Adolescent ownership of asthma health: A concept analysis
1School of Nursing, The University of Texas at Tyler, Tyler, Texas.
Aim:
This concept analysis was developed to produce a working definition regarding ownership of health in advanced practice nursing.
Background:
Ownership of health is a new concept developed in nursing. Adolescence is a time of learning identity and needed life skills for a chronic illness. Nurses can utilize this concept for improvement of outcomes for their adolescent patients.
Design/Method:
This concept analysis is based on Walker and Avant.
Data Source And Review Of Literature:
As ownership of health is new in nursing, a literature search was based on elements of Donnelley's Functional Mastery of Health Ownership nursing model.
Results:
Attributes (responsibility, self-efficacy, mastery/control, and self-image), model/contrary case, antecedents (awareness, willingness, desire, and acceptance), consequences, and empirical referents are discussed.
Conclusions:
The definition of ownership is critical to both nursing and the advanced practice nurse. Adolescents are a special population of patients; learning how to both be independent and to care for their health. By employing a framework of ownership, adolescents can be more likely to thrive versus merely survive with asthma and the impact will go beyond the patients to their families and impact health outcomes as well.
