Watson's Ten Caritas Processes with the Lens of Unitary Human Caring Science
Nursing Science Quarterly.
(2021)
Abstract
The author in this paper articulates how Watson’s caritas processes evolved to caritas-veritas light on virtues, facilitating unitary transformative experience. This shift builds harmonic coherence between major streams of consciousness that focus on (a) the physical and conceptually concrete (objective/quantitative/particulate/determinate); (b) the mental, emotional, meaningful/ belief systems (subjective/qualitative/interactive/integrative); and (c) the gestalt of spirit and the natural environment (virtual/ quantum/unitary/transformative). The lived experience of harmonically braided streams of consciousness melds human- environment, potentiating health, healing, love, and compassion. Unitary transformative pandimensional awareness unfolds in the consciousness and everyday life of the practicing nurse, facilitating a direct experience of sacred praxis.
