Study Notes
Pain Management in Older Adults
- Research indicates a gap between pain management needs and the information shared during consultations between patients and clinicians.
- Many older adults experience painful conditions, such as symptomatic osteoarthritis, that may not be visibly apparent.
- The question style of healthcare practitioners significantly affects the quality and quantity of diagnostic information obtained.
- Open-ended questions yield more diagnostic pain information from patients compared to closed-ended questions.
Philosophy and Science of Nursing
- Key philosophical questions in nursing include definitions of science, knowledge, and truth, as well as the methods for acquiring scientific knowledge.
- Epistemology focuses on the theory of knowledge in philosophical inquiry, influencing scientific activities and interpretations.
- Scientific activity has been explored for a shorter period compared to philosophy, with rationalism and empiricism as the leading philosophical foundations of modern science.
- Francis Bacon is credited with formalizing the empiricist approach, emphasizing the collection of facts before generalizing findings.
Nursing Theories
- Theories consist of interrelated concepts that offer a systematic perspective on phenomena that are explanatory and predictive.
- Concepts in theory include empirical, inferential, and abstract variations, essential for understanding phenomena in nursing.
- Models visually represent the interaction among concepts and are distinct from theories, although they are often confused as interchangeable terms.
Leininger’s Transcultural Nursing Theory
- Developed by Madeleine Leininger, this theory emphasizes understanding cultural differences in nursing and health practices.
- It aims to provide culturally congruent care that respects the beliefs and values of patients from diverse backgrounds.
- Significant aspects involve identifying cultural care universality and diversity, as well as professional versus folk care systems.
- The theory addresses nursing care decisions related to cultural preservation, accommodation, and restructuring.
Key Concepts of Transcultural Nursing
- Culturally incongruent nursing care can lead to stress, noncompliance, and ethical concerns in patients.
- Overcoming cultural barriers requires understanding and integrating cultural beliefs into nursing care, which can be resource-intensive and challenging.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Leininger’s Theory
- The Sunrise Model effectively demonstrates the relationships of concepts within the theory.
- The concepts are generalizable and applicable across various settings but can be complex and difficult to comprehend initially.
Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory
- Orem’s Nursing Process identifies self-care deficits and outlines roles for nurses to support self-care demands.
- Steps include assessment of health status, determining nursing necessity, designing a care plan, and implementing and evaluating care strategies.
- Key data areas include individual health status, perspectives from health providers, and the patient’s ability to engage in self-care.
Analysis of Orem's Theory
- Orem emphasizes self-care as crucial for maintaining health, providing coherence in nursing roles, and addressing individual needs.
- While discussing self-care dynamics, issues arise in applying this theory to patients needing complete assistance, such as infants and the elderly.
