The first provision of the American Nurses Association’s (ANA) “Code of Ethics” states, “ The nurse, in all professional relationships, practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth and uniqueness of every individual, unrestricted by considerations of social or economic status, personal attributes, or the nature of health problems.” The second provision states, “The nurse’s primary commitment is the patient, whether the patient is an individual, family, group, or community” (Fowler, 2010). As nurses we need to respect the autonomy and allow for the patient to express their choices and concerns. We also need to provide them with support by giving them knowledge and understanding so they
Theory would help these new graduates with their nurse-patient relationships. They concluded that Peplau’s Theory would be beneficial in teaching holistic care and communication to nurses. “Through the fostering of holistic practice, nurses will have an increased ability to process the feelings, thoughts, and emotions they may have toward their patients” (Deane & Fain, 2015). Peplau’s

Smyth uses a two-phase research study with questionnaires to assess how nurses effectively use spirituality on their acute care units. He found that nurses do not have a clear definition of spirituality or concept of it, but understand it is vital to patient care (Smyth, 2011). This is vital to my PICOT statement because it shows nurses want to implement a spiritual assessment, but they need a clearer understanding of what spirituality includes to better help the patient. Another article is Spirituality Self-care Effects on Quality of Life for Patients Diagnosed with Chronic Illness by White. This article expands on the Orem’s self-care deficit including spiritual self-care practices, using a study looking at the impact integrating spirituality has on the health of the patient. They found, “the use of spirituality self-care practices can promote quality of life through participation in interpersonal and intrapersonal activities that give meaning to life” (White, 2013). This is important to my PICOT because it shows the positive effects of spirituality on the quality of life the patient can have with it included versus the outcome without it. The final article is Spiritual care at the end of life, written by Wynne. Wynne looks at how health care professionals should include spirituality especially in palliative care because it
...r over 12 years now, I have only been a nurse for 15 months. Within my short nursing career, I have been able to realize and define personal concepts and thoughts on the nursing profession and the care it provides. However, I also recognize that my personal philosophies may slightly change dependent on professional and personal experiences that I encounter throughout my lifetime. The nursing care that I continually strive to provide encompasses compassion, honesty, and empathy. I feel that it is important to remember that people are people, not just diseases and illnesses and should be treated as such. The idea of person encompasses not only self, but also individuals, families, and communities; the person is the true focus of the nursing profession for me. The main goal of nursing care is to assist others in achieving optimal health or comfort and acceptance.
Person centred care can be defined as “providing care that is responsive to individual personal preferences, needs and values and assuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.” (Nes, 2013¹) Other definitions suggest that in order to achieve person centred care, healthcare practitioners must place themselves in the patient’s shoes to enable them to be compassionate and respectful towards the patient’s needs
Patient-centered care (PCC) is a healthcare model focused on actively involving the patient in all aspects of planning, implementation and monitoring of care. It integrates respect for the patient’s needs, values and beliefs into the health care process. Important aspects of PCC are collaborative care, Family-centered care, and comfort. PCC allows the patient to have autonomy and a more collaborative role in making decisions regarding their treatment.
We know that a majority of our profession is made up of highly educated and trained professionals; colleagues who advocate for patient autonomy and patient-centered care (the patient’s right and ability to make their own informed decisions). Similarly, as nurses, we have the right and the ability to deliver autonomously holistic primary nursing care. Both nursing and patient autonomy allow for the healthy development of a respectful partnership: a relationship that can foresee and respond to patient/family needs (e.g., physical comfort, emotional, informational, cultural, spiritual, and learning needs) (Finkelman & Kenner, 2016, p. 274).
It can be argued that the largest yet most neglected health care personnel is patient. It doesn’t matter if the care is a cutting edge or technology advanced if it doesn’t take the patients goals and views into account. The phrase ‘Patient Centered Care (PCC)’ is in vogue, but its meaning is poorly understood. PCC is providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to individual patient’s preference, needs and ensuring that patient’s values guide all clinical diagnosis.
Person Centred Care (PCC) is an important integrity in care, it develops patient- nurse relationship, enables increase in patient’s healthcare, development and satisfaction in the care provided. Research proves that modern day health care has incorporated the notion of patient-centred practise and empowerment regardless substantial encounters which hinders carrying out PCC in clinical practice (Ekman et al, 2011). To achieve a subsequent experience for a patient, routines need to be established to safeguard, initiate and incorporate consistency in practice. So, this essay will explore the definition of PCC, discuss four examples in context to PCC such as Communication, Confidentiality, Choice, and treating patients with dignity and respect.
When someone hears holistic nursing their mind may immediately jump to a form of hippie nursing with little to none scientific background or accuracy in the quality of care. This belief however is extremely inaccurate as to what holistic nursing really is. Holistic care can be defined as to when the nurse honors the patient’s wishes and takes into consideration the social, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the patient’s life (American Holistic Nurses Association, n.d.). Holistic nursing is growing in popularity amongst patients because of its open communication between nurse and patient, its unique approach to health and healing, as well as the comprehensive care it can provide.
Evidence based practice (EBP) is a key component in delivering cost-effective, high quality health care. [1] However, only around half of the care providers in the United States utilized EBPs. Additionally, nearly a quarter of services delivered to American consumers are unnecessary and potentially harmful. Today, educators are teaching and promoting evidenced based health care to future nursing professionals. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) supports this action as a means to achieve the objective that 90 percent of all medical treatments have a foundation in evidence based practices by the year 2020.
One feature of evidence based practice is a problem-solving approach that draws on nurses’ experience to identify a problem or potential diagnosis. After a problem is identified, evidence based practice can be used to come up with interventions and possible risks involved with each intervention. Next, nurses will use the knowledge and theory to do clinical research and decide on the appropriate intervention. Lastly, evidence base practice allows the patients to have a voice in their own care. Each patient brings their own preferences and ideas on how their care should be handled and the expectations that they have (Fain, 2017, pg.
Person-centred processes: It focuses on providing care with holistic approach, respecting patient’s values and beliefs, and working in partners.
1.The characteristics that intrigued me of the nursing practice was as a patient at the Danbury Medical Center. As a patient, the nurses gave me the most delightful patient care ever received. They took their time to make sure my care was an urgency. When my pain had increased the nurses were there by my side. They had taken the time to make sure the proper dose of medicine was given to me at the correct time. Even though my current status was lying in bed with a fractured femur. They took the time to make sure my needs were met. I had never expected that going to the hospital from flying off a cliff on my skateboard would direct me in my future dream job. The nurses showed me what patient care really and truly was. Patient care is putting others in front of your own needs. Being a great nurse is showing your patient that there is hope. Patient care is not only making sure your patient is satisfied but making sure their family and loved ones are cared for as well.
