Tags: Biography, Joyce, Nurse, travelbee
Joyce Travelbee born in 1926 and left this mortal world in 1973. She was ahead of her time. Travelbee's experiences in initial psych nursing practice at a Catholic charity hospital led her to believe that the care given in these type of institutions lacked compassion. She felt nursing needed a "humanistic revolution" and a renewed focus on caring as central to nursing--she warned that if this didn't happen, consumers might seek a "new and different kind of health care worker." Travelbee's ideas have greatly influenced the hospice movement. Travelbee died tragically young at age 47 while beginning doctoral study.
