Understanding the Importance of Values and Moral Attitudes in Nursing Care in Preserving Human Dignity

Dagfinn Nåden, RN; PhD

Associate Professor, Oslo University College, Faculty of Nursing, Oslo, Norway

Katie Eriksson, RN; PhD

Professor, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Åbo Akademi University, Department of Caring Science, Vasa, Finland

The purpose of this investigation was to explore when nursing becomes an art, and to develop a theory/model of nursing as art. The overall design of the investigation was qualitative, and phenomenological-hermeneutic. The five substantial categories in the theory/model are: Invitation and confirmation, encounter, values, moral attitude and demeanor, the act of good will, and aesthetic communication. One main finding of this nursing investigation based on the caring perspective was that values and a thoroughly moral attitude and demeanor are central when nursing becomes an art.

Key Words: human dignity • moral attitude • nursing art • value
