Abstract
This article examines Professional Human Caring in Nursing within the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI). As AI becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare, it necessitates a philosophical, moral, ethical, and transpersonal spiritual foundation to safeguard nursing's core disciplinary values. Watson's Unitary Caring Science and Theory of Transpersonal Human Caring offer a guiding framework for sustaining Professional Human Caring in the face of advancing AI technologies. Furthermore, Watson's 10 Caritas Processes® serve as a timeless philosophical and theoretical anchor, ensuring that human caring remains central to nursing. This article explores key AI-related questions and strategies through a disciplinary philosophical lens, reinforcing that AI in nursing should enhance rather than diminish the essence of Professional Human Caring.
期刊介绍:
Consistently ranked as one of the most-read and most assigned journals by faculties of graduate programs in nursing, Advances in Nursing Science (ANS) is intellectually challenging, innovative and progressive, and features articles from a wide range of scholarly traditions. The journal particularly encourages works that speak to the need for global sustainability and that take an intersectional approach, recognizing class, color, sexual and gender identity, and other dimensions of human experience related to health. Articles in ANS are peer-reviewed and chosen for their pioneering perspectives and for their significance in contributing the evolution of the discipline of nursing.
