Mastery over stress

Suffering is a
particularly human experience that often brings with
it loneliness or alienation from others. This theory
explains the mechanisms through which suffering
affects an individual's sense of community and
connectedness with others. The intricate patterns to
provide a basis for prescriptive nursing to prevent or
reverse this loss of connectedness. The concept of
suffering and its influences on relationship with the
self and with others and the relationship of others
with the sufferer. The concept of alienation is
developed in this context, its philosophical roots
explored, and a continuum described that encompasses
alienation through connectedness. Related concepts of
separation, shame, and stigma are described as partial
cases of alienation of the sufferer that also show the
pervasiveness of the phenomenon. The personal
characteristics of an individual who might help are
developed through the concept of wisdom. An
explanation is given as to why care is the contextual
framework through which alienation is reversed and
connectedness achieved. Although suffering,
alienation, and care have gone by many names, the
essences of these phenomena have been recurrent theme
in descriptions of human response.
