A Concept Analysis of Pressure Ulcer Care Integrating Theory of Human Caring
1Department of Nursing, Universitas Muhammadiyah Magelang, Indonesia.
Background:
The theory of human caring is essential as a guiding framework in nursing practice. The theory prioritises the humanistic aspects of healing and well-being. However, none of the studies have applied this theory to developing concepts for pressure ulcer (PU) care.
Aim:
This study aimed to develop a concept of PU care based on the theory of human caring.
Method:
This study utilised Walker and Avant's approach along with Watson's theory of human caring. A review of English-language publications from 2000 to 2024 was conducted across multiple databases, including Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, CINAHL, SAGE Journals, SpringerLink and Google Scholar.
Results:
The study proposed an operational definition of PU care based on Watson's theory of human caring. The theory's carative factors were integrated to enhance wound healing. This model provides a meaningful philosophical foundation and emphasises the holistic unity of mind, body and spirit in relation to the PU care.
Conclusion:
The model encourages nurses to move beyond technical proficiency and integrate the art of caring into their practice. Additionally, close collaboration among healthcare professionals, families and patients is essential for delivering efficient and effective care.
