Excerpt from the Book
UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD
In the seminal work of Rogers (1956) this concept first appeared and rapidly gained momentum as a set of values that would later help to form the bedrock of modern nursing philosophy.
It is a simple notion; the view that all patients should be treated in a non-discriminatory and fair manner, irrespective of their background, personality or other individual traits. The quality of care should not be adversely affected by the way a patient behaves or presents, even if their conduct presents challenges; the successful application of this notion to the delivery of care will reduce the likelihood of unfair or poor quality care.
