Abstract

Bakım verme süreci bakım vereni biyo-psiko-sosyo-kültürel boyutlarda etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle bakım verenlere uygulanacak hemşirelik bakımının bireyin bütününe hizmet eden bir şekilde planlanması ve uygulaması gerekmektedir. Hemşirelik bakımını, bedensel, akılsal, ruhsal ve sosyokültürel yollarla iki kişinin karşılıklı etkileştiği bilimsel, etik, estetik, profesyonel bir süreç olarak tanımlayan Watson İnsan Bakım Teorisi, hemşirenin bakım verdiği bireyi sadece fiziksel değil sosyal, psikolojik, kültürel ve spiritüel yönden de ele almayı sağlayan bütüncül bir bakım modelidir. Bu makalenin amacı; Watson İnsan Bakım Teorisi’nin bakım verenlerin bakımında nasıl kullanılabileceği ile ilgili bir yol haritası çizmek, bir bakış açısı geliştirmektir.

Caring For Caregivers of Individuals With Dementia: From the Perspective of Watson’s Theory of Human Caring

Abstract

The caregiving process affects caregivers at bio-psycho-socio-cultural dimensions. Therefore, nursing care that will be carried out for caregivers should be planned and implemented in a way that cares for the whole of individuals. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring that defines nursing care as a scientific, ethical, esthetic and professional process during which individuals have a physical, mental, spiritual and socio-cultural interaction is a holistic caring model that requires taking the person into cosideration not only physically but also socially, psychologically, culturally and spiritually.  The purpose of this article is to provide a road map, create a new perspective about how to use Watson’s Theory of Human Caring as a guide for caring for caregivers of individuals with dementia.
