Abstract
Abstract An interprofessional massive open online course in caring science and mindfulness was offered in summer 2015, emphasizing caring experiences through reflection and group discussions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate caring intentions of course participants upon course completion. Three researchers reviewed data from final discussion postings and reached consensus regarding themes and subthemes using an inductive qualitative analysis approach. Five primary themes were derived: the ripple effect from caring, self-care is imperative, validation of caring/mindfulness, infusing caring science into relationships, and course-concept application. Course participants discussed the transformative caring process through past experiences, course collegiality, and future goals.
