Nurses should develop policies grounded in nursing knowledge and values, using theoretical models like the Rainbow PRISM model. This approach ensures policies respect individual beliefs and guide practice effectively.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Health Policy Development
- Philosophy of Science
Background:
- Effective nursing practice requires policies rooted in distinct nursing knowledge.
- Existing policies may not fully encompass the diverse values and beliefs of all individuals.
- Theoretical frameworks are essential for guiding policy creation in nursing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the application of the Rainbow PRISM model for crafting nursing policies.
- To integrate Parse's humanbecoming paradigm and community change concepts into policy development.
- To examine the principles of inquiry construction within the context of nursing policy.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of nursing theories and models.
- Application of the Rainbow PRISM model to policy crafting.
- Integration of Parse's humanbecoming paradigm and community change concepts.
Main Results:
- The Rainbow PRISM model provides a structured approach for policy development.
- Aligning policy with the humanbecoming paradigm ensures person-centered care.
- Inquiry construction principles enhance the rigor of policy development.
Conclusions:
- Crafting nursing policies requires a strong theoretical foundation, such as the humanbecoming paradigm.
- The Rainbow PRISM model offers a practical framework for developing inclusive and knowledgeable nursing policies.
- Integrating theoretical concepts enhances the quality and ethical basis of nursing practice and policy.
