護理美學概論

Introduction to Nursing Aesthetics

經驗（empiric）、美學（aesthetic）、倫理（ethical）、個人的（personal）知能（knowing）是臨床護理人的四項基礎。在護理知識領域中，應極力的倡導四項知能並重，但實際上護理美學卻較少被護理文獻提及。本篇文章針對護理美學本質之定義、護理美學的反思與相關聯結做一探討。護理技術美是美的本質的直接展現，其技術愈純熟，就愈能解決目的性與規律性的對峙，而達到自由的形式，達到美的境界。護理技術美並非只是徒具形式罷了，護理科學的種種技術是為人服務的，且它們之所以造成影響成效，又是因為它們具有符合規律性的護理技術美。我們可以從中看到了真的豐富內涵、善的形式力量和美的愉悅感受，讓人感到這三者的和諧統一，而這就是護理美學的本質。臨床實務上護理美的形式可以以多元形式呈現，並從這些多元呈現形式中獲得創造護理重大的存在意義並提昇健康照護上的專業形象。在這篇文章裡提出的概念可以運用在臨床護理的監督、實踐以及在護理教育的過程中。

Empirical, aesthetic, ethical, and personal knowing are the four fundamental patterns of knowledge inquiry. Of these, the aesthetic knowing pattern is least discussed in nursing literature. This article discusses the definition of nursing aesthetics; its utilization in practice; and correlations between aesthetics and clinical practice. One of the advantages inherent to nursing is its ability to deliver skillful care directly to patients. Skillful performance is essential to reduce discrepancies between goals and patterns. Aesthetic nursing addresses more than the form of nursing. It further addresses the crucial elements of nursing knowledge. The science of nursing is influential in its ability to attain harmony among abundant empiric content, power of beneficence, and pleasure of aesthetic experience. In clinical practice, nurses can employ aesthetic nursing through various channels to create meaning and promote the professional image of nurses. Concepts listed in this article may be utilized in clinical supervision, practice and education.
