This keepsake book contains a collection of lived out stories written by care givers, revealing a personal or professional truth – exemplars of the Watson 10 Caritas Processes® which is the core of the Theory of Human Caring.
‚I hope the caring moments described in this book will inspire and encourage readers as they travel their own unique caring paths.‘ Kathleen Sitzman, Ph D, RN, CNE, ANEF, FAAN
‚These stories cross and transcend cultures, roles, professions, borders and boundaries in locations around the world. The Caritas stories and shared experiences unite us in our humanity, across time and space, congruent with an online virtual world of today, whereby space connects, rather than separates.‘ Jean Watson, Ph D, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, LL (AAN)
The collection in this book originated from participants taking a free online course entitled ‚Caring Science Mindful Practice‘ facilitated by Kathleen Sitzman.
In 2015 when I offered the first Caring Science, Mindful Practice Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), I didn’t know if anyone would come, or if anyone would want to share Caritas moments from their own experiences in a public forum. Through the process of teaching this course, I have learned that people in nursing, allied health, and beyond; experience support, companionship, fulfillment, validation, encouragement, and inspiration through sharing their own unique Caritas moments and reading those of others within this global caring community that continues to grow each time the course is offered. I hope the caring moments described in this book will inspire and encourage readers as they travel their own unique caring paths.
