The Challenges of Teaching Caring as a Multidimentional Concept

Almater, Latifah . 2014

Teaching Caring Nursing Teaching

The foundation of nursing knowledge and nursing practice is caring. Caring is a moral (caring about) obligation and work responsibility( caring for). To study nursing is to study caring, to grow in an understanding of ‘self’ and ‘other’ as a caring person, and to be committed to the value of caring and to the health and wholeness of persons nursed. Although nursing faculties teach caring as the core concept of the nursing profession, they often concentrate their teaching more on the psychomotor and cognitive domains than on the affective domain of caring. The concentration on psychomotor and cognitive domains occurs because the physical demands of health care, and of the health care system (technology, etc.), are not only numerous, but concrete/visible, and therefore, measurable which are unlike the psychosocial demands. Clearly, despite its importance, a number of issues threaten to undermine the prominence of caring in nursing education. Nurse educators are challenged when teaching the multi-dimensions of caring and focus more on the psychomotor and cognitive domains than on the affective domain. Nursing students focus more on the psychomotor and cognitive domains because that is what is emphasized in both classroom and clinical settings. Thus, understanding and using a specific instructional method that focuses on teaching the affective domain while teaching cognitive and psychomotor may limit these challenges in teaching caring about while teaching caring for.
