Applying Jean Watson's Transpersonal Theory of Caring

Introduction The super personal theory focused on by Jean Watson is that nurses need to care about their own values, experiences, and their basic needs (Ranheim, Karner & Bertero, 2012, p. 2). This theory attracted my interest when I first started clinical rotation at a special nursing home for the elderly. When interacting with patients, some nurses feel cold and selfishness. They are addressing the immediate clinical needs of patients, but it is difficult to see that they express sympathy and compassion for their patients.

I actually applied the theory of Jean Watson to study the interaction of nurse and patient encounter. To take care of my patients, personal relationships with caregivers are very important. Apply moment of care, person, health, nursing care, environment related nursing care. I am practicing Watson 's theory in everyday nursing practice. You do not need to learn theorists at school and regularly update them. None of you are kind to others, consider your needs, provide a favorable environment, listen carefully, or apply a care factor. These are like common sense of nurses. The theory is practiced early and a new theory is added to the career path. It is the application of these theories and their explanation that affects. This not only gives me a way of viewing about nursing during my nursing education as well as at home.

The first publication of Dr. Watson was published in 1979 and it introduced the super specialized care theory to the nurse. Watson's theory focuses on the conservation of human dignity and integrity. Super personal care theory arises from Watson's own personal values, beliefs and perceptions of human life, health and recovery. (Walker, 1996, p.144) Watson regards care as "the role of collective care and the mission for maintaining and maintaining its humanity and integrity in society" (Walker, 1996, p.144) . The theory is a worldview or ethics that can understand care about its health and healing tradition. Watson considers nursing as an academic discipline of human science and a specialized field of clinical practice. This theory considers care to be a social mission, "treating and handling the work of others with the most difficult journey of life" (Walker, 1996, p. 145). This theory analyzes care independent from care
