Four Es of caring in contemporary nursing: Exploring novice to experienced nurses.
Nursing & Health Sciences 2018 August 30
Caring seems to be undervalued in the technologically-advanced and fast-paced clinical environment. To improve nursing practice, it is important to understand the meanings of caring to nurses. The aim of the present study was to explore nurses' perspectives of caring in the contemporary clinical environment. A focus group exploration was employed. Multiple perspectives were elicited from 80 nurses with different backgrounds: nursing students, nurse educators, registered nurses, advanced clinical nurses, and nurse executives. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Nurses' understanding of caring could be described using four Es: engaging in reciprocal relationships, embracing the essence of caring, engendering instances of caring, and embodying caring in practice. Participants described nurses as having the dual roles of caregiver and care recipient. The centrality of caring in nursing and the necessity of caring for caregivers were emphasized. The nurses also described various caring behaviors in daily practice. The present study revealed that nurses need empowerment to sustain their compassion. The findings provide new insights, which indicate that the revitalization of nurses' passion for caring in the contemporary clinical environment should begin with caring for caregivers.
