Empirical Referents Empirical referent studies support Watson’s theory by affirming the existence of a positive relationship between patient satisfaction and nurse caring behaviors in numerous clinical settings. Nursing education plays a significant role in the achievement the caring concept and is accentuated throughout the nurse's professional career (Labrague, Mcenroe-Petitte, Papathanasiou, Edet, & Arulappan, 2015). Patient satisfaction is a measurable component used to determine the care received from nurse clinicians. Stroehlein (2016) indicates that although there is a large constituent of many occupations, caring in the nursing occupation assumes an exceptional meaning with a higher purpose. Caring is multifaceted and comparable have determined individuals whose intention is to open the eyes of the society through rendering high quality patient care (Stroehlein, 2016). Construct Cases Model Case On his way to work, a young man met a 60 years old Indian female who appeared sick and took her to the clinic. Initially, the patient was not willing to be examined by the nurse however, after talking to her calmly and …show more content…
It is created through analysis of research and construction of concepts and theories (Busso, Poles, & Monteiro da Cruz, 2014). Concept analysis serve a purpose within theory development as it represents continuation of knowledge in nursing profession. When theories and concepts are developed, it must be practiced in a clinical setting to validate research. The caring concept applies to Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring as it creates an environment for healing, bonding, and improving patient outcomes. The concept of caring depicts the attitude of the nurse and the inclination given to meet the needs of the patient from emotional or physical standpoints (Emerson, 2017). Through concept application, caring concepts are able to enhance Human Caring theory and transform the patient’s quality of
The concept of caring incorporates empathy, connection, and the ability to transpose these concepts into compassionate, ethical, sensitive, appropriate care to individuals in their nursing practice (Ray, 2015). CNMU ascertains the four domains of nursing as: Person: An individual is a holistic being that possess intrinsic dignity and worth (New Mexico State University (NMSU), 2013). An individual is part of a family, a community, and the world, and becomes the primary focus of nursing when there is a potential or an actual health care need (ENMU, 2015) Health: Pertains to the holistic aspect of a person (NMSU, 2013). It envelops the persons mind, body, spirit to maintain harmony physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, and in all moral realms of the holistic aspect of the person (ENMU, 2015).
Nurses make a moral commitment to care for all patients and take responsibility for the healthcare environment they work in. In the acute care setting, the bedside nurse plays an important role in improving patient satisfaction and maintaining a safe environment. Currently, patient satisfaction during hospitalization is measured by data collected from the HCAHPS
These viewpoints have importance for medicine as well as for nursing or other health professions. The complete practice of human caring theory is most fully realized in a nursing theory because nursing allows for the constant caring factor that medicine does not have;
Jean Watson’s theory of care is a grand theory which falls into middle-range theory. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring described care as both an art and science. The framework of the method of care accepts art, science, humanities, spirituality and new directions on mind, body, spirit, medicine, and nursing (_______). With high nurse to patient ration, the nurse will not be able to provide the ten carative factors of Dr. Jean Watson’s theory of care. They will also not be able to perform all the necessary care and treatments required for a patient.
Philosophy of Nursing Everyone’s values and beliefs about the profession of nursing are all different. The four concepts of nursing are interrelated and all mean something different to every person, too. Throughout this paper, I will be reflecting on my values and beliefs about nursing through the four concepts while comparing them to a nursing theorist with views that are most similar to my own.
Therefore, my PowerPoint presentation demonstrates how the human caring concepts of providing basic personal needs, creating a healing, caring environment, solving problems mutually, respecting all people and appreciating individuality can be applied to all forms of therapeutic nursing interventions in areas of practice, education, and administration. Develops therapeutic nursing interventions which may impact healthcare outcomes for individuals, families, populations, and/or systems (i.e. rural and underserved areas). My PowerPoint demonstrates how the concepts from The Quality Caring Model © can facilitate the provision of quality patient care by using therapeutic nursing interventions. Most notably, the research and the creation of my PowerPoint demonstrates how this model investigates exactly how therapeutic nursing interventions can be measured for their effects on patient outcomes using experimental designs, which has yielded favorable outcomes.
Born in the early winter of 1878, in South Carolina, Johnny Boy’s mother gave birth to a miniscule, pink infant. She dubbed him with the name of a Baptist preacher, hoping he would grow up to adhere to her religious beliefs. Little did she know that not only would he grace the stage of modern psychology with his research, but also completely reject any and all forms of religion. Despite this, he may most certainly be one of the most influential psychologists in history due to his groundbreaking experiments and articles that shaped behaviorism to perform how it does today. Generally speaking, psychology prior to his breakthroughs was sparsely decorated with evidence supporting his claims.
From these realizations I have concluded that the professional nursing theories which most align with my own philosophy is a combination of Jean Watson’s theory of human caring and Rosemarie Parse’s theory of human becoming. Watson’s theory of human caring outlines the science behind caring as a driving force and framework for practice in nursing. It explores the concept that “humanities address themselves to deeper values of the quality of living and dying, which involve philosophical, ethical, psychosocial and moral issues” (Watson, 2005, p. 2). Within her original text, Watson outlined 10 “carative factors” which help integrate the science of healthcare field with the more holistic nuances of nursing and the phenomena that is the human
It is the person and their physical, emotional, and psychological needs that are the basic focus of nursing’s attention. In order to care for a patient, the nurse must incorporate all these needs. For example, providing reassurance with an anxious patient who just finished hip surgery. Care also plays a major part when taking care of a unique patient. Caring influences my personal philosophy because it is the most important aspect of nursing.
Jean Watson – Caring Science Theory Katrine S. Edwards Mercy College Abstract Dr. Jean Watson began her career as a Registered Nurse in 1961, however, she did not stop learning and advancing her mind there. Over several years she obtained multiple degrees; including a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Counseling. Serious personal loss led Dr. Watson to fully realize her beliefs and to truly comprehend her own writings stimulating her to formulate her Caring Science Theory. Dr. Watson’s theory is comprised of 10 Caritas Processes that bring arts and humanities together with science to provide more loving and compassionate care to yourself and others. Dr. Watson’s theory speaks to me because I believe that everyone is entitled
Evaluating person-centred practice It has been recognised that while there is a lot of emphasis onproviding care that is person-centred, translating the core concepts into professional practice is challenging, with few research studies reported that evaluate the caring outcomes that may arise from PCN (McCormack & McCance 2006). This has been further compounded by the lack of valid instruments within the literature that go some way to measuring elements of person-centred practice (Traynor & Wade 1993, Adams et al. 1995, Coyle & Williams 2001). The measurement of caring, however, has faired somewhat differently, with a proliferation of instruments reported in the literature that aim to measure caring in nursing.

These theories provide an insight into the lives and minds of many patients I see on a daily basis. They aid the skills we need in order to provide efficient and holistic care for patients. Having a knowledge of why a patient may act a certain way or feel a certain way makes it easier to empathise and develop a stronger relationship with patients. The in depth knowledge of these psychological theories strengthens the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is a bond between nurse and patient.
Providing care to a patient is a particularly challenging process that requires a great deal of effort from a nurse. A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future. As such, nurses must exhibit specific qualities in their practice in order to maintain the best standard of care for their patients. Given this, I believe that the standards of knowledge, advocacy, and self-awareness are foundational to the nursing practice and to a nurse’s capacity to provide quality patient care. Knowledge
