Hearing this, there was a moment of silence and some
participants were nodding. Then they proceeded to deep
discuss this topic, and agreed that it was often uncaring
experiences instead of caring experiences that impressed
them most and facilitated their understanding and articulation
of caring. It was also uncaring experiences that
invoked their thinking and generated the most learning,
but they also pointed that too many uncaring incidents
might make them in a state of apathy, even cause moral
distress, which would hinder their learning about caring.
At this moment, dialogue with competent mentors/supervisors
would help them analyze and reflect upon
these negative experiences, which might provide support
and guidance for them.
