Omsorgens innhold og mangfold - Fenomenet omsorg sett fra et flerfaglig perspektiv
Sammanfattning
This article explores the phenomenon of care as seen from the following disciplinary
perspectives: diaconia, attachment theory, nursing and quality of life research. The purpose is to
elaborate and clarify this phenomenon with particular regard to the increasing need for
interdisciplinary cooperation in various fields. We have used descriptions of care respectively as a
human condition, a moral imperative/ideal, an interpersonal relationship and a therapeutic
intervention for clarifying the convergence and differences between the perspectives. Through
literature studies and a reflective approach to the material, we have come to the conclusion that there
exists numerous and sometimes surprising similarities between the perspectives.
