What Is Caring

Caring is being emotionally invested in someone or something.
You can provide adequate care with out actually caring.
The qualifications of good vs bad depends about what you're taking care of.
Kids?
Pets?
House plants?
Property?

I am not sure what you are going for because you can have someone in your care without actually caring for them.

1. The opposite of apathy

2. Actions that do good or potential good

3. Actions that do harm or potential harm

As it relates to raising children?

Caring would be showing concern for the overall outcome, and taking the actions that contribute to the best possible outcome.

Good care is often doing what is harder, but in the best interest. Teaching a child about safety, and how to use good judgement, and allowing the child to take acceptable risks allows a child to develop skills they will need to live their life. Good care would be to teach a child to eat healthy, and to eat treats in moderation. Good care is to teach a baby to sleep. With good care we don't raise a child, we raise a future adult.

Bad care is often doing what is easiest. It is easier to helicopter parent or bubble-wrap kids to keep them safe. We don't need to teach hard lessons or worry. Unfortunately the child does not benefit, only the parent. Bad care would be to let your child eat whtever he/she wants because that makes them happy, or to not allow a child to have any treats at all, and avoid having to teach about moderation. The child who eats nothing but junk will suffer poor health, the child who never has treats will be miserable, and likely over-indulge the first chance they get. Bad care would be to rock your child to sleep, never teaching them the skills to sleep on their own. We do these things because we care, but they aren't in the best interest of the child. With bad care we can raise a happy, healthy child, but we do not prepare that child to be an adult.

It is sort of like the proverb "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Good care would be to teach a man to fish, bad care would be to give a man a fish (unless you plan to give the man fish for the rest of his life).

I agree w/PPs - what type of "caring" are you referring to? Emotional or physical?

1) Realizing how others feel and empathizing, sympathizing, or feeling strongly on their behalf-sometimes taking action to do something for them.

2) maintenance done well and thoroughly with sense of purpose and generosity

3) thoughtless, shoddy and incomplete.

Okay here are my answers.
1. Caring is concern, considertion and the well being of my fellow man/woman, neighbbors and co-workers. Doing things for them when they least expect it. Sometimes just being there so they are not alone.
2. Providing comfort to the ill. Knowing when to call to check on friends, family and associates. Many of time an email goes out "Welfare Check" and it is just my way of keeping tabs and making sure they are all right.
3. Having the time, funds and ability to help and not doing anything to ease the pain or agony of my fellow man. You know that your neighbor is in dire straits due to financial issues (things that have happened through no fault of their own) and you can give them a helping hand and don't.
4. I have a do unto others and you would have them do unto you. This can come back to bite you in the butt so to speak in many different ways.

I just want to make sure my fellow man/woman near me knows that if they need a cup of sugar I have the cup and will give it willingly with no strings attached.

The other S.

caring [kār´ing]
an interpersonal process involving an emotional commitment to, and a willingness to act on behalf of, a person with whom one has a significant relationship. See also care. Caring is moral reflection but does not necessarily have a central moral principle. The bioethics of caring may focus on relationship, responsibility, trust, fidelity, and sensitivity. Emphasis is on not only what the health care provider does but also on how the actions are performed, what motives underlie them, and whether they promote or thwart positive relationships.

With your BSN in mind:
1. Caring - Listening to the concerns of the patient and family and addressing those concerns, as opposed to passing them off to someone else, or acting as if those concerns are unimportant.
2. Good care - having an understanding of pallative care when it is needed, especially for terminal conditions. Explanations that are clear and complete. Talking about medication with the family so that fewer mistakes are made, both on the side of the hospital and the family. (For example, my grandmother was being given a stool softener, although she was having the runs very badly. If I had not ASKED what the pill was that the nurse was trying to give her, the runs would have just continued or worsened. Because I caught the mistake, no more stool softeners. This of course, is an example of bad care.)

3. See above for the example of bad care. More bad care - Unkindness on the part of hospital staff. (I watched a man dying of cancer lift his hand while the nurse was tending to him, and she slapped his hand and told him to be still. That made me cry - what an awful woman she was!) Gorking patients out for the convenience of the hospital staff. Ignoring patients.

Good luck on your project.

Caring-to feel concern about. In my opinion, caring is that feeling you get when a friend is hurt or when a family member is sick and you get the urge to care for them. It's also the feeling you get when you want to help someone and be there for someone. That's caring.
