The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and
existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline.”
Well, that clears
things up! The meaning of the word comes from the Greek words philo-meaning love and sophos-meaning wisdom.
For philosophy in nursing this can mean different things for different
nurses and their roles within the profession.
Philosophy talks about
behavior, composure, thinking concerning nature and the environment. This is
the affirmation of credence about nursing and declaration of worth in nursing
that are used bases for thought, reasoning, and response. The central core of
nursing is the nurse-patient relationship. I believe in provider-patient
therapeutic relationships. As a nurse, setting a calm environment for the
patient to heal both physically and mentally is essential.
My philosophy of
knowledge and perspective about nursing is beyond general and abstract
knowledge. Nursing is beyond caring for mind, body, and emotion. It extends
into passion and empathy. Empathy is the ability to feel what others are
passing through or placing oneself in the situation. Empathy is a crucial
element of therapeutic and supportive relationships. Nurses should care for
patients with humanity and offer patients the equivalent type of care they
would desire for their family members. Everyone around is essential and created
for a purpose. The human body consists of mind, body, emotion, and spirit, all
function together as one unit to control and stimulate the aspects of how we
interact with one another in the community.
A living organism
(individual) can reason to live with others in the society open with free will,
quality of life, adaptation, and usually responsibility for their behavior.
Human in every situation is open, have a free choose denotation each
circumstance, also accountable for the outcome.
“The human is unitary,
continuously co-constituting patterns of relating.” “Able to reason with others
in society.” Human is designed to function better together. (Bhatti, 2017).
Social exclusion results in poor meaningful life. The statement “I feel your
pain” has been described as a strong emphasis on feeling the pain of others.
This bridge gaps and fill an emptiness vacuum that loneliness or depression
might have created.
Nursing:
The act of saving and
improving lives with compassion and empathy. Act of front-line member of the
health care delivery team with direct contact with the care receiver. Nursing
includes caring, respect, meeting needs, helping the patient to cope.
Wiedenbach’s Helping Art of Clinical Nursing, “A patient’s need for help is
defined as a measure desired by the patient that can potentially restore or
extend the patient’s ability to cope with situations that affect health.”
Modeling and Role Modeling Theory, care for and nurture each patient with an
awareness of and respect for the individual patient’s uniqueness. This
exemplifies theory-based clinical practice that focuses on the patient’s
needs.”
Nurses most a time have
to lay aside their worries to focus on the patient, thereby creating a balance
between personal and professional responsibilities. Textbook refers to this as
taking care of oneself physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually is
required to be productive. Hospitals, facilities, and clinics also ensure
better job satisfaction for the healthcare provider to fully concentrate on
healing. Healthcare workers need to lay aside any distractions outside the
workplace to focus on their patients. While at work, to spend quality time and
give necessary care, patient needs should be the highest priority.
Health:
Good health goes beyond
the absence of disease, a state of divine healing. It is a state of being
comfortable and secure physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially. Health
can be well connected to basic needs in life being met. Modeling and Role
Modeling Theory, “Basic needs, which drive behavior. Basic needs are only met
when the patient perceives they are met.” Human capacity is in his health and
well-being. Full capacity can be obtained through a good relationship. Helen,
in “The Science of Empathy,” says, “Self-empathy and other empathy lead to
replenishment and renewal of vital human capacity.
Environment:
A surrounding world where humans, animals, plants, living, and non-living organisms can survive.The Modeling and Role Modeling Theory, “all people have an instinctual drive to be accepted and dependent on support systems throughout life, while also maintaining a sense of independence and freedom.” I will also call it an ecological community. “Able to reason with others in society.” Human is created and design to leave in a society and interact.
Relationship:
Every human needs a caring environment where basic needs are met. Humans are obligated to create a healthy living environment. The nursing professional focuses on identifying different issues in the domain that can have an impact on the health and well-being of those in the environment. Pender’s Model Theory, “Individuals, in all their bio-psychosocial complexity, interact with the environment, progressively transforming the environment as well as being transformed over time.” Creating a positive motivation and caring passion in the immediate environment; healthy people produce a healthy environment.
Compassionate worlds can strengthen individuals, build community, and create a strong bond. With kind-heart, influence people and showing concern for others. The act of caring is powerful as it creates deeper bonds between caregivers and patients. Continuous habit creates a continuous improvement and excellence. The findings from the Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences reveal that “the development of a compassionate self and the ability to be sensitive, nonjudgmental and respectful towards oneself contributes to a compassionate approach towards others.” Healthcare must win a trust from the patient; this can be accomplished with a quality improvement care. Caring involve using a therapeutic means to help patients deal with their past and/or present trauma. Patient can become anger; it is natural to feel angry and disappointed based on what they are going through. At this point, patients’ needs emotional, physical, and medical support.
Collaboration and cooperation with patient,
family, and provider are crucial to client situations. Compassionate care
creates memories of an event for the patient; this is something they will not
forget. Empathy is a vital tool in building trust and connection with patients
by concentrating on their point of view. This allows the nurse to understand
their experience and coping level. Recent research in mental health show's that
empathy plays a vital role in health outcomes. As initially mentioned in this
paper that nurses must “lay aside their worries” to find a balance between
their personal and professional responsibilities. My vision is to offer the
best possible care to all patients of all cultures and backgrounds regardless
of their financial situation, family.
Challenges, social stature, lifestyle choices, or spiritual beliefs. Understanding the patient’s cultural background, belief, and preference can positively affect the care we deliver. The quality of care should be the same across cultures, character, gender, ethnicity, geographic location, socioeconomic. A provider should provide care that is both respectful of and responsible to individual patients. This is both challenging and opportunity as nurses require to deliver culturally competent service. They must have the ability to identify differences in demographics, beliefs, norms, practices, and desires for medical care and consider their perspectives during care delivery. This is an essential component of excellence in health care delivery and can put an end to racial and ethnic health inequality.
Hildegard Peplau is
called the “mother of psychiatric nursing.” Her scope and psychiatric nursing
specialty and had a strong effect on my nursing profession and practice. She is
a true pioneer in developing the theory and practice of psychiatric and mental
health nursing. Peplau’s idea, which involves therapeutic interventions,
provides simplicity regarding the nurse-patient relationship. This leads to
adaptability in any nurse-patient interaction, thus giving generalizability. We
can show respect through therapeutic communication asking patients about their
beliefs and preferred healthcare practice.
