Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
Data Collection II01:29

Data Collection II

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and family,...
Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of data...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...
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.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

    Summary

    Understanding patient illness experiences, not just diseases, improves care. A patient-centered approach focusing on patient perspectives enhances satisfaction, compliance, and health outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Sociology
    • Patient-Centered Care
    • Qualitative Research Methods

    Background:

    • Conventional medical models effectively diagnose diseases but often overlook patients' personal experiences of illness.
    • Understanding the patient's subjective experience of illness is crucial for comprehensive healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and advocate for a patient-centered approach to understanding illness experiences.
    • To highlight the key dimensions of patient illness experiences that require attention.

    Main Methods:

    • Focusing on four principal dimensions of patient experiences: ideas about what is wrong, feelings and fears, impact on functioning, and expectations.
    • Paying close attention to patient cues related to these dimensions.
    • Adopting a perspective that seeks to understand the patient's experience from their own point of view.
