Abstract

A model of supportive care developed in prior research, combined with ethical theory, is used as a framework for analyzing some of the current problems facing the nursing profession. The authors argue that a central cause of nursing disillusion is dissonance between personal values rooted in an ethic of caring and a health care system that rewards technological competence above human values.
