点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Philosophy of Caring should be a foundation or a universal starting point of ethics of supporting others including nursing ethics. It also describes the significance of caring for fellow human beings from a philosophical perspective, and suggests why caring is so appealing for us and why it can be unethical to not care for others. When discussing ethics of supporting others, including nursing ethics, it must be important to consider the following three points: 1) The ethical and philosophical theory of significance of supporting and caring for others; 2) The collection of evidence from clinical practice in support of this theory; 3) The development of rules and principles for application in routine practice; and discussion on the usage of those rules and principles.
