...caring, scholarship , reflection and critical thinking in Nursing. The integral part of nursing health is basically related to caring but caring itself is not only limited to modern nursing science. It is a combined relationship between caring, scholarship , reflection and critical thinking because all these are needed to be a competent nurse. This journal will briefly discuss about the links between caring, scholarship , reflection and critical thinking. Traditionally, caring was the central aspect of nursing (Appleton; 1990, Koldjeski; 1990, McCance, Mckenna and Boore;1997, Watson1979). Leninger (1981) described caring as essential to growth and development and specified that it is defined by individual’s culture. But , the new definition of caring includes the offering of intellectual, psychological, spiritual, and physical aspects and these are a combined goal to facilitate and enhanced combined patients ability to do and decide for themselves (Husted and Husted 2001). Intellectual means, a nurse should be wise and competent enough in his profession with proper education, training and practicals, would be able to think critically and analyse. Psychological means able to understand feelings and emotions of clients. Spiritual means and able to understand client’s questions and giving answers to them. Physical aspect means being physically present to care. Nursing is a science which has strong relations with caring , scholarship, reflection and critical thinking...

...David was the King of Israel, chosen by God, through whose bloodline would come the eternal savior of the world according to the Scriptures. One would assume that David’s dash would have been long, filled with happiness, health, friends and people who wished him well. However, David sinned, as all humans do, which led to God’s discipline. He faced trials and tribulations. David’s health began to fail, his family had betrayed him, and his enemies wished him harm. He longed for peace in his remaining days. He had attained wealth but realized that earthly wealth is not eternal for individuals. He did not blame God for his problems, especially not in the presence of others. He realized that the only hope is in the Lord. He acknowledges God’s judgment and pleads for his mercy. David had an extraordinary “dash” and despite being one of the greatest kings in history, he realized the temporary value of earthly successes and the importance of focusing on the eternal omnipotence of...

Green Georgia Regents University Nursing Knowledge Resources Sigma Theta Tau International Sigma Theta Tau International (SSTI) was founded in 1922 by six nurses at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses which is now the Indiana University School of Nursing. The founders chose the name from the Greek words Storgé, Tharsos and Timé meaning "love," "courage" and "honor." STTI became incorporated in 1985 as Sigma Theta Tau International Inc., a nonprofit organization with a 501(c) (3) tax status in the United States.

...I found myself holding back my initial responses to the patient statements and carefully choosing my replies. Strengths in my motivational interviewing skills include asking for permission to discuss the topic, asking primarily open ended questions, and using reflection to encourage the patient to elaborate on her statements. These techniques are basic skills in the motivational interviewing process and reflect the spirit of motivational interviewing as described by its founders (Miller & Rollnick, 2013). Improvements to my motivational interviewing technique may be made by including summary statements, focusing the conversation, and improving my ability to evoke. A summary statement toward the end of the conversation would have been a useful transition to the planning stages of change and a therapeutic way to reflect listening as well as the patient’s own change talk (Miller & Rollnick, 2013). I feel that we had an agreed focus for the topic, but I felt the conversation drifted at times. My ability to...

...“Still I Rise” An Inspiring Poem by Maya Angelou “Still I Rise”, a poem written by Maya Angleou in 1978, is a poem that demonstrates an inner strength of determination in accomplishing and overcoming obstacles in life. “Still I Rise”, and other poems created by Maya Angelou, may offer inspiring words of encouragement for many individuals who may be dealing with certain difficult situations in their life. Maya Angelou was born in 1928 in St. Louis Missouri. At a very young age she experienced a very traumatic experience that inspired her to become the person that she is today. During the time that her parents decided to end their marriage, she went to reside with her mother. While residing with her mother, she was sexually assaulted and raped by her mother’s boyfriend. Maya Angelou was scared, hurt, and humiliated. Not knowing where else to turn, she informed her brother of the incident. Upon hearing this, he decided it was best to inform their family. Her mother’s boyfriend was sent to jail; however, he was killed shortly after his release. When Maya Angelou found out about the death of her mother’s boyfriend, she became withdrawn and stopped speaking or talking for several years. She began to blame herself for what had happened to her mother’s boyfriend, because she felt that due to her telling what happened resulted in his death. As time passed, Maya Angelou went to reside with her grandmother. She was embraced by a close family friend who encouraged her to talk...

...The organization that I have chosen from the choices that I have been given above is an educational institution. My main reason for choosing an educational institution is because, normally there is much cultural interaction that takes place in this kind of institution as far as the subject is concerned. An educational institution provides us with much cultural diversity as compared to other institutions or organizations like, companies, charitable organizations and even other government bodies among others. Every organization may have a culture, what varies is what type of culture the organization in question has (Davidson & Goldberg 2009). The culture may either be good or bad depending also on the organizational objectives and aim. The educational institution in context can be described to be having more of a good culture to happy staffs or employees. The culture depicted by the organization enables it to achieve its mission and visions. Its culture goes along with a number of criteria which it has adopted in order to achieve its aim. These criteria includes, being strategically relevant as the first point. It also is very strong so as to give the employees and the employers the culture to have the morale that is going to spearhead better performance. Other than the already mentioned, the organization in question in respect to its culture also has got an intrinsic ability that enables to adapt to the various changing circumstances. It should be considered that culture...

...Watson’s Theory of Caring James Farrell University of Phoenix Health & Chronic Disease Management NUR/403 Judith McLeod September 9, 2012 Jean Watson Theory of Caring The purpose of this paper is to explore Jean Watson’s Theory of Transpersonal Human Caring, and the major concepts of Watson’s theory, including the caring moment, the carative factors, and the transpersonal caring theory itself. Then the theory will be applied to an actual nurse to patient interaction. The paper will illustrate the caring moment between the patient and nurse. Watson’s major assumptions will be further discussed in relation to person, health, environment, and nursing. The carative factors will be utilized in a transpersonal relationship with the application of five carative factors. In conclusion the paper will include a reflection of my experience within the carative moment, my learning process, and what I could have done differently to enhance the transpersonal relationship. Background of Watson’s theory Jean Watson was born in West Virginia United States and obtained her first degree of BSN in 1964 from the University of Colorado, Masters in 1966 and PhD in 1973 from the same university.

...Methods Design and setting We performed a longitudinal retrospective patient record review study in 21 randomly sampled hospitals in 2004, and 20 in 2008 out of the total of 93 Dutch hospitals. Eight hospitals were studied in both years. Both samples were stratified for hospital type, university, tertiary teaching and general hospitals, and a proper representation of both urban and rural settings in the samples were verified. Tertiary teaching hospitals in The Netherlands provide specialised care and train doctors. The level of care given is between that given in a university hospital and in a general hospital. Generally speaking, university hospitals and, to some extent, tertiary teaching hospitals tend to treat more complex patients with more complex care. To be eligible, hospitals had to have at least 200 beds and an intensive care unit. In each hospital, 400 patient admissions were randomly selected in 2004, and 200 in 2008. Fifty percent of the records were of patients who were discharged from the hospital after a stay of at least 24 h. The other 50% were of patients who died in hospital. These patients were sampled from all inpatient deaths, regardless of their length of stay. We did not exclude patients admitted with an explicitly palliative care plan; this information was noted down and taken into account during the review process. During analysis, overall AE rates were corrected for the oversampling of deceased patients, because in our sample, 50% of the patients were...

Many corporations adopt and follow the novel term, along with the public increasing public concern of social and environmental performances.
