This article provides a brief review of Watson's theory of caring and demonstrates its usefulness as a framework for advanced practice nursing. Two case studies, a recently diagnosed patient who is positive for the human immunodeficiency virus and a patient terminally ill with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, are reviewed using the carative factors as a model for providing holistic, patient-focused nursing care. The value of this exercise lies in the demonstration of the applicability of caring theory as a framework for both symptom management and palliative nursing care.
本文简要回顾了沃森的关怀理论，并展示了其作为高级实践护理框架的实用性。使用关怀要素作为提供整体、以患者为中心的护理的模型，对两个案例进行了分析，一个是最近被诊断出感染人类免疫缺陷病毒呈阳性的患者，另一个是患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征的晚期患者。这项实践的价值在于证明关怀理论作为症状管理和姑息护理框架的适用性。
