| Summary: | This research explored the client's experience of nursing as the promotion of well-being. The question guiding the study was: What is the meaning of nursing as the promotion of well-being? Using a phenomenological-hermeneutical approach, eight participants described their experiences of the phenomenon. Three metathemes emerged and expressed nursing as the promotion of well-being: (1) Being There Conveys a Willingness to Relate; (2) Being With Enables the Feeling of Comfort; and (3) Being in Tune While Creating the Future. Further analysis led to the apprehension of a unity of meaning: An Emancipating Togetherness--The Creation of a Caring Synchrony that Empowers a New Meaning for Living. The metaphor, A Conspiracy of Caring, conveys a theory of the meaning of nursing as the promotion of well-being. | |
