Description

Caring in nursing. Caring is a fundamental concept in healthcare and thus deeply ingrained in the thoughts and actions of nurses. However, caring within modern health systems is fraught with challenges. The complex clinical environment is fast paced and demanding, and caregivers must balance completing tasks amidst time pressures and heavy workloads while attempting to keep up with practice changes such as new skills, treatments, and technologies. This project looks at the complexity of nursing care for people with both mental and terminal illness and what innovative care models could be developed. The project aim is to create a collective narrative of care and caring. This objective will include a variety of activities that culminate in a collective narrative - a co-developed story of care and caring.
