Summary:
The purpose of this phenomenological-hermeneutic study was to increase understanding of the caring experiences of the contemporary nurse executive practicing in four different types of health care systems. Nurse executives were asked to address the meaning of caring to them as a nurse executive. Five descriptive themes emerged from the participants: seeing things from a global perspective, advocating for the patient, providing an environment supportive of professional patient care, participating in the integration of services, and promoting a shared governance with the staff nurse or front line provider. An overall Interrelational Model of Health Care Delivery, derived from complexity science and chaos theory emerged from these descriptive themes.
