Topic 8 Responses DQ 1 Responses Response to Jessica Hello, Jessica. Thank you for this great post. I agree that translational research is an integral part of clinical practice, allowing the application of research evidence in practice and various healthcare settings to optimize health and health outcomes. Theories in nursing are vital in informing and revolutionizing the nursing profession, and nurses adopt theoretical frameworks to guide their practice, develop their professions, and enhance healthcare delivery. You have discussed the adaptation model in nursing, which is an interesting choice. Per Roy’s model, nurses should focus on improving compliance and life expectancy (Browning Callis, 2020). The model can help nurses assess a patient’s physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence modes, allowing the provision of holistic care. References Browning Callis A. M. (2020). Application of the Roy Adaptation Theory to a care program for nurses. Applied nursing research: ANR , 56 , 151340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apnr.2020.151340 Response to Mary Hi, Mary. You have shared an informative and intriguing discussion on science-based theories. I agree that nursing theories play a vital role in developing and advancing the nursing profession.
Nursing theories also help develop and define nursing care, inform nursing practice, and offer the foundation of clinical decision-making. You have discussed Watson’s caring theory and Roy’s adaptation model. These two theories inform nursing practice differently. Watson claims that the central tenet of the Theory of Caring is that people are not things to be handled and that people are inextricably linked to their selves, others, the natural world, and the greater community (Bagheri et al., 2023). Her philosophy covers the entire field of nursing, emphasizing the interpersonal dynamics between the person providing care and the person receiving it. On the other hand, Roy is credited with developing the idea of veritivity, which holds that human nature is inherently motivated by a creative and intentional desire for the common good that upholds the dignity of all racial and ethnic groups as well as the sanctity of our humanity (Browning Callis, 2020). Nurses can benefit from both theories. References Bagheri, S., Zarshenas, L., Rakhshan, M., Sharif, F., Sarani, E. M., Shirazi, Z. H., & Sitzman, K. (2023). Impact of Watson's human caring-based health promotion program on caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia.

Thank you for an informative and exciting discussion. You have clearly defined and addressed science-based theories, which I really appreciate. Science-based theories are based on careful observations or experimentations and systematic explanations of the outcomes. You have discussed multiple theories and models including the systems theory, biopsychosocial theory, evidence-based model, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the social learning theory, and cognitive load theory. Of interest the biopsychosocial theory. When attempting to comprehend health, sickness, and the provision of healthcare, the biopsychosocial approach methodically takes into account biological, psychological, and social aspects as well as their intricate relationships (Brown et al., 2019). In natural systems, biological, psychological, and social elements are present in varying degrees. Just as analysis of biological elements necessitates the application of the natural sciences, so does systematic consideration of psychological and social factors demand the application of pertinent social sciences. Thus, the social and natural sciences are equally fundamental to clinical practice. References Brown, C. J., S, C., Romano, J., & Engel, G. (2019). Biopsychosocial model approach definition. In University of Rochester (pp. 1–2). https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/medialibraries/urmcmedia/education/md/documents/biop sychosocial-model-approach.pdf DQ 2 Responses Response to Pambe Nemb Hi, Nemb.

You have shared a comprehensive and insightful discussion on multiple scientific theories. Science-based theories can be tested and verified, which makes them instrumental in nursing practice. From the theories you have discussed, I was interested in the health belief model. I am not sure whether the health belief model is a science-based model, but it is one of my favorites and most applicable concepts. The health belief model is a theoretical framework that can direct initiatives for illness prevention and health promotion. It is applied to anticipate and explain changes in health-related behaviors on an individual basis (Rural Health Information Hub, 2019). It is among the most popular paradigms for comprehending health behaviors. The Health Belief Model's key ideas center on how personal beliefs about health issues influence how each person acts in relation to their health. References Rural Health Information Hub. (2019, April 30). The Health Belief Model . Ruralhealthinfo.org; Rural Health Information Hub. https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/toolkits/health- promotion/2/theories-and-models/health-belief Response to Jessica Neely Hello, Neely. Your discussion insightfully addressed the various scientific theories guiding practice. I tend to believe that any nurse at any level can be able to apply a nursing theory if they adopt literature and other educational materials, although theory-based nursing is common in higher nursing education. You have discussed Martha Roger’s unified theory and Florence Nightingale’s environmental theory. Nursing, according to the Science of Unitary Human Beings (SUHB) philosophy, is both a science and an art since it offers a perspective on the unitary human being,
who is fundamental to all that exists (Gonzalo, 2021). The environment and the unitary human person are one. Nursing is concerned with people and the ways in which the mutual human- environmental field process gives rise to various expressions. On the other hand, Florence Nightingale's environmental philosophy is founded on five principles, which she thought were necessary to create a healthy home: light, cleanliness, basic sanitation, clean water and air, and order. She felt that these elements were crucial to recovery (Riegel et al., 2021). Both theories are immensely informative and supportive of nursing practice. References Gonzalo, A. (2021, March 5). Martha Rogers: Science of Unitary Human Beings . Nurseslabs. https://nurseslabs.com/martha-e-rogers-theory-unitary-human-beings/ Riegel, F., Crossetti, M. D. G. O., Martini, J. G., & Nes, A. A. G. (2021). Florence Nightingale's theory and her contributions to holistic critical thinking in nursing. Revista brasileira de enfermagem , 74 (2), e20200139. https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2020-0139 Response to Mary Josephine Famorca Hello, Famorca. Your discussion is educative and exciting. I agree that nursing theories help us understand the role of nurses and why they do what they do. I agree that nurses can adopt nursing theories to help understand how to approach patient care and engage with patients appropriately. You have discussed Dorothea Orem’s self-care theory and Jean Watson’s caring theory. These theories focus on nursing care, but approach it from different perspectives. Orem stresses the importance of self-care in patient recovery and promotion of health and well-being, recommending nurses promote self-care among their patients (Tanaka, 2022). Per Orem, increasing and encouraging
patients’ responsibility in taking care of their health is crucial. Watson focuses on nursing care as a nurse’s responsibility to promote health, prevent illness, care for the sick, and restore health (Bagheri et al., 2023). Nonetheless, both theories inform nursing practice and can be adopted in all care settings. References Bagheri, S., Zarshenas, L., Rakhshan, M., Sharif, F., Sarani, E. M., Shirazi, Z. H., & Sitzman, K. (2023). Impact of Watson's human caring-based health promotion program on caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia.
