Attentively embracing story, a middle range nursing theory, is presented and its use in practice is discussed. The relevance of story path, represented by story-line and markings, is made explicit in the practice application, which describes using the theory with a person who has heart disease. The healing potential embedded in the human story is made explicit through the theory of attentively embracing story. Practicing with the theory is a healing art that promotes the transformational and self-transcendent potential of people.

Individualize Care

The author assumes that practice became prominent in nursing theory in the first two decades of the 21st century. The end of the last century saw a burgeoning of literature on what is known as grand theories, their implementation, and evaluation. The era of healthcare quality research began when the Institute of Medicine issued a report on building a safer health system. At this time, the 21st-century literature in nursing took a distinct turn toward practice, influencing nursing theory. The movement to individualize care acted to further this influence. The nurse and patient relationship is the source of data for knowledge development. Established research approaches such as grounded theory and new approaches such as story theory were being used to create nursing theory from practice. Grand theory work moved to the development of instruments to measure the effects of theory in practice, such as that of Watson and Roy. The middle-range theories were developed and seen as closer to and easier to use in practice. The evidence-based practice movement also contributed to the role of theory in practice. These knowledge developments led to nurses having expanded roles in nursing.

Constant Comparative Analysis

Caring expression in nursing is rapidly changing to include the use of sophisticated healthcare technologies. Unfortunately, few nurses participate in developing healthcare technologies. The current study aimed to generate a theory of nursing grounded in the phenomenon of nursing technologies creativity in nursing practice. The study design used a constructivist grounded theory. Sixteen Indonesian nurses selected by purposive sampling were interviewed in-depth. Data analysis used constant comparative analysis through Charmaz’s coding process. This study generated two core conceptual categories that included technological creativity and drivers for technological development. Five theoretical statements were developed leading to the Technological Creativity as Caring in Nursing Theory. This theory is a middle-range theory that focuses on technological creativity to express caring for patients, nurses, and management in nursing practice.

There has been much written about the importance of care that is centered on persons and their loved ones. Patient-centered care has been central to nursing practice and unique nursing knowledge. This central focus provides an opportunity for nurses to develop policies that may affect practice so that practice is consistent with a distinctive knowledge base. The purpose of this paper is to discuss patient-centered care and nursing theory.

Given global proliferation of healthcare robots in hospital and home settings, guidance for shared nurse–robot practice is essential if nurses are to be influential participants in the design, implementation, and evaluation of this new practice partnership. Van Wyneberghe's Care-Centered, Value-Sensitive Design-approach, grounded in ethical theory and healthcare robotics, was identified as a likely fit with the grand nursing theory of Nursing as Caring. Following analysis of congruence and dissonance, a model for a new middle range theory was developed. The Dance of Living Caring has the potential to maintain caring as nursing's central value as robotic technology advances.

Definition Of

Even though the theories of caring and health have been developed largely along separate tracts of nursing theory, there is considerable overlap between them. Each is embedded in the explanation and application of the other. This paper illustrates some of the connections between caring and health. Moreover, one’s definition of health makes a difference in the intent of nursing practice. The meaning of health as expanding consciousness is elaborated on as a research-practice process. Within this context, Jean Watson’s views of consciousness are compared with those of the author.
