摘要

關懷被歸類為護理的藝術表現，也被認為是護理的核心內涵。關懷也呈現在不同的層面上，如滿足病人的需求的具體行為、同時也具有文化的特異性與倫理的面向。本質性研究的目的在由教育的立場探討護理關懷內涵在台灣社會的意義。資料收集採個別深入會談方式進行，共訪談22位包括資深護理教師、資深臨床專家、畢業生代表與高年級護生焦點團體。資料採內容分析法進行分析，結果發現護理關懷包含三項內涵：1. 瞭解病人，2. 協助病人渡過疾病不平順的過程，3. 擁護病人的權益。本研究結果可提供臺灣社會中對護理關懷內涵較佳的瞭解，並提供護理教育在關懷教學上的參考。

Caring has been categorized as the “art” of nursing, and is recognized as the core component of nursing. Caring also has been placed in the various perspectives of meeting patient needs, culturally specific and ethical dimensions. This qualitative study investigates the meaning of the concept of caring in nursing in Taiwan from an academic perspective. Data was collected by in-depth individual interviews of 22 informants, including senior nursing faculty members, senior clinical specialists, graduate representatives, and members of nursing student focus groups. The data was analyzed by content analysis. The findings concluded that caring consisted of three components: 1. knowing the patient, 2. helping the patients through the illness trajectory, 3. serving as a patient advocate. These findings might improve our understanding of nursing care in Taiwan, and also might provide a reference for teaching nursing care in academic settings.
