Study Notes
Module 10: Growth and Development Part 1
- Module 10 focuses on growth and development, specifically from infancy to adolescence.
- Learning outcomes include identifying growth and development principles, exploring major developmental theories, describing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development across the lifespan, synthesizing health risks, and analyzing appropriate nursing interventions for different age groups.
Growth and Development
- Human growth and development are continuous, complex processes.
- Growth and development are based on timing and sequence of developmental tasks.
- Individuals progress through these phases at different rates.
- Understanding typical growth patterns aids in predicting, preventing, and detecting deviations from expected norms.
Physical Growth
- Physical growth is a quantifiable and measurable increase in physical dimensions.
- Indicators include height, weight, teeth, skeletal structures, and sexual characteristics.
- Genetic factors are not the sole determinants; socioeconomic status and other contextual factors influence growth.
Development
- Development is a continuous, progressive process leading to increased skills and capacity for function.
- It results from the interplay between biological and environmental influences.
- Development demonstrates predictable characteristics, progressing from simple to complex, and general to specific.
The Great Debate: Nature vs. Nurture
- The nature vs. nurture debate explores the relative contributions of genetics (nature) and environment (nurture) in shaping development.
Factors Influencing Growth and Development
- Genetic/natural factors (heredity and temperament)
- Environmental factors (family, peers, health environment, nutrition, sleep/exercise, living environment, political/policy environment)
- Interacting factors (life experiences, prenatal health, state of health)
Other Influencing Factors (Detailed Breakdown)
- Family: Genetics, dynamics, early attachment, sense of security
- Health Environment: Availability and accessibility of resources (healthcare, cost)
- Nutrition: Availability and quality of food
- Sleep and Exercise: Crucial for physical and mental health
- Living Environment: Climate, country (developed/developing), community life, socioeconomic status, air/water/housing quality
- Political Environment: Municipal, provincial, and federal policies, political unrest
- Life Experiences/Trauma: Past experiences and stressful events
- Prenatal Health: Maternal health, nutrition, substance use, prenatal services
- State of Health: Underlying health conditions
Traditions of Developmental Theories
- Theories are organized sets of statements about human development.
- Developmental theories act as frameworks to understand how and why people develop.
- Theories are helpful for nursing professionals to assess and treat patients' responses to illness.
Developmental Theories
- Developmental theories are categorized into five broad traditions: Organicism, Psychoanalytic/Psychosocial, Mechanistic, Contextualism, and Dialecticism.
- This course focuses on Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development, and Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development.
Developmental Theories and Nursing
- No single theory encompasses all aspects of growth and development.
- Nurses consider development within the context of families, social relationships, communities, and society.
- Theories aid in understanding and utilizing critical thinking related to how and why individuals respond to situations.
Cognitive Developmental Theories
- Cognitive theories center on reasoning and thought processes.
- These processes are intertwined with how individuals learn and understand the world.
- Mental processes such as perceiving, reasoning, remembering, and believing affect their emotional behaviors.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
- Piaget's theory addresses how children organize their intellectual understanding of the world.
- This understanding of the world involves thinking, reasoning, perceiving, and making meaning.
- Piaget outlined four stages of development: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operations, and Formal Operations. -Each stage reflects different cognitive abilities.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Developmen (details)
- Sensorimotor: (Birth to 2 years) Infants develop patterns to understand the environment, including object permanence
- Preoperational: (2-7 years) Symbolic thought develops (use of language), but children struggle with logic and abstract reasoning
- Concrete Operations: (7-11 years) Logic and concrete reasoning emerge. Understanding of conservation and reversibility develops.
- Formal Operations: (11 years to adulthood) Abstract thinking and problem-solving skills develop.
Piaget's Theory: Nursing Implications
- Support patients adapting to new health challenges.
- Provide information and support.
- Offer positive feedback for successes.
Moral Developmental Theories
- These theories are a subset of cognitive theory.
- They describe the development of moral reasoning.
- Moral reasoning involves how people think about ethical or moral conduct, but doesn't always predict actions.
- Developing a sense of right and wrong is based on moral values.
Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development
- Kohlberg's theory focuses on how people develop their sense of morality.
- Levels and stages of moral development are attained at various ages.
- Preconventional level
- Conventional level -Postconventional level
Psychosocial Developmental Theories
- Theories in the psychoanalytic and psychosocial tradition focus on the development of personality, thinking, behavior, emotions, and mental health.
- Emphasize the interplay between internal biological forces and external societal and cultural forces.
Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development
- Erikson's theory outlines eight stages, which span the entire life cycle.
- Each stage involves a unique developmental task and crisis that must be resolved for healthy development. -Stages 1-8 detail the developmental stages.
Erikson's Developmental Theory (Detailed Stages):
-Detail for stages 1 through 5 is included within the text.
Erikson's Theory: Nursing Implications
- The quality of early experiences is crucial for development.
- Environments with violence can lead to poor intimate relationships.
- Nurses must create supportive environments emphasizing trust and open communication.
- Trauma-informed care is needed when dealing with vulnerable children.
Developmental Age Periods: Infancy to Adolescence
- Prenatal: Conception to birth
- Infancy: Birth to 12-18 months (physical/cognitive/Psychosocial changes, Play)
- Early Childhood: 1-6 years (physical/cognitive/Psychosocial changes, Play)
- Middle Childhood: 6-12 years (physical/cognitive/Psychosocial changes)
- Adolescence: 12-19 years (physical/cognitive/Psychosocial changes)
Selecting a Developmental Framework for Nursing
- This framework helps nurses create organized, systematic care plans, tailored to a patient’s specific stage of development and family needs.
- It promotes culturally safe, ethical, and evidence-based care.
Health Risks across Developmental Stages
Details specific risks and concerns across the stages are provided (Infant, Toddler, Preschooler, School-age and Adolescent).
Building Healthy Habits Early
- Focuses on developing healthy habits early in life (nutrition/physical activity/sleep/literacy/oral health/immunizations/digital media and use of screens).
Importance of Play
- Play is crucial for children's well-being and development.
- It reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, promotes freedom of expression, and fosters safety and security.
Technology and Learning/Technology and Socialization
- The role of technology in learning and socialization is highlighted.
Self-Concept and Self-Identity
- The impact of self-concept and self-identity are discussed.
Care in Hospital
- Methods for minimizing trauma and promoting family-centered care during hospitalizations are outlined.
