Abstract

Watson’s theory defends care as a human science developed from philosophical and humanistic value systems. This perspective is based on an ontological relationship by being tied to a vision of world of unity. Thus the aim of this study is to describe Jean Watson’s Transpersonal Caring Theory based on the Meleis’ Model of Theories’ Evaluation step of description. The methodology used was the interpretive analysis describing the specific model in the structural components of the theory. We conclude that transpersonal care has fundamental value for professional enrichment and enhances the patient’s recovery, as it focuses on comprehensive care, using technological procedures and consideration of their socio-cultural and spiritual needs.
