Nursing is placed within a humanistic framework in Paterson and Zderad's theory, which defines nursing as a nurturing response aimed at well-being. Three constructs of nursing, which describe the why and how of nursing practice, are identified: 'comfort', 'clinical' and 'all-at-once'. In this volume, O'Connor explores the origin of the theory and its underlying assumptions. She also examines the major concepts of the metaparadigm of nursing, including the nursing process.O'Connor, Nancy is the author of 'Paterson and Zderad Humanistic Nursing Theory' with ISBN 9780803944893 and ISBN 0803944896.
