Sammanfattning
Care relation is an essential concept
in nursing and caring science,
although, the use of it is not
clear and distinct. Sometimes the
care relation is defined in positive
terms as being the foundation of
caring and the core of good
health care. At other times it is
claimed that this essentially positive
relation leads to un-caring
and make patients suffer from
care. At yet other times and in
other contexts the concept is used
in a neutral way, simply characterising
a certain relation between
a patient and a professional
carer. It is important to emphasize
the significance of the care
relation to professional carer, as
well as to medical care organizer.
To be able to do that it is necessary
that the care relation concept
is clear and distinct. The following
definition of the concept is
proposed: a care relation is a
relation between a human being
in capacity of patient and a
human being in capacity of professional
carer, in some kind of
professional care organization.
The concept can then be combined
with relevant attributes, such
as good or bad care relation,
caring or un-caring care relation,
or it can remain neutral.
