摘要
Older people are at risk of losing their sense of dignity as a result of dependency corresponding to disability and frequent hospitalizations. Dignity-promoting care is a central aspect of nursing and essential for enabling people to thrive after the hospital period. Nurses and dependent older adults can cocreate the environments in which dignity is valued and well-being is enhanced. The purpose of this article is to present a model of dignity-enhancing caring for older adults using the theory of nursing as caring.
