Application Rationale For Selecting The Theory Of Caring

In this abstract, I will explain the specifics of my research and a detailed outline of my paper.

I agree with Eric Dishman and his ideas that were created from his personal experiences. When Eric discussed how he was diagnosed with a terminal illness that gave him a few years to live, it swept him off guard. He was ready to accept his fate and die from this illness since he believed in what his doctors told him. Fortunately, he had a friend he had made while enduring all his tests to lead up to his illness. She helped him research his illness and what cause and effects take place. Without her help he wouldn't have fought through his illness and came out to where he is today. His ideas that patient cared should be centered around the patient and accessible at home too. This idea allows that patient to be more in control of their health.

I do feel this is a great model to use as it keeps medical professionals accountable for the care they are providing to their patients either in the clinic or the hospital setting. It is important also for a provider to see their outcomes. I do feel that seeing the changes they can make in someone’s quality of life will be a motivating factor if not the reward or compensation received for a job well done.

Theory is defined as “a set of interrelated relational statements about a phenomenon that is useful for description, explanation, prediction, and prescription or control” (Walker & Avant, 2011, p. 193). A theoretical approach of a phenomenon is constructed to answer questions and provide new perspectives into the nature of the phenomenon, attempting to establish a model that can be applied to different situations, and deliver a clear idea of the phenomenon, what affects it and how it may affect what surrounds it (Walker & Avant, 2011).

According to the literature review, what is one thing past research has taught us about this theory?

The nursing process I have realized should be applied in every situation in nursing and chapter

The position offered in this paper comes in three stages, all of which will be elaborated and clarified. The first

Jean Watson introduced the Theory of Human Caring in 1985 through her book Nursing: Human Science and Human Care. Watson’s goal was “to present nursing as a distinct entity, a profession, a discipline and science in its own right, separate from, but complementary to, medicine” (Watson, 1985). Her theory was never stagnate and evolved over time with the changes of nursing. Watson’s theory began with the Carative factors, which guides the fundamentals of nursing. Carative factors are looked at as caring actions nurses can carry out day by day. Some of the factors included instillation of faith and hope and development of a helping-trusting human caring relationship (Watson Caring Science Institute, 2015). Watson

When it comes to defining theory, researchers assign a number of means meanings, have numerous views, and define varying criteria (Gay & Weaver, 2011). In fact, differences of opinion are not limited to the definition of theory; but also, (a) the nature of theory; (b) the criteria for establishing good theory; (c) its purpose; and, (d) the best method for theory-building (Gay & Weaver, 2011). Why are there such differing opinions about theory? Gay

Theoretical Foundation: What theory is being tested (or created)? What are the main concepts? [9]

1. What are each authors ' findings and explain what the findings mean. Also, what are some reasons for the variation in results? Be specific. The articles discuss this answer at length. This answer should be no less than 400 words.
