THE CARING CONCEPT IN NURSING.

CARING CONCEPT IN NURSING.

This paper explores the concept of caring as it is expounded in two different nursing systems theories: Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model and Betty Neuman’s Neuman Systems Model.

Following a brief review of the literature to see how caring has been conceptualized and defined by various theorists, the analysis examines the specific applications of the caring concept (e.g., to nursing assessment, nursing care planning, and psychological intervention) in the theories of Roy and Neuman.
