Vorgestellt wird eine alternative Pflegetheorie basierend auf den Humanwissenschaften. Der Mensch wird darin als Teilhabender in der Pflegesituation verstanden. Hervorgehoben wird die Interaktion im Pflegeprozess zwischen dem Mensch, seinem Umfeld und seiner Gesundheit. Diskutiert werden die Auswirkungen, die diese Sichtweise auf die praktische Anwendung in der Pflege, auf die Pflegewissenschaft und auf die Ausbilung haben.

Book reviewed in this article: The Physician's Covenant: Images of the Healer in Medical Ethics. By William F. May.

A discussion of Christian ethics focuses on the physician's image as a parent, warrior against death, expert, and teacher, and the oath that guides his or her practice.

Concisely, humanistic nursing practice theory proposes that nursesconsciously and deliberately approach nursing as an existentialexperience. Then, they reflect on the experience and phenomenologicallydescribe the calls they receive, their responses, and what they come toknow from their presence in the nursing situation. It is believed thatcompilation and complementary syntheses of these phenomenologicaldescriptions over time will build and make explicit a science ofnursing.Notice: This Book is published by Historical Books Limited (www.publicdomain.org.uk) as a Public Domain Book, if you have any inquiries, requests (...) or need any help you can just send an email to [email protected] This book is found as a public domain and free book based on various online catalogs, if you think there are any problems regard copyright issues please contact us immediately via [email protected].
