Study Notes
Non-Nursing Theories
- Knowledge is a shared resource, and nursing benefits from incorporating concepts and theories from other disciplines
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Maslow was an American psychologist who studied human motivation.
- People are driven to fulfill a hierarchy of needs, starting with basic physiological needs and culminating in self-transcendence.
Hierarchy of Needs:
- Physiological Needs: Essential for survival (e.g., food, water, shelter, sleep).
- Safety Needs: Security and protection from harm (e.g., stability, freedom from fear).
- Love and Belongingness Needs: Connection, affection, and belonging to a group.
- Self-Esteem Needs: Confidence, recognition, and a sense of achievement.
- Cognitive Needs: Desire for knowledge, understanding, and meaning.
- Aesthetic Needs: Appreciation and search for beauty, balance, and form.
- Self-Actualization Needs: Realizing one's full potential and pursuing personal growth (less than 2% of the population achieve this).
- Self-Transcendence Needs: Focusing on goals beyond personal gain, often involving spirituality or helping others achieve self-actualization.
Common Traits of Self-Transcendence:
- Finding meaning in life.
- Contributing to the world.
- Appreciating beauty.
- Prioritizing the well-being of others.
- Motivated by values.
- Experiencing elevated emotions.
- Moral concern for others.
Self-Transcendence in Nursing:
- Provides encouragement and inspiration for patients seeking wellness.
- Motivates and gives purpose to nurses as caregivers.
Concepts of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:
- Basic needs must be met before higher needs can be pursued.
- Individuals tend to move upward through the hierarchy as lower needs are fulfilled.
- If a lower need is unmet, individuals may regress to focus on satisfying that need.
Characteristics of Human Needs:
- Universal: Everyone must meet these needs.
- Deferred: Prioritization based on urgency (e.g., allowing a dehydrated patient to drink water despite not needing food pre-surgery).
- Met in Different Ways: Cultural and individual variations in satisfying needs (e.g., dietary restrictions).
- Interrelated: One need can influence another (e.g., financial crisis disrupting family relationships).
- Unmet Needs Lead to Problems: Unsatisfied needs can contribute to illness or dysfunction (e.g., inadequate food intake leading to malnutrition).
Prioritizing Needs:
- Individuals with fundamental needs unmet (e.g., those in poverty or war zones) are given priority.
Applying Maslow's Hierarchy in Nursing:
- Prioritization of Care: Basic needs (e.g., breathing) are addressed first, followed by other patient needs.
- Understanding Behavior: Understanding why a client is behaving a certain way can provide clues to their unmet needs.
Carl Rogers' Person-Centered Theory
- Rogers was a humanistic psychologist who emphasized the importance of therapeutic relationships.
- He was the first to use the term "client" to describe someone seeking therapy.
Person-Centered Theory:
- Self-concept is central to personality, encompassing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about oneself.
- Alignment between self-perceived and others' perceptions of the self is crucial for self-actualization.
- The individual's will and ability to influence their recovery and desire to live.
Client-Centered Therapy Concepts:
- A form of talk therapy.
- Provides clients with opportunities to develop a sense of self, identify negative influences, and tap into their positive potential.
- People experience the world differently and have unique knowledge of their own experiences.
- Nurses should validate patients' feelings and observations without making assumptions about their perceptions.
Applying the Person-Centered Theory in Nursing:
- Client-Centered Approach: Empowering the client to actively participate in their healing process.
- Supportive Relationship: Nurses provide support and encouragement rather than directing or dictating care.
-
Promoting Self-Esteem: Nurses promote self-esteem through:
- Unconditional Positive Regard: Non-judgmental acceptance of the client.
- Genuineness: Honesty, sincerity, and authenticity in interactions.
- Empathic Understanding: Recognizing and conveying the client's feelings and perspectives.
Client-Centered Approach in Nursing:
- Person-centered care involves understanding the individual patient and their situation.
- It emphasizes responsiveness, meaningfulness, respect for values, preferences, and comfort promotion.
- Trusting relationships, freedom of choice, and family involvement are integral elements.
Importance of Knowing the Patient's Life Story:
- Understanding the story of the patient and their loved ones is crucial for providing person-centered care.
- By listening to their experiences, nurses gain insights into their aspirations and needs.
Ludwig von Bertalanffy's General Systems Theory
- Bertalanffy was an Austrian biologist who developed the General Systems Theory.
What is a System?
- A system comprises interconnected components or units within a boundary.
- The boundary regulates the flow of inputs and outputs.
- Humans are complex systems.
Elements of a System:
- Input: Resources, information, or energy received.
- Process: Transformation or processing of inputs.
- Output: Products, results or changes released.
- Feedback: Information about the system's performance, which can be positive (enhancing), negative (corrective), or neutral.
Concepts of General Systems Theory:
- Open Systems: Continuously interact with the environment, adapt, and maintain order.
- Closed Systems: Do not interact with the environment and tend towards disorder and decline.
- Simple Systems: Have fewer components and a straightforward structure (e.g., gas exchange in the lungs).
- Complex Systems: Have many interconnected components and a more intricate structure.
Examples of Systems:
- Human Body and Its Subsystems: Biological and social systems interact within the individual.
- Communication Process: The flow of information between individuals.
- Interpersonal Systems: Interactions and relationships between people.
Types of Input-Output Processes:
- Matter to Matter: Transforming raw materials into a finished product.
- Matter to Energy: Converting matter into energy.
- Matter to Information: Extracting information from matter.
- Energy to Matter: Using energy to create or modify matter.
General Systems Theory in Nursing:
- Emphasizes the interconnectedness of parts within a system.
- Supports a holistic approach to patient care, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and social factors.
