Join Dr. John Nelson as he presents research conducted by the Caring Science International Collaborative. This episode captures the recent conversation he had with his international colleagues in Canada, China, Columbia, Croatia, Israel, Jamaica, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey. John discusses the exciting and relevant international research and science behind the the Profile of Caring© instrument. In health care, there have been numerous studies on how the patient and the system impact outcomes, but rarely any research with scientific rigor that reveals how clinicians and staff impacts outcomes. It is important to conduct careful science to understand how constructs or concepts relate to one another. Understanding how concepts relate to one another helps us take action to improve the quality of care.
