Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Ethical Standards I01:25

Ethical Standards I

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Consumer Behavior
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Everyday shopping is increasingly framed as a site for ethical decision-making.
  • Existing research details how 'ethics' and 'consumption' are mediated.
  • Understanding the practicalities of ethical consumption is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how ethical consumption opportunities are recognized, experienced, and adopted in daily life.
  • To investigate the complex and uneven ways individuals negotiate ethical agency through consumption.
  • To avoid overstating the self-consciousness of ethical consumers and simplistic views of ethical self-expression.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a specially commissioned Mass Observation directive with UK volunteer correspondents.
  • Conducted an on-going thematic analysis of autobiographical accounts from correspondents.
  • Focused on the 'everyday' context of consumer practices.

Main Results:

  • Identified a complex unevenness in how 'ordinary' people engage with ethical consumption.
  • Revealed varied experiences and negotiations of ethical choices in everyday shopping.
  • Demonstrated that ethical agency in consumption is not always self-conscious or straightforward.

Conclusions:

  • Ethical consumption is experienced and enacted in nuanced ways within daily routines.
  • A situated understanding of ethical consumption, moral obligation, and choice is necessary.
  • Avoids reductive interpretations of consumer ethics and self-expression.
