Professional Values

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...

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Trigonometric Identities II

Trigonometric Identities II

Double-angle and half-angle trigonometric identities are derived from the fundamental sum and difference formulas and serve as essential tools for simplifying expressions, solving equations, and evaluating integrals. These identities reduce the complexity of trigonometric functions by relating functions of a multiple or fractional angle to functions of a single angle. Their applications extend across mathematics, physics, and engineering, particularly in Fourier analysis, wave mechanics, and...

Personal Identity

Personal Identity

Personal identity is the deeply felt sense of self that individuals cultivate over time, intricately woven from intrinsic qualities they consider essential to their existence—qualities such as morality, intelligence, and friendliness. These attributes serve as vital internal benchmarks, guiding individuals in evaluating whether their actions resonate with their true selves.When personal identity takes center stage in one's life, individuals often emphasize their distinctiveness,...

Social Identity

Social Identity

Social identity constitutes a significant aspect of an individual’s self-concept, shaped by membership in various social groups, including gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and political affiliation. Individuals associate specific traits with particular social groups, leading to internalization of these traits. For example, musicians are often perceived as creative, while women are frequently associated with nurturing tendencies. Once individuals identify with a...

Trigonometric Identities I

Trigonometric Identities I

Trigonometric identities are equations that relate trigonometric functions and hold for all angles within their domains. A fundamental identity among these is the Pythagorean identity, which arises directly from the geometry of the unit circle. For any angle θ, a point on the unit circle has coordinates (cos⁡ θ, sin ⁡θ), and since the radius of the circle is one, the Pythagorean Theorem gives:This identity serves as the basis for deriving additional identities.

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Professional Identity Studies
Integrated Care Models

Background:

Integrated care is crucial for health and social care reforms in the UK and globally.
New working models in integrated teams necessitate understanding how professionals manage their professional identity (PI).
Limited research exists on how diverse professions navigate PI within integrated healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore how health and social care professionals manage and mobilize their PI within integrated teams.
To identify factors influencing PI in integrated care settings.
To provide insights for effective PI management in collaborative healthcare.

Main Methods:

Qualitative cross-sectional study design.
Eight focus groups conducted with community-based health and social care practitioners in Wales, UK.
Data collected in 2017.

Main Results:

Key factors influencing integrated practice were communication, goal congruence, and training.
Characteristics of PI enabling integrated working included open-mindedness, professional trust, scope of practice, and uniqueness.
Blurring of professional boundaries presented both enabling and hindering aspects for integrated work.

Conclusions:

Understanding and managing PI is vital for successful integrated care.
Factors like communication, trust, and clear scope of practice support PI in integrated teams.
This study offers practical insights for practitioners on managing PI to enhance integrated team performance and patient care.
