Abstract

Background: Being a grand theory, the Theory of Human Caring involves abstract concepts that should be analyzed to support research and nursing care delivery.

Objective: To analyze Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring according to Chinn and Kramer’s model description.

Main topics under analysis: A description of Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring based on her works, books and articles from other scholars, and a detailed analysis of the concepts, definitions, relationships, structures, and assumptions of her work.

Conclusion: The description of Jean Watson’s theory showed that it helps nurses provide a more effective care while considering its transcendent dimensions. The description of concepts, definitions, relationships, and structures can facilitate the understanding of her work, allowing the Theory of Human Caring to be applied to different contexts.
