Are science and caring compatible?

Abstract

Scientific progress has led us to believe we are masters of our destiny and in control of our world. But, science and technology can destroy our humanity if they serve no higher power than their own advancement. We can be overwhelmed by a surplus of information that clouds our thoughts and hinders us as we try to find true meaning and purpose in our lives.

Envisioning nursing in 2050 through the eyes of nurse theorists: Leininger and Watson.

Madeleine Leininger and Jean Watson envision how their theoretical ideas will be expressed in the world in 2050. Leininger explains how her theory and ethnoresearch methodology have given rise to transcultural nursing and the culture care nursing paradigm and predicts that they will continue to contribute to culturally congruent care practices that promote health, healing, quality of life, and even world peace. Watson provides a vision based on an emergent perspective that emphasizes subjective dimensions related to self-knowledge, self-control, self-caring, and self-healing potential; spirit and wholeness of being/becoming; natural healing approaches; and caring, healing relationships with self and others.
