Concept of Nursing Care - Contributing to Societal Needs: A Therapeutic, Curative, Educative, Preventative and Rehabilitative Role in Healthcare and its Limitations
Journal Title: Journal of Nurse Midwifery and Maternal Health - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Nursing has come a long way since the days of Florence Nightingale and even though no consensus exists it would seem reasonable to assume that caring still remains the inner core, the essence of nursing. In the light of the societal, contextual and political changes that have taken place during the 21st century, it is important to explore whether these might have influenced the essence of nursing.
