Abstract [en]

The Art of Caring model is developed from a general structure of the flow in the encounter between the injured patients andthe different professionals within emergency care, in turn founded on four phenomenological essences, which encompass theexperiences of patients, next of kin, and various professionals during the encounter at the scene of an accident and at theemergency department. The Art of Caring model represents a philosophical and theoretical rethinking of an ethical approach. Itdraws upon the works of the Danish philosopher Løgstrup, the French philosopher Levinas as well as selected aspects ofMerleau Ponty. The Art of Caring model is illustrated by coppersmith and artist Michaela Ivarsdotter, further developed andreflected upon with Anna Bratt, a psychologist working according to the compassion‐focused tradition. The model is made todisclose and visualise the Art of Caring and facilitate reflections on achieving a win‐win situation for both patients and differentprofessionals within emergency care. Healthcare involves a variety of professions, and for the benefit of the patient, we mustrecognise the significance of professionals taking on the advocacy role from a caring science perspective, which includes theunique and shared experiences of the lifeworld. This is a challenge within the context of demanding efficiency and timepressure in emergency care. To address this, a concrete action plan for ethical reflections is needed to find a balance betweengiving and receiving, essential for healthcare professionals to avoid compassion fatigue. In the context of ethical competenceand the challenges faced by different healthcare professionals within emergency care, the Art of Caring model could be used forethical reflections, as an approach to achieve a balance between patient advocacy, ethical considerations, and effective emergencycare delivery. Achieving this goal will lead to better patient outcomes and a more supportive work environment for theentire emergency care team.1
