Study Notes
Module 10: Growth and Development Part 1
- Module focuses on the principles of growth and development, exploring key theories.
- Learning outcomes include identifying growth and development principles, exploring developmental theories, describing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development from infancy to adolescence, synthesizing health risks, and analyzing appropriate nursing interventions.
- Human growth and development is continuous, intricate, and complex, with a highly individualized rate.
- Understanding typical growth patterns helps nurses predict, prevent, and detect deviations.
Physical Growth
- Growth is a quantitative and measurable increase in physical characteristics like height, weight, teeth, skeletal structures, and sexual characteristics.
- Growth is influenced by genetics and contextual factors like socioeconomic status.
Development
- Development is a progressive and continuous process leading to increased skills and capacity to function resulting from complex interactions between biological and environmental influences.
- Development is qualitative and difficult to measure but exhibits predictable characteristics, progressing from simple to complex and general to specific.
The Great Debate
- NATURE: Are we products of our genes?
- NURTURE: Are we products of our environments?
Factors Influencing Growth and Development
- Three major categories influence development:
- Genetic or natural factors (heredity, temperament)
- Environmental factors (family, peer groups, health environment, nutrition, rest/sleep/exercise, living environment, political and policy environment)
- Interacting factors (life experiences, prenatal health, state of health)
Other Influencing Factors
- Factors such as family dynamics, health environment (resources, healthcare access), nutrition, sleep/exercise, living environment (climate, socioeconomic status, etc.), political environment (policies, unrest/war), life experiences/trauma, and underlying health conditions significantly influence growth and development.
Traditions of Developmental Theories
- A theory is a structured, often observable, logical set of statements about a subject.
- Developmental theories act as models explaining how and why people develop.
- These theories guide nurses in assessing and treating patients' responses to illness.
Developmental Theories
- Developmental theories are grouped into five traditions: Organicism, Psychoanalytic/Psychosocial, Mechanistic, Contextualism, and Dialecticism.
- This module focuses on Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development, and Kohlberg's stages of moral development.
Developmental Theories and Nursing
- No single theory encompasses all aspects of growth and development.
- Nurses must consider developmental factors within families, social relationships, communities, and the larger society.
- Developmental theories enable nurses to employ critical thinking regarding how and why people respond to situations.
Cognitive Developmental Theories
- Focuses on reasoning and thinking processes, including how intellectual operations change.
- Explains the ways people learn, understand, and navigate the world.
- Considers mental processes like perceiving, reasoning, remembering, and believing, which influence emotional behavior.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
- Addresses the intellectual organization in children and how they perceive, think, reason, and make meaning of the world.
- Consists of four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
- Different stages represent different levels of cognitive capacity.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development (Details)
- Sensorimotor (birth to two years): knowledge gained through sensory experiences and manipulating objects.
- Preoperational (two to seven years): using symbols and mental images, initial non-verbal communication.
- Concrete operational (seven to eleven years): mental operations about actions and others.
- Formal operational (eleven years to adulthood): abstract and theoretical thoughts, reasoning.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development (Nursing Implications)
- Support patients adapting to challenges by providing information and facilitating their adjustment.
- Offer positive feedback when patients successfully adapt to their challenges.
Moral Developmental Theories
- A subset of cognitive theory, focusing on moral reasoning.
- Describes how people think about moral conduct.
Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development
- A child’s moral development is linked to their cognitive maturity.
- Moral development contains levels/stages not specifically tied to a particular age.
- Stages include preconventional, conventional, and postconventional.
Psychosocial Developmental Theories
- Describes personality, thinking, behavior, emotions, mental health.
- Thought to be influenced by internal biological and external societal/cultural forces.
Erikson's Theory of Eight Stages of Life
- A psychosocial model covering the entire lifespan.
- Development occurs in eight stages with each building upon the prior stages.
- Stages include trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame and doubt, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and integrity vs. despair.
Erikson's Developmental Theory (Stage Details)
- Trust vs. Mistrust (birth to 1 year): builds trust through consistent caregiving.
- Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1 to 3 years): developing independence and self-confidence.
- Initiative vs. Guilt (3 to 6 years): initiating activities, using imagination, exploring.
- Industry vs. Inferiority (6 to 11 years): developing a sense of competence.
- Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence): forming a unique identity.
Erikson's Developmental Theory (Nursing Implications)
- The quality of early experiences influences development.
- Nurses need to address issues of trust, independence, and competence.
- Foster support systems for vulnerable children.
Infancy to Adolescence
- Developmental age periods include prenatal, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.
- Specific age ranges are provided for each developmental period.
Selecting a Developmental Framework for Nursing
- Provides an organized approach to care planning, considering the needs of the child and family.
Infant: (1 month to 1 year)
- Physical, cognitive, psychosocial changes
- Separation and play.
- Health risks: SIDS, accidents, bodily damage, etc.
Toddler: (12 to 36 months)
- Physical changes (Gross Motor & Fine Motor Skills)
- Cognitive changes (Object permanence, Preoperational thought)
- Psychosocial changes (autonomy)
- Health risks: Falls, poisoning, drowning.
Preschooler: (3 to 5 years)
- Physical changes (Gross Motor & Fine motor skills)
- Cognitive changes (Artificialism, Animism)
- Psychosocial changes (play)
School-Age Child: (5 to 12 years)
- Physical changes (puberty)
- Cognitive changes (concrete operations)
- Psychosocial changes (moral development, peer relationships)
- Health risks: accidents, illness, falls.
Adolescent: (12-19 years)
- Physical changes (puberty)
- Cognitive changes (formal operations)
- Psychosocial changes (gender identity, group identity, vocational identity)
- Health concerns: injuries, mental health, suicide
Building Healthy habits Early
- Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, literacy, oral health, immunizations, digital media, are addressed
The Importance of Play
- Play as a stress reducer, alleviates anxieties, fosters growth and development.
- Play allows children to act freely, fostering a sense of safety and security.
Technology & Socialization
- Social media is a key aspect of technology and learning
Self-concept and Self-identity
Care in Hospital
- Minimizing separation from family.
- Minimizing trauma of hospitalization.
- Use of child-life specialists.
