Even though the theories of caring and health have been developed largely along separate tracts of nursing theory, there is considerable overlap between them. Each is embedded in the explanation and application of the other. This paper illustrates some of the connections between caring and health. Moreover, one’s definition of health makes a difference in the intent of nursing practice. The meaning of health as expanding consciousness is elaborated on as a research-practice process. Within this context, Jean Watson’s views of consciousness are compared with those of the author.

Intentionality has been a poorly defined term associated with healing and caring. Exploring a conceptualization from within the unitary-transformative theories of Martha Rogers and Margaret Newman enriches one’s perspective and yields implications for practice and research.
