Focus is on the interaction between the health care provider, patient and next of kin in different contexts and environments throughout the care chain.
Nursing care affects all people in some way throughout their lives. Nursing care is about attitude and action. Nursing care exists in the action itself and in the relationship of the human encounter. Nursing care can be described as a living human action. There is a need for it when an individual needs help with a situation and other fellow human beings provide that help. It is very important that health care providers view the individual from a holistic perspective and consider the whole situation, instead of focusing on only poor health or medical conditions.
Nursing care actions span a wide spectrum, ranging from highly technological interventions to support in existential crises. This means that individuals should be ensured good and secure care based on their needs and the current situation. There should also be knowledge and practical skills to perform these nursing care actions.
