Abstract

This is a thought-provoking study approaching inclusive nursing care rendered to individuals suffering from Down's syndrome in light of some assumptions made in Paterson and Zderad's theory. Its aim is to uncover Paterson and Zderad's humanistic theory, by emphasizing some of its assumptions as applied to individuals suffering from Down's syndrome, and by outlining the participation of nurses in inclusive care of such cases, through a conscious practice related to the humanistic theory. By providing individuals suffering from Down's syndrome with health care based on the humanistic theory referential, it is possible to reckon each human being as a unique existent being, therefore understanding his/her meaning.
