constructions of culture have their
basis and the changes of value that
ethos undergoes
important principles in the caritative
caring Theory the substance and core of
caring are described as to care is to
tend Play and Learn and faith hope and
love the starting point is love Mercy
human kindness compassion and a caring
relationship Ericsson seeks answers to
the what of suffering through concept
analysis but she also discusses the why
question each suffering is unique there
is a connection between suffering and
desire where suffering gives birth to an
unsuspected life power that is not seen
as having any other source in suffering
itself
proceeding to The Meta Paradigm of the
theory
Erickson emphasizes a territative caring
relates to the animal's core of nursing
as described by Erickson the core of the
caring relationship between a nurse and
a patient is an open invocation that
contains affirmation that the other is
always welcome in the caring act the
patient is invited to a genuine sharing
in order to make the caring fundamentals
alive and active Ericsson constitutes
the Curtis motive as the core of all
teaching and fostering growth in all
forms of human relations according to
Ericsson the caritative Outlook refers
to the visibility of the characters
motive in a special ethical attitude in
caring which he formulates and specifies
in the caritative carrying ethics
Erickson brings south of caring Through
the Ages can be seen as various
expressions of love and charity through
the view towards elevating suffering and
serving life and health
she distinguishes between caring nursing
and nursing care according to Ericsson
nursing care is based on the nursing
care process and it represents good care
only when it is based on the innermost
core of caring
caring nursing represents a kind of
caring without a Prejudice that
emphasizes the patient and his or her
sufferings and desires person the
conception of the human being in
Ericsson's theory is based and action
that the Yemen being is an entity of
Body Soul and Spirit a human being is
fundamentally holy and this action is
related to the idea of Yemen dignity
which means accepting the human
obligation of serving with love and
existing for the sake of others the
human being is viewed as a constantly
evolving he is constantly changing the
Dual tendency of the human being also
emerges in his effort to be unique while
he simultaneously lost for belonging in
a larger community
the human being is fundamentally
dependent on communion where he can give
and receive love experience Faith and
Hope and be aware that this existence
here and now has meaning
the human being we meet in care is
creative and imaginative has desires and
wishes and is able to experience
phenomena as a result a human being is
insufficient in terms of its needs when
the human being enters the caring of
contacts he becomes a patient in the
original sense of the concept is
suffering human being
Ericsson defines Health as soundness
freshness and well-being the subjective
dimension of well-being is emphasized
strongly in the ontological conception
health is conceived as a becoming a
movement toward a deeper wholeness and
Holiness as a human being's Inner Health
potential is touched a movement occurs
that becomes visible in the different
dimensions of Health as doing being and
becoming with the wholeness that is
unique to human beings in doing so the
person's thought concerning Health are
focused on healthy life habits and
avoiding illness and being the person's
strives for balance in Harmony in
becoming the human being becomes whole
on deeper level of integration
environment in Ericsson sense the ethics
of carrying science as well as that of
caring consists of the idea of love and
charity and respect and honor of the
holiness and dignity of human beings
ethos is the sounding board of all
caring Athens is ontology in which there
is an inner art to and a target of
caring that has its own language and its
own key good caring and true knowledge
become visible through ethics ethos
originally refers to home or to the
place where human in feels at home it
symbolize the human being's in their
most space where he appears in his
nakedness
models for the conceptual model this
model of nursing distinguishes between
caring ethics the Practical relationship
between the patients and the nurse and
nursing ethics nursing ethics are the
ethical principles that guide a nurse's
decision-making abilities
carrots active carrying consists of love
and charity which is also known as
Caritas and respect and reverence for
human Holiness and dignity
according to the theory suffering that
occurs is a result of lack of caritative
care is a violation of human dignity
the key ideas of Ericsson's Fury of
carotative caring are linked to the
metaphoradem consists of human being
health and suffering caring an
environment
all of these are permitted with the
efforts of caritative carrying that is
the character's thought of human love
and mercy and the honoring of the
absolute Dignity of human beings
for the theoretical model Erikson's
leading thoughts have been not only to
develop the substance of caring but also
to develop pairing science as an
independent discipline
she wanted to go back to the Greek
classics by Plato secrets and Aristotle
from whom she found her inspiration for
the development of both the substance
and the discipline of caring science
from her basic idea of science as a
humanistic science she developed a meta
theory that she refers as the theory of
science for caring science
proceeding to the application of the
theory
first is the nursing practice
it's the 1970s Erickson's nursing care
process model was systematically used
tested and developed as a basis of
nursing care and documentation at the
helsinski University Central Hospital
Ericsson's thinking has been influential
in nursing leadership and nursing
Administration with the caritative
theory of nursing form support of the
development of nursing leadership at
various levels of the nursing
organization because Ericsson's thinking
and process bottle of the carrier
General the nursing care process model

contexts of caring from acute clinical
caring in psychiatric care to health

ideas and her caritative theory of

which is why several nursing units in
the Nordic countries have based their
practice in caring philosophy of a birth
Theory
under the nursing education

integrated into the education of nurses
at various levels and her books have
been included continuously and
examination requirements in various
forms of Nursing education in the Nordic
countries

degrees that started in 1986 at the
