Abstract

Introduction: Jean Watson's Theory of Humanized Care advocates a holistic and compassionate approach to nursing, emphasizing the importance of attending to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients. However, its implementation faces challenges due to staff shortages and high demand in health care, raising the question of how to effectively incorporate this theory into nursing care for dying patients and their families in such a context.
Methods: A search was performed in Pubmed using "Watson's theory" AND Nursing as criteria. Eighteen relevant open access English and Spanish articles that met the established requirements were selected.
Results: The Theory promotes a holistic approach to nursing, addressing the emotional, spiritual and physical needs of patients. It emphasizes establishing a relationship of trust, respect and emotional connection, considering cultural diversity and creating an environment conducive to healing.
Conclusion: Watson's theory emphasizes compassionate care and emotional connection in nursing, considering diversity and the environment for patient recovery.
