Caring is the very core of nursing, but can it be measured? Dr. Jean Watson and colleagues have gathered all the available measurement instruments on caring in nursing in this book, along with discussion of their origins, development, and use. Nurse clinicians, educators, researchers, and managers will find this a valuable resource."This work ... is not an answer to the issue of how to capture caring in nursing practice, rather, the instruments simply serve as indicators along the way. Nevertheless, empirical indicators that move us closer to recognizing and honoring the deeply human nature of nursing's caring work warrant attention and use in clinical inquiry."
