KATIE ERIKSSON

THEORY OF CARITATIVE CARING

FREDELYN G. BICLAR RN,MN THEORETICAL FOUNDATION IN NURSING


◦ “Caritative caring means that we take “caritas” into use
when caring for the human being in health and
suffering . . . Caritative caring is a manifestation of the
love that ‘just exists’ . . . Caring communion, true caring,
occurs when the one caring in a spirit of caritas
alleviates the suffering of the patient” (Eriksson, 1992c,
pp. 204, 207).
