Despite a high priority placed on theory-testing in nursing, there continues to be minimal research undertaken which adequately tests nursing theories. A study was planned to contribute to theory-testing in nursing by testing an aspect of Watson's (1988) theory of human care. Watson essentially believes that nursing is an intersubjective human process and places a high value on the caring relationship between the nurse and the recipient of care. Before proceeding with the intended study, the following analysis and evaluation of Watson's theory presented here was undertaken, with guidance from a tool developed by Fawcett & Downs (1992). In this tool, the analysis identifies the concepts and propositions that make up the theory and the evaluation includes the criteria of significance, internal consistency, parsimony, testability and empirical adequacy of the theory being tested. Overall, this analysis and evaluation found two areas of Watson's work which were in need of further development.
尽管护理领域高度重视理论检验，但仍有极少的研究对护理理论进行了充分检验。本研究旨在通过检验沃森（1988年）的人类关怀理论的一个方面，来推动护理领域的理论检验。沃森认为护理本质上是一个主体间性的人类过程，并高度重视护士与受护者之间的关怀关系。在进行这项预期研究之前，在福西特和唐斯（1992年）开发的工具的指导下，对沃森的理论进行了以下分析和评估。在这个工具中，分析确定构成该理论的概念和命题，评估包括所检验理论的重要性、内部一致性、简洁性、可检验性和实证充分性等标准。总体而言，该分析和评估发现沃森的理论中有两个领域需要进一步发展。
