Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy01:24

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert Ellis's...
Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...
Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...
Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a bonus...
Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Professional Ethics
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK mandates "good character" for registered nurses and midwives.
  • Existing frameworks for assessing professional character in healthcare education require further development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conceptualize "good character" within a UK higher education institution for nursing and midwifery students.
  • To present and evaluate a "values based enquiry" model for developing student character.
  • To explore the role of intrinsic professional values in shaping "good character".

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of "good character" in professional nursing and midwifery education.
  • Development and presentation of a "values based enquiry" model.
  • Identification of three core qualities: "the heart", "the nerve", and "the brain".

Main Results:

  • A model of "values based enquiry" was developed to foster "good character" in students.
  • The model emphasizes the development of intrinsic professional values, including care and compassion.
  • Three key qualities – "the heart", "the nerve", and "the brain" – are proposed as foundational to values-based practice.

Conclusions:

  • The "values based enquiry" model offers a framework for professional education that can cultivate "good character".
  • Developing intrinsic values like care and compassion is crucial for nurturing the "habits of mind" necessary for good character in nursing and midwifery.
  • This model provides a shared vision for educators and students, enhancing learning and teaching based on established educational principles.
