Walking two worlds: transformational journals of nurse healers, a hermeneutic phenomenological investigation.Hemsley, Martin Unknown Date (has links)
This research investigated the transformative and extraordinary experiences of nurse healers. The broad aim of the research was to promote the role of the healer in nursing by providing data on the experiences specific to nurse healers’ evolution as healers. The research was theoretically informed by van Manen (1990, 1984) and utilised hermeneutic phenomenology. Van Manen’s emphasis on writing as the key element of phenomenology in lived experience research was employed to bring forth a sense of lived immediacy and aesthetic colour essential to phenomenological understanding. The thesis was also theoretically aligned with the conceptual model of nursing as a caring-healing profession, developed by Jean Watson (1999, 1990a, 1988, 1985a). In particular, this research drew on Watson’s explicit connection of nursing with healing and nursing practice with transformational, transpersonal and esoteric insights. There were eleven nurse (nine women and two men) participants in the study. All participants identified strongly as healers. Selection was based on how long, and important to the individual was their commitment to being a healer. The data collection method used was semi structured interview with a predominant focus on storytelling. The overarching theme of ‘Walking Two Worlds’ was identified, and within that five essential themes were uncovered: (1) Belonging & Connecting; (2) Opening to Spirit; (3) Summoning; (4) Wounding & Healing Journey; and (5) Living as a Healer. Implications for nursing discussed include the need for the profession to provide support to nurse healers as they encounter challenging experiences and to allow for ontological flexibility regarding the esoteric aspects of human/spiritual experience revealed by this research. Further the need to extend the understanding invoked by healing beyond the obvious and opening vistas into experience which have been previously repudiated by domineering, narrow and spirit-denying powers in our society is also discussed.

Intensive Care Unit Nurses’ Experience of Watson’s Theory of Human Caring Caritas Process Three: Cultivation of One’s Own Spiritual Practice and Transpersonal Self, Going Beyond Ego-SelfLeone-Sheehan, Danielle M. January 2019 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Jane M. Flanagan / Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nurses’ experiences of Watson’s Theory of Human Caring Caritas Process Three: Cultivation of One’s Own Spiritual Practices and Transpersonal Self, Beyond Ego-Self. Background: There is currently an inadequacy of spiritual care provided to patients and families in the ICU despite a significant articulated need. Nurses report discomfort with and a lack of preparation in providing spiritual care competently. Nurses with strong personal spiritual development are more likely to report comfort with spiritual caregiving and provide spiritual care. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring Caritas Process Three; Cultivation of One’s Own Spiritual Practice and Transpersonal Self, Going Beyond Ego-Self makes explicit the primacy of relationship between nurse spiritual development and transpersonal spiritual nursing care. However, the nature of spiritual development of nurses in the ICU remains unknown. Methods: A qualitative descriptive methodology with directed content analysis applying Watson’s Caritas Process Three was used to analyze data for this study. Results: Ten ICU Nurses provided evidence of the experience of Caritas Process Three. Five themes were identified in the analysis of data: Caritas nurses vary in their ability to move beyond ego-self, Personal spiritual practices serve as a barrier and/or facilitator to nurses’ ability to provide spiritual care, Critical illness as experienced by patients and families provided the opportunity for nurses to explore spirituality with other, The care environment serves as a barrier and/or facilitator to nurses’ personal spiritual growth, and Cultivation of spiritual practice and spiritual identity is integral to a life-long process of consciousness evolution. Conclusions: The findings of this study extend and inform Caritas Process Three of Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. Nurses in this study provide evidence for the primacy of personal spiritual development for the delivery of spiritual and transpersonal care for patients in the ICU. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2019. / Submitted to: Boston College.
