Comprehensive Caring Model

The five conceptual framework pillars of South University are caring, communication, critical thinking, professionalism and holism (South University, West Palm Beach [SUWPB], 2016). In order to provide optimal care, this framework must work as an interconnected system where each one plays a crucial role. The five major components must be integrated in every facet. For example, caring is one of the fundamental cores of nursing, which must be used along with communication, professionalism, the ability to use good critical thinking skills, and holism. Holism is what Rogers’ unitary model emphasizes upon. Rogers’ science of unitary human beings allows the pillars to be interdependent on each other. In a holistic model, holism encompasses the other pillars in that

The Theory of Human caring is a middle range theory developed by Jean Watson with the focus on the relation between use of the clinical caritas processes and the building of a transpersonal caring relationship within the context of caring occasion and caring consciousness. The Theory of Human Caring honors the unity of the whole human being, while focusing on creating a healing environment (Watson, 2006). Watson had preference for human science, and clearly shunned the mechanistic and reductionist word view (Watson, 1985, as cited in Fawcett & DeSanto-Madeya, 2017). According to Watson, person is “an experiencing and perceiving spiritual being” (Watson, 1999, as cited in

Cancer is a term used for diseases in which irregular cells divide without any control and have the capability to penetrate and infect normal body tissue through the blood and lymph system. Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States, exceeded barely by heart disease. According to the CDC Cancer Statistics and Data, there were more than 1.45 million people diagnosed with various kind of cancer between 1999 and 2007 and out of those more than 562,000 people died due to cancer (cdc.gov, 2012). Currently there are more than 200 different types of cancer that have been discovered. Cancer could be

Holistic nursing to me is a practice of applying both subjective and objective patient assessment into the plan of care. Not only do we need to look at the physical condition of the patient, but also their social and environmental factors that influence their state of health. When this application process is incorporated into the patient plan of care, we are incorporating all aspects of the patient’s life that help define and create their ideal state of health. In review of several nursing theories discussed by Montgomery-Dossey and Keegan (2012), which incorporate the aspect of holistic nursing practice, I found that Jean Watson’s Theory of Transpersonal Caring was most closely linked to aspects of my current nursing practice.

The term hope permeates all aspects of life. In 1978, Harvey Milk, an American gay activist, delivered a speech that still rings through today. His message not only challenges our willingness to embrace and celebrate our differences, but it offers a message of hope. The concept of hope has long been considered an important aspect of being human and has been discussed in various areas of literature (Morse, Mitcham, Hupsy, & Tason 2006). Hope has is an abstract idea that has an appeal intuitive across several disciplines, including healthcare (Davidson, Dracup, Phillips, Daly & Padilla, 2007). Many interpretations and conceptions of hope exist within this discipline . Hope focuses on the various ways in which human beings survive in life, despite the many traumatic events that lead to the disruptions of life that can occur.

Jean Watson is one of the most influential nurse theorists of the 21st century. Her development of Caring Science/Human Caring Theory have put greater importance of a patient as a whole being, and a nurse’s role in care. Through her 10 caritas process, Watson has developed ways for nurses to foster a positive, caring relationship with their patients to aid in healing and development. The Watson Caring Science Institute as well as the Watson Caring Science Center continue the development and integration of these theories into the workplace, thus allowing nurses to provide better patient-centered care.

Your examples for implementation of relational caring complexity are wonderful. I believe these are great examples of the theory because they shows what can be done organizationally to implement caring for the specific population you are caring for and for other members of your organization. Well done.

Carey Counseling Center’s model for care begins with the patient in which is identified for need with a mental health issue. These individuals are identified through screening efforts of community hospitals, jails, churches, and other community services. The most common form of mental health services comes from Carey’s crisis team, designated for 24 hour on call services rendered to the seven Carey Counseling Center counties in which we operate. Once identified, the next input sector is the trained medical staff. In recent years the identification of nurse practitioners has lightened the responsibility of medical doctors so that services can be rendered but at a much more reasonable rate for insurance providers, while addressing the medical

As humans, we naturally want to care for and be taken care of. According to (McEwen & Wills) concepts are terms that refer to phenomena that occur in nature or in thought. Caring is a concept that everyone can relate to and wants. The term “caring” can be used in relation to nurses, patients, and healthcare facilities.

The purpose of this study was to examine which nurse caring behaviors in the critical care unit are perceived as most important and least important by patients with myocardial infarction. A sample of 44 subjects responded to an open-ended question and an assessment scale, the Caring Behaviors Assessment. Two comparison groups of 22 subjects each were formed from the sample to determine if number of previous admissions to the critical care unit made a difference in perceptions of most important and least important nurse caring behaviors. Descriptive statistics along with t-test, chi-square, and two-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.

“The Fundamentals of Caring” is a film about Ben, a care-worker who looks after a young boy named Trevor, and the events that proceed through their growing relationship. Ben is a retired writer and his wife is trying to divorce him, likely because of the death of their son, which occurred three years prior. Ben failed to park the car properly, causing the the gear of the car to shift and roll back, killing his son . Elsa, Trevor’s extremely over-protective mother, has hired Ben because of her long hours of work as a bank clerk. Trevor is an eighteen year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, so he is restricted to a wheelchair and requires around the clock care due to his disease. Ben convinces Elsa that Trevor needs to see the world, and since Trevor is obsessed with American roadside attractions, Elsa hesitantly agrees. (citation)While on their way to see the deepest pit in the world, they stop at a diner and meet a young woman named Dot who is twenty-one. During their adventure Trevor and Dot end up having romantic feelings for each other, which leads to a kiss initiated by Dot as she says goodbye and promises to keep in touch. Ben quits as Trevor’s caregiver but the two stay very close friends. The movie ends with Ben finishing his novel about Trevor, while saying that he went to go visit Trevor on his twenty-first birthday, seeing Trevor lying presumably dead on the floor with the caregiver crying next to him. However, Trevor was only faking and the caregiver quit
