, smiling, sense of humor, centering, and positive body posture (Kostovich, 2012: 169). These competencies make caring presence an integral aspect of nursing care (Mohammadipour, Atashzadeh-Shoorideh, Parvizy, & Hosseini, 2017). Narratives from participants' experiences in this study show that when the nurses were present in the ward, patients were promptly attended to.…”

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate and understand patient satisfaction with caring at a district hospital in Malawi. MATERIALS & METHODS: The study used a mixed methods design, employing the sequential explanatory strategy. A total of 120 adult patients completed a survey questionnaire (phase one), and of these, two patients were followed up with individual interviews (phase two). RESULTS: Data were analyzed using statistical procedures, thematic analysis and an integration process of quantitative and qualitative findings. Highest patient satisfaction (90.6%; M=4.53; SD=0.879) occurred with nurses’ presence; while lowest satisfaction (37.4%; M=1.87; SD=1.710) was seen with patient teaching. Patients’ lived experiences revealed that nurses’ demonstration of presence and professional proficiency were critical to caring. UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO THEORY, PRACTICE AND POLICY: To enhance improved caring, there was a need for nurses to increase personal presence, promote patient involvement in decision-making, and demonstrate competent confidence.

“…Dossey and Keegan ( 2016 ) argued that powerful healing could be facilitated, even whilst engaging in task-orientated nursing activities, through caring presence. Furthermore, several studies support the finding that patient-centred care is an important principle that underpins caring presence (Kostovich & Clementi 2014 ; Mohammadipour et al 2017 ). Kostovich ( 2012 ) confirmed that both being and doing, the essence of nursing presence, are reflected in individualised care.…”

Background: Practising caring presence is recognised as an important nursing intervention indispensable to high-quality, patient-centred care. An awareness of the real world of professional nurses (PNs) practising caring presence will assist in expanding and supporting the existing literature on the same. A clear and rich description of what the concept of caring presence entails within the unique South African nursing context may guide nurses in the art of this nursing skill, enhance their professionalism and facilitate the formulation of recommendations on how to encourage nurses to implement the practice of caring presence within nursing.Aim: This study explored and described the lived experiences of PNs practising caring presence in a rural public hospital.Setting: The study setting was a 120-bed, level-two district hospital in the North West Province of South Africa.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological method, specifically Husserl’s approach, informed this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 10 PNs. Data were coded and analysed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method.Results: Five themes emerged from the data analysis: professional caring presence, ethical caring presence, personal caring presence, healing caring presence and what caring presence is not.Conclusion: Professional nurses experience practising caring presence as professionally and personally fulfilling, as an expression of their passion for the profession, as a way of portraying ethical care, as a willingness to be personally present and as a healing experience that involves commitment and taking care of patients holistically. Unprofessional, unethical behaviour and depersonalisation of patients were indicated as uncaring behaviour.

Background:The presence of nurses at patients' bedside is regarded as an indication of the quality of care. There is not enough evidence on facilitators of nurses' presence at cancer patients' bedside.Aim:The present study aimed to investigate nurses' experiences of factors facilitating their presence at patients' bedside in oncology ward.Subjects and Methods:In this qualitative study, data were collected using purposeful sampling and semi-structured individual interviews with 25 oncology nurses from two teaching hospitals in Sari, Northern Iran, between 2016 and 2017. Interviews were digitally recorded, handwritten, coded, classified, and analyzed using conventional content analysis approach.Results:Data analysis led to the development of three main categories and seven subcategories. The first category, namely, “leverage spirituality” with two subcategories (motivational beliefs and religious motives). “Being with patient with compassion and commitment” is the second category with two subcategories (sense of altruism and compassionate care and adherence to the profession). The third category is “effective communication” with three subcategories (initial methods being patient, soothing communication, and intimate communication).Conclusion:The results of this study showed that nurses' spiritual beliefs, kindness, and professional commitment and establishing human-friendly relationships with the patient and family would help the nurses of the oncology unit to have a more effective presence in the patients' bed. It seems that further studies are needed to examine the facilitators of the presence of oncology nurses on patients' bedside based on severity of illness.
