Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice01:30

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

17.6K
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

865
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

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

56.1K
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...

The Bohr Model

Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

Summary

Believing involves brain functions creating probabilistic representations called beliefs. These beliefs guide behavior but can change due to new information, social factors, or situational demands.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuroscience of Belief Formation

Background:

  • Beliefs are fundamental probabilistic representations generated by brain functions.
  • Beliefs guide individual and social behavior but are dynamic.
  • Beliefs can be influenced by new information, social interactions, and context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the mental processes underlying belief and believing.
  • To present a theoretical model of belief formation.
  • To account for both empirical and metaphysical beliefs.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling approach.
  • Integration of cognitive neuroscience findings.
  • Analysis of factors influencing belief stability and change.

Main Results:

  • Believing is rooted in fundamental brain functions.
  • Beliefs are probabilistic representations.
  • A theoretical model is proposed to explain belief formation.

Conclusions:

  • Beliefs are essential for behavior guidance.
  • Beliefs are malleable and subject to various influences.
  • The proposed model explains diverse belief types, from empirical to metaphysical.
