Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

11.4K
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...

Levels of Communication I: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Small Group

13.2K
Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings. On the other hand, nonverbal communication refers to various factors that can impact how we understand each other—for example, facial expressions.
We interact with others using mediated technologies like the...

Levels of Communication II: Organizational, Public, and Group Dynamics

2.1K
Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

1.8K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis

4.3K
The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Systems Research
  • Communication Theory

Background:

  • Preventable medical errors cause millions of injuries and deaths annually, despite current interventions.
  • Hospital system health and patient safety are influenced by system-level factors, yet research often overlooks healthcare complexity.
  • Existing nursing communication theories do not adequately address the complexity of modern hospital environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a middle-range theory guiding research on system-level communication within complex healthcare environments.
  • To enhance understanding of how communication impacts hospital system health and patient safety.
  • To provide a theoretical framework for optimizing communication strategies in healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Concept derivation methodology by Walker and Avant (2018).
  • Integration of parent concepts from established communication and complexity theories.
  • Validation through expert review and alignment with the nursing metaparadigm.

Main Results:

  • Successful derivation of the Effective System-to-System Communication Theory (ESSCT).
  • Demonstrated coherence between derived concepts and conceptual statements.
  • Confirmation of congruency with research findings and theoretical statements.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ESSCT provides a necessary theoretical foundation for communication research in complex healthcare settings.
  • This theory can optimize research by accounting for hospital complexity, thereby improving patient safety.
  • The ESSCT offers a framework to guide future studies aimed at reducing errors and enhancing healthcare system performance.
