Nursing As Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice
Boykin / Schoenhofer, February, 1999
The theory of Nursing As Caring is a general theory that is relevant to all situations of nursing practice. Early forms of the theory were first published in 1990 and 1991, with the complete exposition of the theory presented at a conference in 1992. This was followed by the publication of Nursing As Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice in 1993 and a revision in 2001. The theory serves as a framework for nursing scholars in the roles of practitioner, researcher, administrator, teacher and developer. The book is available for free download at Gutenberg.
