Nursing is placed within a humanistic framework in Paterson and Zderad''s theory, which defines nursing as a nurturing response aimed at well-being. Three constructs of nursing, which describe the why and how of nursing practice, are identified: `comfort'', `clinical'' and `all-at-once''.
In this volume, O''Connor explores the origin of the theory and its underlying assumptions. She also examines the major concepts of the metaparadigm of nursing, including the nursing process.
