Abstract

This three-round Delphi study generated an international standard of care for caring for potential use by nurses and other health care providers in health care agencies and communities. The caring elements, based on related literature, were surveyed from members of the International Association for Human Caring (IAHC) and attendees of the IAHC meeting held in Boca Raton, Florida (USA), in 2000. The standard was constructed from questionnaire responses and provides a starting point for developing a practice model and subject matter for debate among clinicians, educators, and researchers from diverse cultures.and quantitative analysis indicated that student caring behavior significantly improved.
