...Nursing Theory Grid Nurse4682 NUR/403 February 12, 2012 Athena Brummett Theorist Selected: Ida Jean Orlando Description of Theory: Ida Orlando developed the theory of deliberative nursing process. The focus of this theory is on the patient determining their needs and how to meet their needs. She wrote about the interaction between the nurse and the patient's perception validation, and the use of the nursing process to produce positive outcomes. She wanted to define the function of nursing. She described nursing as unique and independent and the focus was on the patients need for help. This expressed need for help lead to a reaction in the nurse (Butts & Rich, 2010). Ida Orlando believed that her theory could be applied to patients with surgical, medical, obstetric, as well as psychiatric conditions and can be applied to both children and adults who are treated either at home, in the hospital, or clinic setting (Alligood, 2010). Theory's Historical background: Ida Orlando was born in the year of 1926. She earned her nursing degree in 1947 from a school of nursing at a hospital in New York. She went on to earn her B.S. in 1951 and her M.A. in mental health in 1954. While working as an associate professor in mental health at Yale University.

(2005, January). An exploration of nurse-patient relationships in accident and emergency. Accident and Emergency Nursing, 13(1), 9-14. This article discusses the nurse-patient relationships in the accident and emergency. It looks into nursing theory and research about three distinct experiences from the author. I found the article to be of interest in regards to the topic of barriers in forming the nurse-patient relationship in the emergency setting. Being an ER nurse I can relate to the authors thinking. It can be difficult to establish a relationship due to the limited time spent with the patient. Most relationships can be viewed as “superficial” or “if existing at all”. The nurse could also experience a short but memorable and intense relationship in the emergency setting. The author discusses three distinct relationships and examines them using nursing theory. Cara, C. (2003). A Pragmatic View of Jean Watson's Caring Theory. International Journal for Human Caring, 7(3), 51-61.

...Nursing Theory Comparison Jo Castro, Jennifer Shaver, Damiana Balas-Irimescu, Tami Maddocks NUR/403 Theories and Models of Nursing Practice October 20, 2014 Tricia Proctor Nursing Theory Comparison Nursing theory exists to provide nurses with a framework for practice. Merging the science of theory with the caring of people has become more than just a profession. It is an art. Nursing theorists have worked to develop thinking pathways, aligning themselves with nursing’s unique perspective, in order to holistically address the needs of patients. Using different theories will allow the nurse to examine patient scenarios from different points of view. Orem’s framework focuses, largely, on the patient’s independence. Three theories exist within her framework. The most common one is known as the Self-Care-Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT). Self-care is a regulatory function involved in the promoting of life, health, development, and well-being. Deficits exist when the self-care demand exceeds the patient’s ability to meet it (Banfield, 2011). Neuman’s model, on the other hand, encourages the nurse to view the client as a system. Neuman’s proposed system is comprised of five variables that constantly interact with the environment. The variables include: physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual. The nurse must examine the five dimensions and identify stressors within them that could threaten the health of the patient. Interventions are focused...

...Nursing Philosophy, Model, and Theory Discussion Carolyn Castanier, Victoria Navarro, Carrie Teng NUR/403 April 15, 2013 Joy Brock RN, MSN, FNP University of Phoenix Nursing Philosophy, Model, and Theory Discussion Introduction Our assignment for week four is a discussion of the nurse theorist that we have identified with and have noted as an influence in our practice as nurses. The three of us work in different departments and all have taken something from the theorist we have read and researched. This paper will show the different approaches we all take in our careers. We all have the same goals. But as individuals we take the theorist influence and mold it to our everyday tasks. Victoria Navarro, Martha Rogers Martha Rogers’s theory outlines the interaction between human and environment (Rogers 1970). With that knowledge both medical professional and patients can identify the influences that are detrimental and beneficial to the health and wellbeing of the patient. Armed with this knowledge corrections can be made. During the assessment stage of the nursing process the information obtained must be complete. The information regarding the patient’s life such as diet, home life, life style, employment and relationships are very important to assess needs of improvement. Making the patient a part of their own health process gives the patient a sense of empowerment and will bring better health outcomes. In my practice I have become more inattentive to what...

...The Future of Nursing Theory Discussion NUR 403 October 26, 2014 Introduction The discussion of the future of nursing theory addresses many different directions of nursing. We as nurses have different views, interests, and concerns about the future of nursing. In this paper, we will discuss the following; what has driven nursing theory development, what will drive future development in nursing theory, and how might nursing practice change as a result of evolving nursing theory? What Has Driven Nursing Theory Development? Nursing theories provide a framework for nursing care. The development of nursing theories is the fundamental step in building nursing knowledge, providing care, and nursing research. According to Jennings (1987) "Theory development is at the crux of nursing's evolution into a scientific discipline. It gives definition to nursing's body of knowledge, and direction to research and practice and it gives science direction and continuity" (p. 63). Florence Nightingale believed in promoting health and preventing illness. "Nightingale provides the profession with the expectation that nursing will be practiced by educated individuals using current research and methods (science) as well as compassion and common logic (art)" (Selanders, 2010, p. 83). What Will Drive Future Development in Nursing Theory? Nursing is a profession where change happens continuously, requiring us to keep current with medical advances, and find ways to improve patient care. Nursing...

NUR/403 October 14, 2012 Sharon Little-Stoetzel Defines the concepts of altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity, and social justice. | Altruism is ability to be selfless and dedicated to others. This is a key to nurse-patient relationship. It provides a healing environment for the patient.Autonomy means to have a control in their own decision-making, unless patients are confused and not able to make decisions for themselves. This concept led to informed consent in the healthcare.Human dignity is how people think and behave in relation to the worth or value to themselves and others. Integrity is being honest, or doing the right thing when nobody is looking, being true to yourself and others.Social justice means being fair to all people. Most of the times in healthcare system it means that economic decisions have to be made based on number of people it would benefit. | Describe how each value impacts the practice of a professional nurse. | Altruism is what nursing means.

...Watson’s Theory of Caring Paper Stacimay NUR/403 January 24, 2011 Nita In this paper the subject to discuss is Watson’s Theory of Caring, a description of her key concepts and include the application of Watson’s theory in a nurse-patient relationship. It will identify the carative factors pertinent in the patient-nurse relationship and attempt to provide an explanation of how Watson’s portrayal of person, health, and environment are important facets of her theory. Watson earned her doctoral degree in educational psychology and counseling and a published author of works in psychology and the theory of caring (Cara, 2003). She studied the art of caring throughout the world and her research focused on the art of human caring and loss. Watson’s theory of nursing, “The Philosophy and Science of Nursing” was published in 1979 that began the process identifying the 10 caritive factors (Current Nursing, 2010). According to McCance, McKenna, and Boore, (1999) Watson’s theory of nursing is grounded in the “philosophy of being and knowing (p.1389). Watson (2003) asks that nurses “reexamine our own meaning of life and death” and from this come to understand the art of caring and healing not only of others but also ourselves (p. 197). Watson encourages nurses to return to the basics that beckoned them to become a nurse in the first place and the practice of the art of caring for another human being (Alligood, 2010). The American Nurses Association concurred with Watson...

...Essay zum Thema: „Entspricht die gendersensible Bildung den Vorstellungen Judith Butlers von 'Gender Education'?“ Mädchen lieben Rosa und spielen gern mit Puppen. Jungen mögen die Farbe Blau und Autos. Mädchen und Jungen unterscheiden sich. Bereits im Mutterleib entwickeln sich, ausgehend der unterschiedlich hohen Konzentration des Hormons Testosteron, die männlichen und weiblichen Gehirne unterschiedlich. In männlichen Gehirnen sind die Bereiche für Aggression und Sexualität stärker ausgeprägt, in weiblichen sind beide Hälften besser vernetzt. So reagieren männliche Babys intensiver auf Mobiles, weibliche finden Gesichter spannender. Jungen verfügen beispielsweise über ein ausgeprägteres Vorstellungs- und Orientierungsvermögen, während Mädchen sprachlich versierter sind und sich besser in andere Menschen hineinversetzten können (Röll, Iris; Schwarze-Reiter, Kathrin 2009). Doch Geschlecht wird heute kaum noch als etwas gänzlich eindeutiges und fremdbestimmtes verstanden. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Gene und die Umwelt die geschlechtliche Entwicklung gleichermaßen bestimmen. Generell wird das biologische und das soziale Geschlecht unterschieden. Das biologische Geschlecht, Englisch "Sex", meint die chromosomale, hormonale, gonadale Geschlechtlichkeit sowie die äußeren und inneren Genitalien; während das soziale Geschlecht, Englisch "Gender", das Geschlechtsrollenverhalten bezeichnet, bestehend aus sexuellem Erleben und Verhalten, der Geschlechtsidentifikation und der...

...Watson's Theory of Human Caring Paper NUR 403 Watson's Theory of Human Caring Paper A caring moment occurs whenever a nurse and patient come together with their unique life histories and extraordinary experiences in a human to human transaction. These moments can be verbal or nonverbal. Examples of nonverbal moments can be as simple as a smile or touch for encouragement or more complex such as preparing their body after death for the family to view. Examples of verbal moments can occur when speaking softly to a new born baby, encouraging the patient to express their concerns and fears or simply by telling them goodbye at their time of death. We need to consider that a caring moment can be different for every patient depending on their needs, concerns and emotional status. According to Jean Watson, this human to human connection expands our compassion and caring and keeps alive our common humanity. The major concepts in Watson's theory include the Human being, Health, Environment or society and Nursing. A human being is a valued person to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood and assisted. Health is considered to be a unity and harmony within the mind, body and soul; health is associated with the degree of congruence between the self as perceived and the self as experienced. Environment or society provides the values that determine how one should behave and what goals one should strive toward. Nursing is referred to as human science of persons and...

...Nursing Theory Paper Nurs/403 March 7, 2011 Jacqueline DePaulis Nursing Theory Paper Many different nursing theories have been developed by leaders in the nursing field over the past 40 years. I chose the nurse theorist, Ida Jean Orlando because of my lack of knowledge of Ms. Orlando and her theory, The Deliberative Nursing Process. She was one of the first nursing theorists to write about the nursing process based on her own research. This theory involves interpersonal processes occurring between a patient and a nurse that will identify an immediate need of that patient (Mosby, 2010). Ms. Orlando believed nurses should have more input in a patient’s care than was allowed by the constraints of policies, job description, and protocols. This theory is used in education, nursing, and nursing practice today. Similar to all theories, The Deliberative Nursing Process defines what part the environment, health, person, and nursing roles assume. Background of Ida Jean Orlando Ida Jean Orlando was born in 1926, a first generation of Italian Americans. She received a nursing diploma from New York Medical College. Her first job was at a maternity hospital. Feeling less than challenged as a nurse in her decision making, she went on to receive her Bachelor’s of Science in Pubic Health from St. John's University in Brooklyn, New York. She went into pubic health hoping to find more autonomy but was disappointed to find it consisted of policies and protocols in which the nurses...
