The vital principle of the model is that person can take responsibility for their health and the health of others. Nurses are encouraged to rate their patient's dependencies or each of the self-care deficits on the following scale: A person's self-care deficits are a result of the compensatory system, in which the nurse provides total care; the partial compensatory system, in which the nurse and the patients share responsibilities for care; and the educative-development system, in which the patient has the primary responsibility for personal health, with the nurse acting as a consultant (Orem, 2005). The Roper, Logan and Tierney model The second method was, The Roper, Logan, Tierney model. This was selected as methods because it focuses on holistic care and base on the idea of health rather than illness and disease. It focuses on the patient as an individual and his relationship with the five components of the model.
There is a direct link between the amounts of stressors that nurses “juggle” and how the effect of those stressors tend to affect their patient outcomes, either positively or negatively. This study resulted in the description of a new phenomenon referred to as complexity compression; which is defined as the stress that a nurse experiences when they are overwhelmed with assuming added and often unplanned responsibilities, while continuing to carry out multiple duties in a condensed time frame (Krichbaum et al., 2007). Introduce the article early in the assignment by name. Method of study The qualitative research method was utilized to conduct this study. A focus group consisted of fifty-eight (58) nurse clinicians, working in an acute care hospital setting, whom were randomly selected from all nursing departments.
Assessment Tool Analysis Papaer NUR/440 November 25, 2013 j Assessment Tool Analysis Papaer In the healthcare industry assessment tools are very useful; nurses and doctors use these tools for different diagnoses. In this paper there will be discussion about three different assessment tools, data about these tools, the validity of the information from these tools, the assessment process using these tools, and applying them to a vulnerable population. Assessment tools are both beneficial to the provider and the patient. The three assessment tools that will be discussed throughout this paper are the Calgary Family Assessment Model, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, and the Well Being Picture Scale. When a family member is sick or hospitalized it can affect the whole family not just the patient.
Assessment Tool Analysis Paper University of Phoenix NUR/440 – Health Assessment and Promotion for Vulnerable Population April 7, 2014 Assessment Tool Analysis Paper As nurses, our number one goal is to provide the best possible patient care to insure the best possible outcomes for our patients’. In order to make this accomplishment possible we turn to the application of evidence based practice. As we begin the first steps of the nursing process we often employ the use of evidence based assessment tools in accomplishing a baseline and an ongoing or reassessment of our patients. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the definition and purpose of two assessment tools: SPICES (sleep disorders, problems with eating, incontinence, confusion, evidence of falls, and skin breakdowns), Katz activities of daily living (ADL) scale. We will also examine the population these tools are best designed for, as well the ease of using each tool, and the validity of each tool.
The second belief stems around what resources are available within their environment to aid the dependent individual. This theory is the core of Orem’s grand theory of nursing because it characterizes when nursing is needed. The third and final interrelated theory is the theory of nursing systems. This describes the actual actions the nurses perform to assist people with the self care needs and deficiencies. It breaks down the nurse patient relationship and roles into three categories, Wholly compensatory, partly compensatory, and supportive.
Assessment Tool Analysis Kim Hoang NUR/440 January 16, 2013 Elena Purcar This paper will discuss three assessment tools that evaluate on-physical measures. Nurses should be knowledgeable in tools to expand the abilities of nurses to assess and evaluate clients in various stages and states of health, illness, stress and life. The three assessment tools that will be discussed are the Mini-Mental State exam, the Well Being Picture Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Mini-Mental State Exam The Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is a standardized screening tool that assists in determining our older clients’ current abilities and disabilities, and planning specific interventions based on the screening (Agostinelli, Demers & Waszynski, 1994). The MMSE has been used to detect cognitive deficits and to assess cognitive changes over time.
I wanted to see how other nurses dealt with the stresses of this field and the burnout rate. In any occupation people can experience burnout or dissatisfaction. When I came across this article in look intriguing so I choose to do my article review over it. Additionally, the abstract said that it gave suggestions to how to improve job satisfaction in mental heath nursing so I thought it would be beneficial to read even if I don’t decided to work in mental heath. “Burnout is a psychological experience that manifests itself in individual, particularly those involved in difficult person-to-person relationships as part of their work, such as nursing professionals (Hamaideh 1).
Desired outcomes must be patient-centered and measurable within an identified timeframe. • For each outcome, state two nursing interventions using NIC criteria as well as one evaluation method. Interventions and the evaluation method must be appropriate to the desired outcomes. • Provide rationale for each nursing diagnosis, and explain how PES, NANDA, NOC, and NIC apply to each diagnosis. Use a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources, and create an APA formatted reference page.
The student nurse will reflect on health promotion issues as this stood out to me in several areas, The student nurse discovered that although we can nurse a patient back to health it is so important to make the patient aware of how necessary it is for them to participate in their care by adhering to what is recommended to them by various members of the Multidisciplinary Team and the devastating consequences that the patient can encounter if advice is ignored. The student nurse will use the Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle, this encouraged thinking systematically about all phases of an activity. Gibbs (1988) is descriptive with regards to feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusions and action plans, therefore ideal for this assignment. Although I experienced many different aspects of care regarding health promotions this assignment will concentrate mainly on a single event that will stay with me throughout my nursing career. According to Scottish Government (2010) Healthcare Quality Strategy for NHS Scotland, nurse’s carers and people at the heart of the healthcare and care delivery services should improve conditions in NHS Scotland and the care provided, on reading this strategy I understand a nurses responsibility, but the importance of patient participation in their own care is invaluable and the cooperation and communication with the Multidisciplinary Team is essential to complete patient care package to the highest standard.
Dorothea Orem-Self Care Theory Dorothea Orem- Self Care Theory Dorothea Orem’s theory of self-care is based on three related theories: the theory of self- care, the theory of self-care deficit and the theory of nursing systems (Roussel, 2013). Dorothea Orem’s theories have become a central point in the progress of curriculum for numerous schools of nursing (Flynn & Heffron, 1988). According to Orem, it is the special focus on human beings that distinguishes or differentiates nursing from other human services (Nursing Theory, 2013). Orem’s viewpoint of nursing is centered on each person’s self-care agency. She defined self-care as, “the practice of activities that individuals personally initiate and perform on their own behalf in maintaining life, health, and well-being” (Nursing Theory, 2013).
