¶ … Caring is important to human kind and in our daily experiences. Although caring is fundamental, knowledge about it and its application is not one of the serious academic concerns. Caring as a topic can raise various descriptions. In nursing as a discipline of concern, caring relates to the ability and desire to help someone grow or overcome a depressing situation. Caring is the moral ideal in nursing practice. It involves ones will to care, and mind about the situation of others. In nursing practice, Caring is a process that nurtures itself from a person's moral responsibility to meet a society's mandate. According to Watson (1985), nurses are the caretakers of care for other helping professions. Nursing is the epitome of care and a nurse has to guard and develop the concept. Caring is not only required in nursing but also in various disciplines. Caring can develop from different motivational factors. The motivation to develop caring can be a necessity to save a situation or self-obligation. The relationship between one caring and one being cared for defines caring.
A caring occasion occurs when two people come together each with a unique history and experiences in a humanitarian operation. Caring develops from a transpersonal relationship. Transpersonal relationship helps to convey a concern to the internal life of the other who is fully embodied. The transpersonal relationship may go beyond the ego self of an individual and even beyond that moment to the deeper connection to spirit (Watson, 1985). Moral commitment and consciousness by a nurse may enhance and give potential to the human wholeness and healing. Through caring, one caring and the one being cared connect through a caring-healing process with the other people in the entire universe. The feeling of love, and care from the nurse connects to the patient through consciousness and this may dominate over physical dimensions. Caring is a crucial aspect and necessary for nurses and medical discipline.
