Study Notes
Florence Nightingale
- Established the first nursing philosophy (Nursing Theory) focused on health maintenance and restoration
- Developed the Environmental Theory, which aims to improve a patient's environment through ventilation, light, reduced noise, hygiene, and nutrition
- Organized the first program for training nurses
- Was a pioneering epidemiologist
- Improved sanitation in battlefield hospitals, and her practices remain essential in nursing today
Traditional Levels of Health Care
- Include preventative, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing health care
- Aim to promote a society where all people live long, healthy lives
- Identify leading health indicators, which are high-priority health issues in the United States
- Help understand the interrelationships of human needs, with basic needs (e.g., physiological) needing to be met before higher needs (e.g., love and belonging)
- Self-actualization is the highest expression of individual potential, allowing for continual self-discovery
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Considers individual experiences, which are unique to each person
- Posits that certain human needs are more basic than others, and some needs must be met before others
Evidence-Based Practice
- Step 0 involves asking questions and challenging the paradigm to make changes happen
- It's essential to use the hierarchy of evidence, with systematic reviews and meta-analyses at the top, providing the most rigorous summaries of current evidence
- These summaries are perfect for answering PICOT questions, as they rigorously summarize current evidence about a specific topic or intervention
- Quantitative studies require different data collection methods, such as compiling numerical data
