While aesthetics in nursing practice brings out the beauty in nursing, studies regarding how aesthetics are implemented in practice are lacking.
To describe the meanings of aesthetics in nursing practice experienced by nurses in Indonesia.
This qualitative study employed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach based on Gadamerian philosophy. Thirteen nurses were asked to reflect on their experiences of providing aesthetics in their practice through drawing, followed by individual face-to-face interviews. Data were collected in a public hospital in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The interview transcripts and the pictures were analysed following van Manen's approach.
Five thematic categories were revealed: 1) Engaging in caring for persons; 2) Full of compassion; 3) Sympathetic place of care; 4) A joyful time of care; and 5) Distracting the inconvenience in care.
Aesthetics in nursing practice is understood and experienced by Indonesian nurses in various ways, not only limited to the visual beauty, cleanness or tidiness of nursing intervention, but are expressed in other ways within caring, including providing care with compassion, applying the art of communication, relieving the pain, and applying innovation in care. These findings can be used to inform nurses in practising aesthetic nursing for enhancing the quality of care.
虽然护理实践中的美学展现了护理之美，但关于美学在实践中如何实施的研究却很缺乏。
描述印度尼西亚护士在护理实践中所体验到的美学的意义。
这项定性研究采用了基于伽达默尔哲学的诠释现象学方法。13名护士被要求通过绘画来反思他们在实践中提供美学护理的经历，随后进行个人面对面访谈。数据在印度尼西亚西苏门答腊的一家公立医院收集。访谈记录和图片按照范曼恩的方法进行分析。
揭示了五个主题类别：1）致力于照顾患者；2）充满同情心；3）充满关怀的场所；4）护理的愉悦时光；5）减轻护理中的不便。
印度尼西亚护士以多种方式理解和体验护理实践中的美学，不仅限于护理干预的视觉美、清洁或整洁，还在护理过程中通过其他方式体现，包括富有同情心地提供护理、运用沟通艺术、减轻痛苦以及在护理中进行创新。这些发现可用于指导护士实施审美护理以提高护理质量。
