How can we put care back into spiritual care?

摘要

Nursing is thought of as a caring profession. However, all too often patients leave the hospital feeling nobody cared or they -were not cared for well. What does the word care mean and what is meant by caring? Sometimes care has an indifferent meaning, like when you ask if someone wants tea or water and they respond, "I don't care." In nursing care is central. Care tops the lists of outcomes and values we want for our nursing students. Some schools of nursing base curriculum on a caring model. The medical center near my College of Nursing requires all employees to sign a "CARE Behaviors" (Compassion, Attitude, Respect, and Excellence) commitment pledge.
