Human caring processes: direction for nursing care

This article discusses Jean Watson theoretical work on human caring processes, which acknowledges unity of life and men-universe connection. Caring encompasses the reorganization of the human being in order to live deeply the different moments of life, and the breaching of old paradigms in relation to nursing care. Watson's theoretical work suggests different possibilities for nursing practice, teaching, and research.
