Examining Swanson's Theory of Caring

Review care care theory The care theory (1993) is built on five principles, including the overall definition of care in nursing practice. The theory states that care focuses on 5 categories: understanding, existing, running, promoting, and maintaining beliefs. When applied to nursing practice, each of these five categories can improve the attitude of the caregiver and improve the overall health of the patient. In the field of care and other fields, care can be defined as "a way to nurture valuable people and a way to feel personal responsibility and responsibility."

In 1991, Swanson explained her intermediate care theory in nursing research. Swanson's theory is "inductive derivation and verification by phenomenological studies in three independent perinatal settings" (Swanson, 1991, p.161). Here, Swanson stated that nursing researchers identified care like Reinger or Watson, but "there is no universal definition or conceptualization of concern" (Swanson, 1991, p.161). "In the latest theory form, care consists of five categories or processes, which are (a) knowing, (b) and (c) doing, (d) making (e) believing. Although these are only categories, categories are not mutually exclusive as stated "(Swanson, 1991, p. 163)

A midwife in northern Ireland wrote the paper "Swanson's Care Theory and Development of a Case Study with Karper's Cognitive Approach". Midwives need a theory or model that matches the overall care provided by midwives. Swanson's caring theory is part of it. As Swanson is doing research in the perinatal period, we can see that Swanson's theory is related to midwife, but the author concludes that it can be used for this disciple too. Multiple theories I believe that concepts with different theories are better suited for specific events and patients, so I tend to agree with this.

Swanson Care Theory has been tested and used in nursing to further verify her concepts and demonstrate its effectiveness both at home and abroad. In Sweden there are research papers used to examine the theory of attention about Swanson and Watson's "to take care of loved ones to take care of the dead". (Andershed & Ternestedt, 1999, p. 45). I do not know if this research really warrants the theory of Swanson and the research team. There is evidence that the concept of Swanson is used, but I think that argument is confusing because it takes into account other theorists like Laininger and Watson. This research did not support or refute Swanson's theory
