In
situations where a
patient’s dignity has been
compromised (e.g., due
to illness or institutional
practices), the nurse has
a responsibility to restore
and uphold that dignity
through caritative caring
Restoring dignity
Eriksson emphasizes
that every person has inherent dignity, which
must be recognized and upheld in all caring
interactions. Dignity is not something that can
be granted or taken away; it is an intrinsic part
of being human.
Intrinsic Value of Dignity
The nurse’s role is to protect
and enhance the patient’s dignity through
compassionate care. This involves respecting
the patient’s autonomy, providing comfort, and
ensuring that they are treated with kindness
and respect at all times.

caring is the moral framework that

the principles of love, compassion, and
respect for the dignity of the patient. The
nurse acts as a moral agent, guided by an
inner ethos that prioritizes the well-being of
the patient above all else
