    Study Notes

    Humanistic Nursing Theory

    • Founded by Josephine G. Paterson and Loretta T. Zderad.
    • Focuses on the nurse's ability to connect with patients on a personal level, as well as a medical and scientific level.
    • Key principles include Humanism, Existentialism, and Nursing Dialogue.

    Humanism

    • Aims to understand individuals within the context of their experiences.

    Existentialism

    • A philosophical approach that emphasizes individual free will, self-determination, and responsibility.
    • Focuses on the importance of the individual's lived experiences.

    Nursing Dialogue

    • A collaborative process where the nurse presents themself as a helper, ready to listen to and understand the patient's feelings.
    • Openness is crucial for successful nursing dialogue.

    Humanistic Nursing Core Concepts

    • All-at-once: Each person is unique while also sharing common human traits.
    • Gestalt: Nurses and patients each possess their own unique 'wholeness' or sense of self.
    • Experience and education: Nurses should be aware of their own experiences and education, and also consider the patient's perspectives.

    Assumptions of Humanistic Nursing Theory

    • Each person is unique and all experiences are different.
    • Nursing care should strive for wholeness, acknowledging the differences and similarities in 'gestalts' between the nurse and patient.

    Metaparadigm Concepts

    • Person: Viewed as an 'open energy field' with unique experiences. They are more than the sum of their parts and cannot be predicted.
    • Health: Not simply the absence of disease, but a resource for individuals to reach their full potential.
    • Environment: The time and space where nursing experiences occur, including both the physical space and the societal environment.
    • Nursing: A lived experience between nurse and patient, characterized by dialogue and a helping relationship.

    The Five Phases of the Nursing Process

    • Preparation of the Nurse: The nurse acts as an open-minded investigator willing to take risks and learn.
    • Nurse Knowing the Other Intuitively: The nurse attempts to understand the patient through a 'I-thou' relationship, where the nurse focuses on the patient's unique needs.
    • Nurse Knowing the Other Scientifically: The nurse observes and analyzes the patient, using reasoning and logic to understand their condition.
    • Nurse Complementarily Synthesizing Known Others: The nurse uses their knowledge to develop a plan of care and address any challenges.
    • Succession within the Nurse from the Many to the Paradoxical One: The nurse applies their knowledge in the clinical setting, working towards resolution of the patient's challenges.
