Area of Science:

  • Nursing Theory
  • Bioethics
  • End-of-Life Care

Background:

  • Caring science provides a moral-ethical framework for nursing, emphasizing human dignity.
  • Conscious dying is a framework rooted in human caring, aiming to deepen awareness of end-of-life care.
  • Reflective inventories are established tools for nurses' professional growth and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an emerging metaparadigm integrating caring science and conscious dying.
  • To explore the use of reflective inventories in this integrated framework.
  • To link the individual nurse (self) with the broader nursing system.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual integration of caring science and conscious dying theories.
  • Application of reflective inventories for self-assessment and professional development.
  • Focus on both individual nurse and collective nursing practice.

Main Results:

  • An emerging metaparadigm is proposed, connecting self to system.
  • The integration offers a novel approach to nursing practice, education, and research.
  • Reflective inventories serve as a practical tool within this metaparadigm.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed metaparadigm enhances the ethical and holistic dimensions of nursing care.
  • Integrating caring science and conscious dying through reflective inventories supports nurse development.
  • This approach has the potential to transform nursing's approach to human dignity and end-of-life experiences.
