Care, Core &
Cure
Lydia
Eloise Hall
1906 - 1969
|
The "Care, Core, and Cure"
Theory was developed in the late 1960's. She
postulated that individuals could be conceptualized in
three separate domains: care (hands on bodily care),
core (using the self in relationship to the patient),
and cure (applying medical knowledge).
Hall believed patients
should receive care ONLY from professional nurses.
Nursing involves interacting with a patient in a
complex process of teaching and learning. Hall was not
pleased with the concept of team nursing--she said
that "any career that is defined around the work that
has to be done, and how it is divided to get it done,
is a "trade" (rather than a profession).
Nursing functions in all three of the circles (core,
care, and cure) but shares them to different degrees
with other disciplines. For example, the nurse's
function in the cure circle is limited to helping
patients/families deal with the measures instituted by
the physician. She felt that the care circle was
exclusive to nursing. The core circle was shared with
social workers, psychologists, clergy, etc.

On the Humanities in Nursing, by Myra E. Levine, in
Canadian Journal of Nursing.
Nursing is a humanitarian enterprise. The emphasis
placed on scientific and technical knowledge is
indispensable to the development of the craft - but
it is imperfectly achieved without the intellectual
skills that are the special province of the
humanities.
