When teaching staffs teach undergraduates at nursing schools about the skills of nursing, it would appear while conveying the practical methods is emphasized, the philosophical backgrounds is not. This tendency encourages superficial understandings of patients and hinders empathy for the existence of patients.To have the deeper insight into patients, Joyce Travelbee's theory can be useful. She says her own theory of nursing is based on Victor.E.Frankl's Logotherapy (Frankl's theory is existentialism essentially) and that the nurses have to transcend the role as nurses in nursing actions.However, it seems Travelbee does not deliberate her own theory so sufficiently from the viewpoint of Frankl's philosophy, I think. In this article, I attempt to reconsider the practice of nursing education in light of Travelbee's theory and Logotherapy. And I would like to seek the indispensability of "interpersonal relationship" and "meaning" in nursing education.
