The aim of this essay is to address the key principles involved in delivering person-centred care and to explore issues that have to be taken into consideration, this includes protection of people that may be susceptible to poor care and safeguarding issues. Other key aspects that will be discussed are, the skills required to maintain and promote the principles of person-centred care such as working in a multidisciplinary team and interpersonal skills and how these skills can be applied into practice. The idea of person-centred approach was developed from the work of Dr Carl Rogers (1961). He devised a therapy that focussed on the patient which shifted the idea of the therapist being the expert and it empowered the patients to help them reach
Critique of Noddings’ Ethic of Care In “An Ethic of Caring”, philosopher Nell Noddings puts forth a theory of ethics which tethers the ethical act to basic natural instincts to help others with whom we are in an ethical relation, ultimately grounding all ethical acts in one’s own memory of being in a similar plight as the other. This, according to Noddings, universalizes one’ own concept of the ethical self according to one wishing to follow a narrative of moral wealth—of not only always being able to give back what have received, but giving back what we would have wanted for ourselves. Although her argument sidesteps the classical belief that ethical systems ought to be objective and logically-binding, she nevertheless presents a theory which is far from abstruse and, in fact, quite intuitive.
Whether another nurse or higher medical provider it isn’t right and is a major concern in healthcare. ANA recognizes that incivility, bullying, and violence in the workplace are serious issues in nursing. Currently, there is no federal standard that requires workplace violence protections, but several states have enacted legislation
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
In the following paragraphs, the grand theory of Jean Watson will be explored for its usefulness in practice. We will explore how the theory is congruent with current nursing standards and nursing interventions. Next, we will study if her theory has been tested empirically, if it is supported by research and if it is accurate. We will explore if there is evidence that her theory has been used by nursing educators, researchers, and nursing administrators. Then we will study how her theory is relevant socially and cross-culturally.
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.
Consequently, the discussion about nursing home abuse and neglect should never be a topic of discussion to discuss. Mainly, because unfortunate occurrences of neglect and abuse in nursing homes across America should have never happened and/or occurred in the first place. Unfortunately, it does happen. When reading Pozgar’s and Santucci’s Chapter Six: Criminal Law- Healthcare, it is sickening to not only read, but also grasp in clear-cut detail of the repeated instances of nursing home abuse and neglect.
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).
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.
The first theory I chose to write about was that of Rachel Naomi Remen: To Be of Service. “Spiritual experience is not taught: it is found, uncovered, and recovered” (Seaward, 2013, p.45). I really liked Rachel’s theory of introducing human spirituality back into people’s lives by using holistic healing and unconventional methods of healing. Rachel believes that if we start to heal our souls that you can start a personal journey from illness to wholeness once again.
Registered nurses are required to deliver wide-range nursing attention and treatment to all persons in a healthcare setup (American Nurses ' Association, 2000). Notably, they have to offer emergency care and guarantee the safe execution of treatment. It is mandatory for nurses to demonstrate a broad knowledge of the laws and regulations that are in line with their profession. Additionally,
‘John Watson was one of the early American psychologists to break the Freudian notions that our unconscious mind was behind most of our behavior’ - Gary Gilles. John Watson was considered the ‘father’ of behaviourism, behaviorism is the scientific study of human behaviour (Schatzie, 2016). Watson was responsible for making Ivan Pavlov’s ideas and principles into part of a psychological norm by applying it to humans. He was impressed with Pavlov’s accurate measurement of observable behaviours and believed that Pavlov’s model could be extended towards diverse forms of learning and personality characteristics. Watson believed that the goal of psychology should be ‘the prediction and control of behavior’, meaning that one should be able to assume an upcoming behavioral action and ultimately learn how

Recalling back, there was a time in which behaviorism as a term needed no explanation as to its title. Psychologist knew the logic that was new with the brand of psychology that was introduced by Watson, which completely broke the proposed tradition, and rejected that psychology had nothing to do with our consciousness or an introspective method. In today's time the term behaviorism has created a general view point that has been widely accepted by various psychologists, in which, doesn't have any particular group or theoretical opinion. "In fact, there are no proponents today of the original Watsonian version. this statement holds true only for the particular pattern of assumptions that Watson advanced.
