“…Environmental factors such as supportive colleagues, adequate resources and an administration team that believes in and endorses holism, empower staff and contribute positively to the art of nursing. Employers have been shown to increase nurses’ belief in their ability to affect change by providing capacity and support to integrate holistic characteristics in day‐to‐day work (Appleton, 1993, 1994; Finfgeld‐Connett, 2008; Palos, 2014; Suárez‐Baquero & Champion, 2020), and this is a topic of ongoing interest. The resulting beneficial relationships decrease the worry, fear and suffering inherent in medical encounters and increase patient empowerment, informed decision‐making and even confidence in the medical system.…”

Aims and objectives:This study investigated the challenges of cross-cultural communication among internationally qualified nurses, and the impact on nurse-to-nurse and nurse-to-patient relationships.Background: Open and authentic communication between nurses and patients is required as a foundation of patient-centred practice; however, this may be a challenge in cross-cultural settings.Design: An exploratory qualitative study with an inductive approach.Methods: Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews explored the influences on communication and practice of 21 internationally qualified nurses practising in the United Arab Emirates. Manual and software-driven processes guided coding and analysis of data. Caring theory guided the analysis of themes; while COREQ criteria guided research conduct and reporting. Results: Four key themes emerged; (a) Challenges in communication, (b) The science versus art of nursing; (c) The impact of ineffective communication and (d) Strategiesfor coping. Eleven sub-themes are reported within these themes. Overall, nurses felt they had sufficient language and nursing skills to undertake the technical or scientific aspects of their work; however, they reported experiencing restricted ability to participate in complex cross-cultural conversations, such as providing explanations and reassurance about treatment options or discussing end of life and treatment decisions. This limitation diminished the nurses' ability to engage in the art of nursing and left them unable to employ themselves therapeutically to attain a sense of true presence with patients and their families. Conclusion:This article highlights the need for language and communication support, and Arabic-speaking advocates as partners in care for expatriate nurses.Relevance to practice: Internationally qualified nurses in this Middle Eastern setting lack cultural orientation and language skills to fully enact the art and true presence of nursing. Findings indicate that health service employers need to increase the employment of Arabic-speaking nurses and provide additional language for other expatriate nurses.| 147and other, and new life possibilities (Watson, 1985). Subsequently, Finfgeld-Connett (2008) concluded that there is a qualitative convergence of caring, true presence and the art of nursing; she argued that caring and presence-interpersonal processes that are characterised by sensitivity, holism, intimacy, vulnerability and adaptation to unique circumstances-underpin the art of nursing.Characteristics common to both the New Zealand and UAE studies include holism, attention to more than the physical, openness, intimacy, empathy and relationship-centredness; these qualities promote beneficent practice and result in increased physical and mental well-being among patients and increased joy and work satisfaction for nurses. Factors contributing to personal maturity, such as the ability to understand suffering, others' morals and values and the importance of dignity, have been shown to contribute to the art of nursing.

“…It can be concluded that human caring is a growing and evolving art in nursing 23 that brings the knowledge, ethics, art and creativity, skills, experience, and aesthetics together in order to bring the patient to a state of wellbeing and satisfaction with the life. 54 …”

Human Caring: A Concept Analysis

2022

Introduction: Human caring combines science, art, and humanity. Humanity is the heart of care and interpersonal interactions. Despite the critical emphasis on human caring and concern for nursing care without humanity, there is no clear definition for human caring in nursing. This study aimed to analyze the concept of human caring. Methods: Walker and Avant’s strategy for concept analysis was used. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Ovid, Google Scholar, Magiran, Iran Doc, SID, and a number of dictionaries were searched without any limitation in date. Search keywords were "care", "caring", "human caring", "humanization", "patient care", "comprehensive care" and "nursing care". We searched all documents published before September 2020. In the initial search, 1637 articles were found but finally, 39 relevant articles remained in the study. Results: The nine defining attributes of human caring were establishing therapeutic communication, presence at the patient bedside, empathy, providing scientific care, subjectivity, dynamicity, respecting the patient’s rights and ethics of care, helping the patient achieve a feeling of well-being, and art and creativity. Antecedents of human caring were categorized into three categories namely, human, personal, and organizational factors. The consequences were also categorized into consequences related to nurse, profession, patient, and organization. Conclusion: A theoretical definition and a conceptual model of human caring were developed. This concept should be included in the nursing curricula at all undergraduate and graduate levels and even in nurses’ in-service training programs.

“…Caring refers to the deep relationship between beings it is transcendent and independent of time and space. In this context, caring is used to describe the feelings, actions, and attitudes that nurses employ that help one to make an exceptional connection with others and take practice beyond routine actions and interventions [38]. This sitate, called praxis, is the moment in which nurses discover themselves.…”

Background Caring contains understanding and connecting with the individual and the process of providing the healing effect. Nurses' awareness of the science of care can be improved by analyzing and sharing their care experiences, including their healing power, with members of the profession. Aim The aim of this study was to understand the meaning of care from nurses' experiences and the real‐life stories told by nurses. Method A descriptive phenomenological design was used. A total of 124 stories told by 23 nurses participating in the training of Human Caring Theory constituted the sample of the study. The content analysis of the stories was carried out in four stages with Giorgi's phenomenological method analysis. Results Three themes and six subthemes were derived from the 124 stories. Three main themes: (1) care holds mysteries, (2) care as praxis and (3) obstacles to caring relationship. The first main theme consisted of three subthemes; “Hearing the call for help”, “Metaphysical presence” and “Discovery of the healing effect”. The second main theme consisted of three subthemes; “Criticism of the objective approach”, “Unforgettable experiences of carecaring experiences” and “Awareness of expertise”. Conclusion The use of stories in the training of Human Caring Theory that centers care, besides facilitating learning, has created awareness among nurses about the ‘Concept of Care’ and has been an important step towards developing awareness of care among nurses.
