Area of Science:

• Nursing
• Education
• Health Sciences

Background:

• Caring science offers a theoretical framework for effective caring practice.
• The lifeworld approach is crucial for understanding both caring and learning processes.
• Bridging the gap between caring science theory and practical application requires specific learning support.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore how caring science can inform and improve caring practice.
• To identify learning support mechanisms for translating caring science into practice.
• To demonstrate the interconnectedness of caring, learning, and life through research examples.

Main Methods:

• Qualitative research approach utilizing a lifeworld perspective.
• Analysis of two research examples: one from a caring context, one from a learning context.
• Examination of the intertwining of caring and learning processes.

Main Results:

• Caring science, grounded in the lifeworld approach, supports practical caring.
• Learning and caring are parallel, intertwined processes inseparable from life.
• Research examples illustrate the potential of this approach in promoting health, well-being, and learning.

Conclusions:

• A lifeworld-based approach is essential for integrating caring science into practice.
• Effective learning support can facilitate the transformation of caring science into tangible practice.
• Strategies rooted in this approach can profoundly enhance individual health and learning outcomes.
