Description
The purpose of this study was to identify nursing values from lived experiences of six nurses during interactions with patients. Nurses employed by nursing agencies were asked: "describe an interaction you have experienced with a patient that best represents your nursing values". Giorgi's method of interpretation for phenomenological studies was used to analyze the stories. From each participant's specific values a general description of the structure of all participants' values was generated. Caring was the predominant value that emerged and encompasses nursing practice and the compassionate action it teaches. Concepts emerging from the study are living and learning of values, unpretentious presence, and caring as the ascendent value in nursing practice. Recommendations for future study include exploration of these concepts toward development of a value based nursing practice to increase job satisfaction and self-esteem for nurses recognizing their values.
