Theoretical Framework
Brief Description (with illustration)
The nurse is a bodily caregiver.
Care, core, cure theory explanation
Provision of bodily care allows the nurse to comfort and learn the patient’s pathologic condition, treatment aspect, and person. Understanding, resulting from the integration of all three areas, allows the nurse to be an effective teacher and nurturer.
The patient learns and is nurtured in the person (i.e., in the core aspect). Nurturance leads to effective rehabilitation, greater levels of self-actualization, and self-love.
