Phlebotomy collection is one of the most frequently experienced phenomena for patients in the hospital setting universally. Patients transferred from smaller hospitals to tertiary care hospitals are likely to experience repeat laboratory testing at the receiving facility. Unnecessary laboratory blood work can lead to several adverse events. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to discover and understand the lived experience of transferred patients who received repeat laboratory testing. Five essential themes were found through the process of selective thematic analysis. The Conceptual Model of Transferred Patients was designed and offered valuable insight from the patient’s perspective.

Caring is a foundational concept for professional nursing. Because a hospital may be an unfamiliar environment for patients, feeling safe is vital. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the importance of caring behaviors for making patients feel safe and their relationship with patient characteristics. Data analysis (n = 324) indicated “being listened to” was the most important caring practice, while having your nurses and doctors demonstrate professional knowledge and skill was the most important behavior for feeling safe. In today’s hospital environment, nurses need to provide patient care that patients consider caring and that helps patients feel safe.

In the abstract for “Editorial Reflection on Caring, Truth, Bias, Evidence, and Media Literacy During Current Events,” the editorial focuses on the current state of divided truth in issues facing today’s global citizens, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, historical bias, implicit bias, gender identity, and disparity. Recognizing of the challenges faced in addressing truth, bias, and the influence of media literacy raises questions for caring scholars to contemplate advancing of caring science.

This quality improvement project describes the initiation of a ceremony at the time of death in a community living center and an acute care setting in a Veterans Administration Health Care facility. The ceremony is a best practice for end-of-life care. Since initiating the ceremony, staff and veterans have expressed a sense of caring, dignity, closure, honor, and connection when performing the ceremony for the deceased. The culture around death has changed due to the ceremony, reflecting Jean Watson’s caring framework where healing can take place in any caring moment where there is an authentic human encounter.

As nurse educators navigate the realities of racial injustice and deeply polarizing issues in the United States, we must reflect on our own biases, educate ourselves on the impact of inequities, and thoughtfully use our faculty privilege to create change. Purposefully adjusting admissions procedures, hiring diverse faculty, and embedding cultural sensitivity in the curriculum are stepping stones to shaping the future of nursing. Impacting race relations by developing cultural humility and collegial allyship begins with humble inquiry. This article recounts a dialogue and presents the personal reflection of two peers committed to the critical work of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Lateral violence or bullying in nursing is the antithesis of caring and a profound, pervasive global concern. Survivors of lateral violence exhibit significant negative emotional and physical effects. Approximately one-third of new nurses leave the profession within the first 3 years of practice, citing lateral violence as a determining factor. This study explored the reasons new nurses decided to remain in the profession despite their experiences. Through one-on-one interviews (N = 9), the lived experiences were explored. Six themes emerged: the patients, needed the experience, I got counseling, there was an end, I cried, and nothing changed.

Homeless persons struggle to access healthcare services and obtain resources to meet basic needs. This study used mini-ethnography, case study, and survey to describe primary care needs of homeless persons in two Pennsylvania cities. Data were obtained using participant observation, field notes, surveys, and document analysis. Five homeless persons and four community volunteers were interviewed. Homeless persons had some options for obtaining primary care services. It was difficult to take prescribed medications and acquire preventive services. Their symptoms often went unattended. Dedicated community volunteers and community agencies assisted homeless persons to obtain basic needs and healthcare services.

This article is devoted to reflections on how to prevent pre-understanding from influencing the research process and jeopardizing the validity of a study. Influences from preunderstanding are exemplified from empirical lifeworld-led caring science research. Finally, there is a discussion of preunderstanding as a natural attitude and therefore also an important part of the lifeworld. It is concluded that validity requires a self-critical approach. It is suggested that a descriptive analysis, where the findings are fairly close to the data, involves a less problematic approach than research, which requires special attention to pre-understanding in connection with different levels of interpretation.

This article examines and exemplifies how existential philosophy can provide deeper understanding of existential issues in a caring context. Existential philosophy, including lifeworld theory, is treated both as an epistemology for the development of research methods and inspiration for analysis and discussions in caring science research. The significance of the lifeworld is also highlighted as a guide to perform and enable caring and caring didactics, along with short descriptions where existential philosophy has previously influenced the development of caring science. The concept existential caring science is suggested as a research area for research on existential and meaning-oriented phenomena.

American nursing leaders, responding to George Floyd’s and other Black peoples’ deaths and subsequent protests, have shared the need for a new analysis of racism in nursing. Professional nursing organizations have also responded. This essay was motivated by personal reflections on racism and antiracism and the need to increase knowledge of antiracism concepts. It aligns elements of Halldorsdottir’s theory of caring on nurse–patient relationships with Kendi’s antiracism concepts. The essay examines the main concepts of Haldorsdottir’s theory of caring, selects antiracism concepts presented by Kendi, and views antiracism through the lens of the caring theory. Caring actions are proposed.
