Maggie Learns about Watson's Theory of Caring on the Units!

St. Joseph Hospital has adopted Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring to guide our caregivers in building and recognizing transpersonal caring moments with our patients. The Theory's 10 Caritas Processes such as Loving Kindness, Authentic Presence, & Healing Environment allow patients and caregivers to truly connect, building patient and nurse satisfaction levels! Magnet Maggie recently visited St. Joseph's Med-Tele unit to learn how our caregivers are adapting Watson's Theory into practice.

Stay tuned for more of Maggie's travels on the units in 2011!
