The Evolution of Caring Science throughout the Transdisciplinary TeamKaiser Permanente
Caring Science is a framework for healthcare disciplines to focus on the patients needs through the continuum of care. Communication, teamwork, & colloboration are essential strategies for a seamless experience for our patients.
For exceptional care in any setting, care of self, care of our patients and families, and care of the team are necessary ingredients.This outpatient example explains the steps.
Use of the Watson Caritas Patient Scoring tool to assess patient perspective on compassionate care, respect for personal beliefs, and caring-healing environment.
Focus on how small actions have a large impact on patient care. For example: helping to facilitate sleep hours with use of lowering the lights, quiet voices at night and warm blankets to tuck in.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Comfort as Medicine: Integration of CAM into Bedside Care
Caritas in Action
How Caring Science informs and inspires KP caregivers and affirms our commitment to provide our
patients and their families exceptional care
2. Comfort as Medicine: Integration of CAM into Bedside Care
Intent to Contribute Statement:
Abstract: Numerous studies validate the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for a variety of health issues
and symptoms. Complementary therapies offer nurses the opportunity to provide holistic care and empower patients to
actively participate in their care and recovery (Fountouki & Theofanidis, 2009). Holistic care seeks to treat the whole individual
as opposed to treating symptoms exclusively and recognizes the role of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. The
White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy (2002) recognized the need for increased
education and training of health practitioners in CAM. The California BRN identifies that nurses can help provide the missing
link between conventional Western medicine and CAM therapies (BRN, 2009). The integration of CAM into bedside care is
also consistent with Watson’s theory of Caring Science. Watson uses the term carative instead of curative to distinguish
between nursing and medicine. Watson’s theory focuses on 10 caritas factors that contribute to caring, healing relationships
and can be characterized by caring moments or caring occasions. A caring occasion occurs whenever the nurse and another
come together with their unique life histories and phenomenal fields in a human-to-human transaction. Our project seeks to
enhance nurse patient relationships, enable holistic, individualized by providing nurses resources and education to incorporate
simple CAM modalities and caring behaviors into their everyday practice.
Research Question: Will nursing education, and readily available resources increase patient perception of a healing
environment and caring behaviors consistent with Watson’s Theory of Caring Science?

Methodology: Inservice education on elements with the ‘caring cart’ will be provided to staff
nurses in 2 nursing units, medical neurology Unit 430 and general surgery Unit 235 of Kaiser Santa
Clara Medical center. The carts will be provided for nursing use after the educational inservices.
Elements within the Caring Cart:
• TV channel guides: distraction, music therapy (care channel)
• Movie list: distraction, humor
• Aromatherapy: CAM (lavender, peppermint)
• Herbal Teas: CAM (mint, lemon, ginger, etc.)
• Guided Imagery Channel Guide & Brochure: CAM
• Lip Balm: comfort
• Playing Cards: distraction
• Insomnia Management: ear plugs, white noise machine, sleepy time tea
• Mind/Body Medicine KP patient resources handout: podcast, downloads info sheet for
depression, anxiety, pain, insomnia etc.

4. Comfort as Medicine: Integration of CAM into Bedside Care
… Continued
Data Collection: The measures used to determine efficacy will be the Caring Factors Survey, this
reliable and validated tool measures caring behaviors based on Watson’s 10 Caritas Processes
(DiNaploi, Nelson, Turkel, & Watson, 2010). In addition specific HCAHPS and AVATAR data that also
measure patients’ perception of caring behaviors and comfort measures provided by nursing staff
will also be evaluated. All of these data points will be evaluated pre and post education and
implementation of the ‘caring cart’. We hope that these measures will support a healing
environment, further our integration of Caring Science into practice, and improve patient
satisfaction with caring behaviors and ultimately contribute to our organizational goals of providing
world-class care every patient, every time.

What Lavender Is Used For
What the Science Says
• Historically, lavender was used as
an antiseptic and for mental
health purposes.
• There is little scientific evidence
of lavender's effectiveness for
most health uses.
• Today, the herb is used for
conditions such as anxiety,
restlessness, insomnia, and
depression.
• Small studies on lavender for
anxiety show mixed results.
• Lavender is also used for
headache, upset stomach, and
hair loss.
Page 19
• Some preliminary results indicate
that lavender oil, combined with
oils from other herbs, may help
with hair loss from a condition
called alopecia areata.
20. Peppermint
What Peppermint Is Used For
What the Science Says
• Peppermint oil has been used for
a variety of health conditions,
including nausea, indigestion, and
cold symptoms.
