The School of Nursing at which the author is an instructor has decided to revise its curriculum. The new curriculum will use Jean Watson's Theory of Caring as its theoretical base. This qualitative study was undertaken to help clarify the meaning and value of caring in nursing practice as perceived by second-year diploma nursing students. When the data were analyzed, three categories of nurse behaviors emerged that were perceived as caring: giving of self, meeting patients' needs in a timely fashion, and providing comfort measures for patients and their families. The results of this study can be interpreted as a social constructive view of caring in the practice of nursing. These outcomes may help to define and teach caring nurse behaviors in a curriculum based on the Theory of Caring.
作者任职的护理学院决定修订其课程。新的课程将采用琼·沃森的关怀理论作为其理论基础。这项定性研究旨在帮助阐明二年级护理文凭学生所感知的护理实践中关怀的意义和价值。在分析数据时，出现了三类被视为关怀的护士行为：奉献自我、及时满足患者需求以及为患者及其家属提供安慰措施。本研究结果可被解释为护理实践中关怀的社会建构观点。这些成果可能有助于在基于关怀理论的课程中界定和教授关怀护士行为。
