Abstract

Providing comfort is an integral aspect of nursing care and being comforted is a basic human need. This paper is concerned with the phenomenon of comfort in Norwegian public health nursing. Public health nurses in Norway do not provide curative care and their caring practice has been described as invisible. The aim of the paper is to explore the phenomenon of comfort in health promoting consultations involving public health nurses, parents, babies, children and young people. Levinasian philosophy mediates with the author when reflecting on these caring encounters. The interpretative process has shown that talking, touching, and listening provide comfort when the nurse shows professional presence and genuine concern.
