ANSWER
Slide 1: Introduction
Speaker notes:
My name is [your name] and I am a student in the [APN program name] program at [university name]. I am passionate about providing compassionate and holistic care to my patients, and I believe that Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring provides a valuable framework for doing so.
In my future role as an APN, I plan to use the principles of Watson’s theory to create a caring environment for my patients and their families. I will strive to understand their unique needs and experiences, and I will partner with them to develop individualized care plans. I will also focus on promoting their health and well-being, and I will support their self-healing abilities.
Slide 2: Previous experience with Watson’s Theory of Human Caring
Speaker notes:
I was first introduced to Watson’s Theory of Human Caring during my undergraduate nursing education. I was immediately drawn to the theory’s emphasis on the importance of caring in nursing. I have continued to learn about the theory throughout my nursing career, and I have found it to be a valuable guide for my practice.
In my previous roles as a registered nurse, I have used Watson’s theory to inform my care of patients with a variety of conditions. I have found that by focusing on the caring relationship, I am able to build trust and rapport with my patients, which can lead to better outcomes.
Slide 3: Core Concepts of the Theory Applicable to the APN role
Speaker notes:
Watson’s Theory of Human Caring is based on a number of core concepts, including:
Human caring: Watson defines human caring as a transpersonal relationship between the nurse and the patient. It is a process of mutual engagement that promotes growth and development in both the nurse and the patient.
Transpersonal caring: Watson believes that caring is not just about providing physical care. It is also about connecting with patients on a spiritual and emotional level.
Caritas processes: Watson identifies five caritas processes, or ways of expressing caring:
Presencing: Being fully present with the patient and listening to their story.
Appreciating: Recognizing and valuing the patient’s unique individuality and worth.
Caring-knowing: Using one’s knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care for the patient.
Helping-trusting: Empowering the patient to participate in their own care and to make informed decisions about their health.
Acceptance: Accepting the patient for who they are, without judgment.
These core concepts and caritas processes are all applicable to the APN role. By using these principles, APNs can provide their patients with compassionate and holistic care.

Slide 5: Five Carative Factors or Caritas Processes You Plan to Use in the APN Role
Speaker notes:
The five caritas processes that I plan to use in my future APN role are:
Presencing: I will take the time to get to know my patients and their stories. I will listen to them with empathy and understanding.
Appreciating: I will recognize and value the unique individuality and worth of each patient. I will treat them with respect and compassion.
Caring-knowing: I will use my knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care for my patients. I will stay up-to-date on the latest research and evidence-based practices.
Helping-trusting: I will empower my patients to participate in their own care and to make informed decisions about their health. I will provide them with the information and support they need to make their own choices.
Acceptance: I will accept my patients for who they are, without judgment. I will create a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable sharing their stories and concerns.
