REVIEW
The Pragmatic Utility of Watson-Based Caring Measures.
Journal of Nursing Measurement 2016 December 2
PURPOSE: This study aims to clarify the caring concept with emphasis on the pragmatic utility of caring measures.
METHOD: The Morse et al. (Morse, Hupcey, Mitcham, & Lenz, 1996; Morse, Mitcham, Hupcey, & Tasón, 1996) criteria for concept maturity were used as a framework. A literature review of Watson-based caring concept was undertaken to evaluate the logical, epistemological, linguistical, and pragmatic parameters.
RESULTS: The concept of caring as conceptualized by Watson and operationalized through different measures appeared mature. Despite differences, shorter scales of caring measures were effective to capture caring behavior.
CONCLUSIONS: Caring concept was further clarified and more confidence in using caring measures for assessment, evaluation, and modification of caring behavior become more feasible.
