title: [The place of caring in the nurse's diagnosis in patient education].
abstract: This report relates to the research on the benefits and the use of the caring in the nurse's diagnosis practice in patient education. The theoretical framework is built thanks to Joan Tronto's work on caring. Caring consists of taking care of other people's concerns and needs. This raises the issue of knowing how nurses deal with caring during the educational diagnosis. The qualitative research conducts through four nurses, receiving patients in an educational program in a diabetes department of a Paris based hospital. The analysis of the semi-structured and explicative interviews shows how nurses care about and take care of patient in thoughts and in their nursing practice. In the educational program, they set up a particular plan to interview the patient at his arrival. This plan, similar to a spatio-temporal ritual, tends to foster the clinical interview and the emotional assessment due to the impact of the chronic condition on the patient's live. This enables to make an appropriate educational's diagnosis.
