Her theory which came out in 1979 is strictly about caring, combined with spiritual dimensions into nursing practice. Watson sees the person as “a mind-body-soul connection”. Effective caring encourages health as well as individual or family growth. In addition, Watson’s faith and hope idea are vital to both the carative and the curstive processes. When current science has nothing further to offer the patient, faith and hope can serve as a sense of well-being through beliefs which are meaningful to the individual. Jean Watson’s carative factors include the formation of a humanistic i.e. an altruistic system of values which begins developmentally at an early age with the values shared with the parents. Cultivation of compassion to one’s self and to others recognizes the need of the nurse to begin to feel an emotion as it presents itself. A nurse becomes more trustworthy when the development of trust is familiarized. This encourages self-growth and self-actualization, in both the nurse and the patient he or she come in contact
