Humanistic nursing is the basic form of contemporary nursing, the implementation of biological, psychological and social medical model in nursing, and a brand-new nursing theory system and nursing practice system. Humanistic nursing is rooted in contemporary nursing practice in China, and it is the most basic feature and development trend of contemporary nursing development. The novelty of humanistic nursing concept lies in that it is the basic concept of contemporary nursing, the academic feature of contemporary nursing, the value pursuit of contemporary nursing workers, the clinical nursing practice of caring for patients, and the basic guarantee for implementing the construction of Healthy China in the nursing field. The newness of humanistic nursing theory lies in that its connotation is a generalization of the basic nature of contemporary nursing, and its extension includes contemporary nursing theory, nursing system, nursing personnel training, nursing management, clinical nursing and other fields.
ABSTRACT
Aligned with international standards, the UAE Government and many other developing countries in the region (GCC and MENA) have started to implement strict quality improvement initiatives to develop their healthcare systems. Most of these initiatives are geared toward meeting patient satisfaction and avoiding circumstances or events that would dissatisfy patients. It is also used to measure healthcare institution performance, assess efficiency and determine their funding and reimbursement. With this emphasis on quality, it is also important for healthcare organizations to fulfill their other functions. Among the most important is performing their teaching role to prepare future healthcare professionals, and attracting and retaining healthcare professionals. These roles are also a paramount for a quality, sustained healthcare system. However, clinical educators and managers reflect on how these roles seem to be frequently missed or at least compromised while applying the quality assurance measures in the region developing countries. This reflective paper discusses this concern and suggests possible strategies that may help overcome this challenge and thus contributing to the achievement of the quality goal of the service in a more comprehensive and sustainable manner. The similarities between the UAE healthcare system and neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council and the Middle East/North African countries mean these challenges and solutions may resonate with these countries and support the implementation of effective health services in these countries as well.

La Historia de la Enfermería Contemporánea en España está siendo replanteada por múltiples historiadores, que luchan contra las distorsiones que han desvirtuado la identidad enfermera en la historia. Teniendo como punto de partida la Escuela de Enfermeras de Santa Isabel de Hungría (1896), fundada por Rubio y Galí y tomando como referencia la Nightingale Training School (1860) fundada por Nightingale; el presente estudio muestra algunas de las evidencias sobre cómo la profesionalización de la Enfermería en España siguió el mismo proceso que la enfermería en otros países. Analizando la información histórica desde la perspectiva de género, se muestra como el origen ideológico de la Enfermería Profesional en España coincide con el modelo de enseñanza enfermero promulgado por Nightingale. Un sistema de formación que llegó a nuestro país, por medio del cirujano Rubio y Galí, pero enmarcado en un modelo paternalista y una visión social de la mujer anclada al ámbito maternal y doméstico.(AU)

The undergraduate nursing degree in the UK comprises both theoretical and practical elements with the practical component being a large and important aspect. Within the clinical environment students learn to become a nurse by gaining membership of a community of practice and learning the technicalities of nursing. As the future of health and social care looks set to see unprecedented changes, contemporary nursing practice will demand that nurse graduates are equipped with advanced knowledge and skills. By doing so, graduate nurses will go on to provide high quality care within this changing context. The aim of the research was to explore student nurse perceptions of knowledge development and consolidation in a clinical practice environment by utilising a community of practice theoretical framework to question whether the clinical community of practice prepares student nurses for contemporary nursing practice. Four themes emerged from the research: establishing a place in the community, shaping identity, initiating learning opportunities, preparation for future practice. The findings suggest that the clinical community of practice provides an opportunity for students to both learn the technicalities of nursing and develop their professional identity. However, whilst the learning environment may be functional in maintaining current practice, it may not facilitate the learning required for contemporary nursing practice.

Caring seems to be undervalued in the technologically-advanced and fast-paced clinical environment. To improve nursing practice, it is important to understand the meanings of caring to nurses. The aim of the present study was to explore nurses' perspectives of caring in the contemporary clinical environment. A focus group exploration was employed. Multiple perspectives were elicited from 80 nurses with different backgrounds: nursing students, nurse educators, registered nurses, advanced clinical nurses, and nurse executives. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Nurses' understanding of caring could be described using four Es: engaging in reciprocal relationships, embracing the essence of caring, engendering instances of caring, and embodying caring in practice. Participants described nurses as having the dual roles of caregiver and care recipient. The centrality of caring in nursing and the necessity of caring for caregivers were emphasized. The nurses also described various caring behaviors in daily practice. The present study revealed that nurses need empowerment to sustain their compassion. The findings provide new insights, which indicate that the revitalization of nurses' passion for caring in the contemporary clinical environment should begin with caring for caregivers.
