A Moral Framework for Caring in Nursing: Neo-Stoic Eudaemonism

The traditional moral and ethical models utilized by the nursing profession are examined through a critical social theory lens to identify limitations or inappropriateness for application within the nurse-patient caring relationship. Classical ethical theories continue to have merit in the delivery of professional nursing, but within the context of practice, are system imposed. Neo-Stoic Eudaemonism, arising from an individual’s interiority, stimulates awareness of the nurse as an equal human in the relationship. This theory offers universality that is a-contextual. It can differentiate moral and ethical components of nursing practice and offers insight into nurses’ moral distress.
