Abstract
Caring is an inadequate concept for nursing practice. Rather, if comfort is used as the central paradigm for nursing, the focus of nursing research changes from the nurse to the patient. The components, limitations and relevance of comfort are discussed in this article. Preliminary results of a study exploring the usefulness of comfort in emergency rooms identified eight types of comforting. The characteristics of each type are described.Entities:
