Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch01:15

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.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...

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,...
Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Professional Socialisation
  • Healthcare Psychology

Background:

  • Professional development for student nurses involves internalizing nursing values and behaviors.
  • Compassion is a core nursing tenet, yet it presents significant emotional challenges for students.
  • Understanding student nurse socialization into compassionate practice is crucial for effective training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the process of socialisation in compassionate practice among student nurses.
  • To identify student nurses' concerns regarding compassionate practice and their management strategies.
  • To investigate how emotional well-being influences student nurses' engagement in compassionate behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Grounded theory methodology was employed.
  • In-depth interviews were conducted with 19 student nurses in Northern England (2009-2010).
  • Data analysis focused on identifying emergent themes and a core category.

Main Results:

  • Student nurses experience emotional vulnerability and uncertainty about the demands of compassionate practice.
  • A core category of 'balancing future intentions' emerged, describing how students manage emotional well-being.
  • Students adjusted their engagement with compassionate practice based on its perceived emotional impact.

Conclusions:

  • Student nurses' socialisation into compassionate practice involves managing emotional vulnerability through intention balancing.
  • Concepts like emotional labour and moral distress are relevant to student nurses' experiences.
  • Developing courage, resilience, and self-compassion can foster sustainable compassionate practice in student nurses.
