The existence of the suffering whether physical, mental or spiritual is the proper concern of the nurse.” – Joyce Travelbee ABOUT JOYCE TRAVELBEE (1926–1973) A psychiatric nurse, educator, and writer. 1956, she completed her BSN degree at Louisiana State University. 1959, she completed her Master of Science Degree in Nursing at Yale University. 1952, Psychiatric Nursing Instructor at Depaul Hospital Affiliate School, New Orleans.

Travelbee died at age 47. -Human-to-Human Relationship Model -Extended the interpersonal relationship of Peplau and Orlando PROPOSITIONS -the goal of nursing was to assist an individual, family, or community to prevent or cope with the experiences of illness and suffering, and if necessary, to find meaning in these experiences, with the ultimate goal being the presence of hope Nursing was accomplished through human-to-human relationships 5 interactional phases of Travelbee’s model are in consecutive order and developmentally achieved by the nurse and the patient as their relationship with each other goes deeper and more therapeutic. - 1.Phase of the Original Encounter 2.Phase of Emerging Identities 3.Phase of Empathy: 4.Phase of Sympathy 5.Phase of Rapport: The original encounter and progressed through stages of -Emerging identities -Developing feelings of empathy and later -Sympathy until -The nurse and the patient attained rapport in the final stage 1. PHASE OF THE ORIGINAL ENCOUNTER Emotional knowledge colors impressions and perceptions of both nurse and patient during initial encounters. The task is “to break the bond of categorization in order to perceive the human being in the patient” and vice versa. Patients are the same human beings as us and families; only, that they need other human beings specifically nurses and doctors for maintaining health 2. PHASE OF EMERGING IDENTITIES - This phase is described by the nurse and patient perceiving each other as unique individuals. At this time, the link of relationship begins to form. - Tasks in the second phase (visibility of personal or emerging identities) include separating oneself and one’s experiences from others AND recognizing the differing qualities that each possess, transcending roles by separating self and experiences from one another – not using oneself to judge others. 3. PHASE OF EMPATHY This phase involves sharing another’s psychological state but standing apart and not sharing feelings. It is characterized “by the ability to predict the behavior of another”. 4. PHASE OF SYMPATHY: Sharing, feeling and experiencing what others are feeling and experiencing is accomplished. This phase demonstrates emotional involvement and discredits objectivity as dehumanizing. The task of the nurse is to translate sympathy into helpful nursing actions Sympathy happens when the nurse wants to lessen the cause of the patient’s suffering > It goes beyond empathy. “When one sympathizes, one is involved but not incapacitated by the involvement.” The nurse should use a disciplined intellectual approach together with therapeutic use of self to make helpful nursing actions. 5. PHASE OF RAPPORT: Rapport is described as nursing interventions that lessens the patient’s suffering. The nurse and the sick person are relating as human being to human being. The sick person shows trust and confidence in the nurse. “ A nurse is able to establish rapport because she possesses the necessary knowledge and skills required to assist ill persons, and because she is able to perceive, respond to, and appreciate the uniqueness of the ill human being.” Emphasis on: -recognizing identities -empathy -sympathy -rapport -emotional aspects of nursing Empathy - the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Sympathy - the feeling of sadness for other people or the act of expressing such feelings or identifying with a person or an idea. Rapport - a close and harmonious relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well. Was explicit about the patient’s and the nurse’s spirituality; that the spiritual values of a person will determine his perception of illness https://slideplayer.com/slide/394191 7/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= WUwENiZQSFY Thank you class.
