Application of Theory: Health Informatics and Patient Self-Care Lisa R Gbasie Chamberlain College of Nursing NR501 Theoretical Basis for Advanced Nursing August 2012 Health Informatics and Patient Self-Care Though we may not consciously utilize nursing theory in practice nursing reverts back to nursing theories during most nurse-patient encounters. When we are caring for muslim patient cultural values and beliefs are an issue. Nursing utilizes many venues to remain culturally sensitive, such as applying Leininger’s cultural care diversity and universality theory, researching information on the internet, or by simply asking the patient or family what are their expectations of care. We may also revert to Orem’s theory of Self-Care when dealing with a patient that is having difficulty caring for themselves following surgery or throughout a chronic illness. Dorothea Orem’s view of man as a self-care agent and man’s capability for purposive and deliberate action to act on their own to meet self-care goals will be reflected in this paper.

Do not move too fast into another question and allow for the “silent question” which can lead to further response. When you get “yes” or “no” responses ask why or why not?
The key to giving good nursing care to a client from another culture is clear, precise communication, understanding of the family structure, educational values, and health and nutritional values. If a nurse’s communication skills are such that the patient is offended by the interaction, poor or misinterpreted communication could offend a patient and/or put his medical or nutritional well being at risk. The Egyptian Muslims' native languages are French, Arabic, and English, and they encompass certain cultural beliefs that a nurse should be aware of to gain respect (CIA). According to Maya M. Hammoud, MD, “Arabic speech is often repetitive and flowery rather than short and straightforward, which means that the provider might want to engage in social courtesies, especially when establishing a new relationship with a patient or patient’s family.” Use open-ended and focused questions and maintain boundaries. Women who observe hijab (covering the head and body )and devout Muslim men may not shake hands with someone of the opposite sex; therefore, if the client does not offer their hand first, contact should be avoided.
Culture and cultural competency in health promotion The heritage assessment tool is useful in that it evaluates the needs of the whole person and allows the nurse to provide care using the holistic approach. This includes addressing the cultural aspects of the patient’s lifestyle. Care can then be provided to patients and the community as a whole without infringing on their culture or religion. It gives the nurse a better understanding of how to approach caring for the patients or communities and the tools she would need with the approach. Health traditions differ for every culture.

In return these results in a person thinking more carefully about the way they speak to a person of a different culture and to clarify questions. The fourth principle says that cultures vary with respects to the number do’s and don’ts. Like the Native Americans they have beliefs about spiritual healing that is unbreakable by its tribal members. Because of these beliefs health care providers have to know the in’s and out’s so they can treat them medically without causing a cultural issue. The fifth principle urges a health care provider to study and learn the many differences and variations of certain cultural groups so they can better understand them.
