Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

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...

Area of Science:

Pediatric Cardiac Care
Nursing Models
Healthcare Delivery Systems

Background:

Pediatric cardiac patients often experience fragmented care due to transfers between units.
A consistent care environment can reduce patient and family stress.
Existing care models may not fully address the evolving needs of pediatric cardiac patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe an acuity adaptable pediatric cardiac care model.
To highlight the benefits of relationship-based care in this setting.
To emphasize the role of nursing theory, specifically the Roy adaptation model, in optimizing care.

Main Methods:

The article describes a care model where pediatric cardiac patients remain in a single unit.
It integrates relationship-based care principles.
It draws upon the Roy adaptation model for nursing practice.

Main Results:

The acuity adaptable model facilitates continuous care from admission to discharge.
Relationship-based care fosters stronger patient-provider relationships.
Application of the Roy adaptation model enhances nursing's contribution to patient well-being.

Conclusions:

Acuity adaptable models improve care continuity for pediatric cardiac patients.
Relationship-based care and robust nursing knowledge are crucial for this population.
This integrated approach optimizes the healthcare experience and outcomes.
