End of Life Decision-Making: Watson's Theory of Human Caring
1PhD Student, New York University, Rory Meyers College of Nursing, New York, NY, USA.
Abstract:
The phenomenon of end-of-life (EOL) decision-making is a lived experience by which individuals or families make decisions about care they will receive prior to death. A postmodern philosophical approach suggests EOL decision-making is a varied contextual phenomenon that is highly influenced by subjectivity. Thus, there is no specific definition for the phenomenon of EOL decision-making. Watson's theory of human caring complements a postmodern approach in guiding the nursing process of caring for individuals as they experience EOL decision-making.
