Essentially based on humanistic values of respect, collaboration, and uniqueness rather than on objectification, control, and the categorization of the person cared for, a professional’s practice, when rooted in caring, is aimed at helping individuals and their families. This can only be carried out through respect for human dignity. If we are to consider caring as the core of nursing, nurses will undoubtedly have to make a conscious effort to preserve human caring within their clinical practice (Cara, 2004b; O’Reilly, 2008; Watson, 2002). However, to support this endeavor, caring theories, such as the one proposed by Jean Watson, are essential. Inspired by Cara’s (2003) continuing education paper, this discussion paper takes a pragmatic approach to promoting understanding of the key elements in Watson’s caring theory through a process of reflective practice within a clinical situation of rehabilitation.
