In Voices from the Inside, caregiving is centered on the American context, which is in sharp contrast to other cultures. “… students from different cultures sometimes comment that the ambivalence felt by many Americans about caregiving would not even arise in the consciousness of people in their respective countries. In societies where the most fundamental social unit is the group rather than the individual, people automatically and unquestionably subordinate their personal goals to family needs”.

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
Eleven In short story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros she uses different stylistic techniques such as imagery and figurative language such as similes to create the narrator's youthful voice. The author uses imagery to make the the narrator sound like a little girl on page 3 it indicates in the following quote “ This is when I wish I wasn't eleven because all the years inside of me ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two and one are pushing at the back of my eyes when I put one arm through one sleeves of the sweater that smells like a cottage cheese” this shows that she still a little girl because as she putting it on she crying because she doesn't wanna put on the sweater it stanks and it's not hers. The author displays imagery through the story by using the quote, “ I wish I wasn't eleven because all the years inside of me ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two and one are pushing at the back of my eyes when I put one arm through one sleeves of the sweater that smells like a cottage cheese”.
An explanation of approaching family as context is explained in relation to nursing, and a personal example of
Personal Philosophy of Nursing Evelyn Adam's Theory of Conceptual Model in Nursing states that the goal of nursing is to "facilitates the patient's independence in meeting basic health needs" (Webber, 2015). To accomplish this, nurses must develop a therapeutic Nurse-Client relationship. This relationship is goal-directed and puts the client at the center of all nursing interventions. The way we interact with patients is shaped by our past, personalities, and individual experiences. There have been numerous theories offering different perspectives of nursing, but every one of them has a unique goal to improve the quality of care.
My Philosophical Worldview of Nursing The interaction of human beings and the setting of domicile must be fully explored to appreciate their way of life. My nursing worldview is shaped mostly by my beliefs and values and somewhat by the work of Florence Nightingale at during the Crimean war. According to Fee & Garofalo (2010), Nightingale’s work focused on the surroundings of the sick soldiers.
My personal practice framework (PPF) has been heavily influenced by Jean Watson and her theory of caring. Alligood (2014), lists a carative factor in Watson’s theory that is a foundation to my practice as a family nurse practitioner (FNP); “Development of a helping-trusting, human caring relation” (p. 79). I believe the role of the nurse practitioner is to go beyond the physical assessment of the patient and establish a connection that builds over time to develop a trusted relationship. Our ability to effectively communicate and maintain connections with patients leads to a relationship where we can be influential to our patients.
This kind of practice separates physician care from nursing care, because nurses make a personal connection with their patients. “Holism involves studying and understanding the interrelationships of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of the person, recognizing that the whole is greater than the
The purpose of this paper is to describe how nursing’s philosophical foundations influence nursing practice and my personal philosophy. My Philosophy I have always viewed nursing as an art; throughout history, nurses have derived conceptual models and theories from other disciplines to create nursing theories and apply them to clinical practice. “As nursing theoretical thinking has evolved, there has been a need to embrace both the practical aspects of practice while dealing with those questions that have classically been the purview of philosophy” (Pesut & Johnson, 2007, p. 116).
The focus of this paper will be to discuss my nursing philosophy which expands on two of the four core values expressed by the EKU CHS DBGN- nursing (holistic care) and health (spiritual). My Nursing Philosophy
The first step of nursing is to make sure the stressors are removed, and if the stressors cannot be abolished, then the nurse should look for ways to get the client’s structure and maintain their wellness. Peplau’s interpersonal theory shows that nurse/patient’s relations to grow through identification, orientation, exploitation, and resolution whereby their
The final concept is nursing. To define it, it’s a serving service, and a technology (Dorothea Orem 's Self-Care Theory, 2014). Engagements intentionally designated and executed by the nurses to support individuals below their precaution to sustain or altered disorders (Dorothea Orem 's Self-Care Theory, 2014). This also includes the patient’s viewpoint of health state, the Doctor’s standpoint, and the nursing perspective (Dorothea Orem 's Self-Care Theory, 2014). Nursing’s goal is to concentrate on the patient and how to sustain his or her well-being, life and health (Dorothea Orem 's Self-Care Theory, 2014).
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.
Now nurses have many roles, such as care takers, decision makers, advocates and teachers and they often assume several roles at the same time. Because of the diversity of nursing role nurses need a philosophy of nursing to guide their practice. The practice of nursing is the care of patients through a professional interpersonal relationship. Nurses apply behavioural scientific principles, biologic scientific principles, and principles of humanism in a
