Study Notes
Theoretical Perspectives on Human Development
- Human development can be understood through three main theoretical perspectives: Environmentalism, Organismic Perspective, and Psychoanalytic Perspective.
- Environmentalism posits that individuals grow based on their environmental influences.
- Organismic Perspective emphasizes internal factors, suggesting that development is shaped by self-directed growth and includes theories like Naturalism, Cognitive Development, Humanism, Moral Development, and Maturationism.
Key Theorists and Their Contributions
- Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict highlighted the role of cultural values in child-rearing and adult characteristics, emphasizing experiential factors in development.
- John Locke’s British Empiricism theorizes that the mind is a "blank slate" at birth; knowledge is acquired through sensory experience.
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Naturalism argues that children are inherently good, corrupted only by societal evils.
Systems Theory
- Systems theory requires a system to adapt, make decisions, and integrate its parts to achieve a steady state of input-output exchanges.
- Key processes include adaptation, decision-making about resource allocation, feedback mechanisms to maintain balance (negentropy), and equifinality, where different initial states lead to the same outcome.
- Initially proposed by Hall & Weaver, systems process involves elements like input, process, output, and feedback.
Change Theories in Nursing Practice
- Kurt Lewin's Change Theory outlines three stages: Unfreezing (recognizing the need for change), Movement (implementing the change), and Refreezing (stabilizing the new state).
- Ronald Lippitt identified eight phases of the change process, emphasizing establishing a need for change and generalizing successful adaptations.
Learning Theories
- Bandura’s Social Learning Theory focuses on learning through observation and modeling.
- Health Belief Model explains how beliefs influence health behaviors.
- Knowles’ Adult Learning Theory emphasizes the distinct characteristics of adult learning.
Non-Verbal Communication
- Communication can be conveyed without words through facial expressions, gestures, and body language.
- Proxemics studies personal space and how individuals maintain distance based on social contexts.
Crisis Intervention Theories
- Caplan’s Crisis Intervention Theory assesses individual capacity to handle stress while maintaining equilibrium during crises.
- Four types of emotional crises include dispositional, anticipated life transition, traumatic stress, and crises that arise from problematic situations.
- The focus of crisis intervention is to reinforce strengths and encourage independence.
Key Concepts of Personal Space
- Personal preferences, relationships, topics of discussion, cultural backgrounds, and communication context influence personal space.
- Different types of territories include public (open space), interactional (reserved space), and home (personal living space).
Expanded Crisis Theory
- Caplan’s Extended Crisis Theory emphasizes three areas for assessment: stress tolerance, reality recognition in problem-solving, and coping mechanisms.
- Types of crises are categorized based on their origins and the need for directed interventions.
