Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Band Theory

Band Theory

When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.
Conductor, Semiconductor,...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Attribution Theory

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Summary

Grounded theory methodology offers three main approaches for nursing research: Glaser, Strauss and Corbin, and Charmaz. Choosing the right grounded theory method requires understanding philosophical underpinnings and practical alignment with researcher capabilities.

Area of Science:

Nursing Research
Qualitative Methodology

Background:

Grounded theory is a widely adopted qualitative research methodology.
Three prominent grounded theory approaches exist: Glaser, Strauss and Corbin, and Charmaz.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the three primary grounded theory approaches used in nursing research.
To guide researchers in selecting the most appropriate grounded theory method based on their specific needs.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of the Glaser, Strauss and Corbin, and Charmaz grounded theory approaches.
Discussion of philosophical underpinnings and practical considerations for method selection.

Main Results:

While all three approaches share common procedures, significant differences necessitate careful researcher choice.
Selection criteria include understanding philosophical foundations and aligning practical aspects with researcher skills and theory application.

Conclusions:

The choice of a grounded theory approach is contingent upon the researcher's grasp of philosophical differences and practical considerations.
Matching the approach to the researcher's analytical style and the intended use of the theory is crucial for effective qualitative research.
