Theory development as one of the highest forms of knowledge development that provides opportunity among health providers to identify new and modern approaches of understanding human transformation. This theory uprooted from the mere encounter between the nurse and the one nursed in the phenomenal field called “nursing situations.” The context clearly defines the major components of nursing as the person, environment, and health and how they interact to generate meanings, ideals, and intentions in nursing. The recognition of empathy as a critical essential of caring is highlighted in the theory. The expression of transactional caring and empathy as unending expression of caring in nursing becomes the pillar in the nurse-patient human encounters.
