- Abstract
The caregiving process affects caregivers at bio-psycho-socio-cultural dimensions. Therefore, nursing care that will be carried out for caregivers should be planned and implemented in a way that cares for the whole of individuals. Watson's Theory of Human Caring that defines nursing care as a scientific, ethical, esthetic and professional process during which individuals have a physical, mental, spiritual and socio-cultural interaction is a holistic caring model that requires taking the person into cosideration not only physically but also socially, psychologically, culturally and spiritually. The purpose of this article is to provide a road map, create a new perspective about how to use Watson's Theory of Human Caring as a guide for caring for caregivers of individuals with dementia.
