  • Title: Nursing as the promotion of well-being: the client's experience.
    Author: Wallace CL, Appleton C.
    Journal: J Adv Nurs; 1995 Aug; 22(2):285-9. PubMed ID: 7593948.
    Abstract:
    An essential question of the discipline of nursing is: What do nurses do to promote the client's well-being? Using a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach to inquiry, this study explored the client's experience of nursing as the promotion of well-being, explicating in three distinct metathemes the meaning of well-being as transforming and nursing as caring. Based on this critical view of nursing, prospective directions for education, research and practice are suggested.
