He has been a Professor and is recognized at universities throughout the United States and has

Dr Watson's caring philosophy is used to guide transformative models of caring and healing

Caring, the nation's first chair in Caring science, based at the University of Colorado Denver & Health
Sciences Center.

As a writer or co-author, he has written more than 14 books on caring. His latest book is on
the empirical measurement of caring, for the new modern philosophy of caring and healing. His
books have received many annual AJN awards. Where in the contents of his book he seeks to bridge
the paradigm and lead to a transformative model for the 21st century. Watson (1988) and George
(1990) in Sartika (2011) define caring more than an existential philosophy, he views it as a spiritual
basis, for him caring is a moral ideal of nursing. Humans will exist when their spiritual dimensions
increase, indicated by self-acceptance, a high level of self-awareness, strength from within,
intuitiveness. Caring as the essence of nursing means also a responsible nurse-client relationship,
where nurses help gain knowledge and improve health. "Theory of Human Caring" (Watson),
emphasizes the types of relationships and transactions that are needed between providers and
recipients of care to improve and protect patients as human beings that affect the patient's ability to
heal. Watson suggests that caring is at the core of nursing.

In this case, caring is the embodiment of all the factors used by nurses in providing health
serviceson the client. Then caring also emphasizes individual self-esteem, meaning that in carrying
out nursing practice, nurses always respect the client by accepting the client's strengths and
weaknesses. Watson also suggests that each individual's response to a health problem is unique,
meaning that in nursing practice, a nurse must be able to understand each client's different
responses to the suffering he or she is experiencing and provide appropriate health services in each
different response both currently and will occur. . In addition, caring can only be shown in
interpersonal relationships, namely the relationship that occurs between nurses and clients, where
nurses show caring through attention, interventions to maintain client health and positive energy
given to clients. Watson also argues that caring includes a commitment to provide nursing services
that are based on science. In practice, nurses are challenged not to hesitate in using their
knowledge in nursing practice.
