Caring Practice Models - Lydia Hall's Theory of Care, Core, and Cure Nursing
- Hall's theory emphasizes achieving interpersonal relationships with patients.
- The main purpose of care is achieved through this relationship to support the development of the patient's core.
- The theory describes three aspects of nursing: care, the nurturing component; core, the patient-centered component; and cure, the medical and treatment component.
Application in Nursing Practice - Patient-centered Care
- Patient-centered care involves building strong relationships with patients, understanding needs, and enabling them to participate in their own care and recovery.
- Emotional support and recognizing other emotional factors during patient care is crucial for patients facing a chronic illness or adjusting to a new circumstance.
Application in Nursing Practice - Holistic Care
- Holistic care encompasses the patient's physical, emotional, and medical needs in treating ailments.
- This approach allows for comprehensive care that incorporates a multitude of patient-centered approaches when addressing the patient's physical, emotional and medical care needs.
Application in Nursing Practice - Collaboration with the Healthcare Team
- Nurses work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers to integrate the treatment aspects of nursing into holistic care.
- Effective teamwork is crucial when addressing end of life care needs, integrating supportive components of care, core components of emotional support, and treatment aspects of palliative care.

- This may include managing symptoms, providing emotional support, and facilitating emotional care for the patient and family.
Application in Nursing Practice - Madeline Leininger's Culture Care Diversity and Universality
- Leininger's theory states care is a core component of nursing's function, advocating a deep understanding of diversity and universality.
- Care is assistive, supportive, and enabling to improve human wellbeing.
- Nurses should understand patients' unique cultural backgrounds to provide holistic care.
Application in Nursing Practice - Communication
- Communication is vital in exchanging information, fears, concerns, and ideas. Improving communication skills, actively listening, using nonverbal cues, appropriate vocabulary, written/verbal communication, and following standard ethical guidelines improves patient outcomes. Nurses take a critical role in managing communication exchanges within health care settings. This includes communicating with colleagues and working in a collaborative environment.
- This includes various forms of communication practices such as patient teaching (including patient teach-back for increased comprehension), communication amongst health care workers (using verbal/written and nonverbal communications including cues, posture and tone), and also building trust and connections.
Application in Nursing Practice - Cultural Awareness
- Understanding and valuing the cultural backgrounds, beliefs, values and preferences of others are key practices in effective interactions; providing care to patients from a wide range of backgrounds.
- Understanding and respecting cultures helps nurses tailor care that is appropriate for individual patients and addresses their needs during an interaction.
Application in Nursing Practice - Personal Connections
- Making personal connections with patients improve outcomes, trust and overall well-being.
- Spend time with patients, engage in meaningful interactions, share facts about their lives, and listen with intent to create a better and more caring environment.
Application in Nursing Practice - Trust
- Trust is fundamental in healthcare settings and established through genuine communication through open and honest interactions and commitment through actions.
- Trust takes time to build, and healthcare professionals need to demonstrate their commitment and trustworthiness to create a caring and supportive environment for patients. Nurses need to be sensitive to patients' needs and concerns (and listen actively and take them seriously).
Application in Nursing Practice - Compassion
- Delivering compassionate care requires understanding and empathy. Nurses should put themselves in the patient's shoes to understand expectations and needs for optimal care. This promotes patient recovery and decreases anxieties.
Caring for Self (Maintaining Caring Practice)
- Caring for self includes nurturing oneself to maintain healthy habits that foster well-being. Examples include creating healthy lifestyle choices (proper nutrition, exercise, and recreational activities) and mind-body therapies (meditation and yoga). By doing this, nurses are able to more effectively care for patients and maintain a professional balance.
Communication in Nursing - Verbal Communication
- Verbal communication in healthcare environments is essential for clarity, accuracy, and honesty with patients.
- Communication should be tailored to the understanding level of the patient and use clear language.
- If a nurse is feeling emotional, their tone of voice and language can affect the patient, therefore the nurse must remain mindful of the patient-nurse interaction and the environment in the healthcare setting.
Communication in Nursing - Nonverbal Communications
- Nonverbal communication, including facial expressions, eye contact, body language, gestures, posture, and tone of voice, builds rapport with the patient and creates a comforting environment.
- Creating and maintaining eye contact and nodding the head to demonstrate attentiveness to what the patient says.
- Other appropriate nonverbal communications such as posture, tone and facial expression should be appropriate, attentive and respectful in a healthcare setting.
Communication in Nursing - Active Listening
- Active listening is crucial for effective communication, actively listening and attending to patient experiences.
- By nodding, maintaining eye contact, and using minimal verbal encouragement, nurses can convey understanding and commitment to their patients.
Communication in Nursing - Written Communication
- Written communication, including notes, medical records, and documentation, must be precise and accurate to ensure appropriate healthcare.
- Using simple language and maintaining accurate dates and times throughout the documentation is fundamental for correct and proper medical charting.
Communication in Nursing - Presentation Skills
- Effective presentation skills are essential for nurse-to-nurse and caregiver-to-caregiver communication, including patient handover/endorsement.
- These skills help nurses clearly convey knowledge and expertise in various workplace settings.
Communication in Nursing - Patient Education (Patient Teach-back)
- Patient teach-back strategies are valuable methods to test patient comprehension of information given; to ensure that information is understandable and can be effectively retained.
- Patients should be encouraged to repeat back information given for diagnosis, treatment plans, and procedures to test for their comprehension.
Communication in Nursing - Making Personal Connections
- Connecting with patients helps improve patient outcome; creating trustworthy relationships is important and demonstrates that nurses listen to their patients needs and feel comfortable in expressing concerns or feelings.
- This includes taking extra time to get to know patients and asking them about their lives and interests. This helps create more comfortable environments for the patient and creates trust between patients and nurses.
Communication in Nursing - Trust
- Healthcare professionals can inspire trust by listening attentively to patients' concerns, addressing these concerns seriously, conveying a sense of understanding and providing comfortable environments.
- Truthfulness, openness and admitting mistakes build trust and allows better patient outcomes.
Communication in Nursing - Cultural Awareness
- Cultural awareness is necessary in healthcare settings to recognize and acknowledge the many different cultures which patients may come from, especially in healthcare interactions.
- Nurses should use clear language, employ translators, and use patients' preferred names and pronouns.
Communication in Nursing - Compassion
