1 Compassionate Care According to Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring Explanation Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring is a humanistic approach to healthcare emphasizing empathy and advocating for holistic, person-centered compassion in healthcare relationships. Population/Patient Problem The group affected by a particular practice issue or condition. The problem is the health challenges affecting the group identified. An example of the patient problem is high fall risk which usually affects the elderly in nursing homes. The Theory of Human Caring helps to select this population by encouraging holistic patient-centered care and emphasizing compassion and empathy. Seeing the whole person and listening to their needs is essential to forming an approach to address the identified problem in the population (Aghaei et al., 2020). Open communication with the patient and acknowledgment of their experiences, feelings, and desires helps to create more effective, personalized, and caring health care. Intervention Intervention considers the patient in whole-person terms, which allows the individual to determine the best intervention to address the patient's problem. Examples of interventions include promoting healthy lifestyle choices, offering personalized medication management, physical/occupational therapies, health monitoring, and patient education. Watson's Theory of Human Caring emphasizes the importance of patient-staff connection, which helps to create a more effective and compassionate approach to healthcare. The intervention should be based on the patient's identified needs. According to Watson's theory, nursing care has four components: health promotion, health maintenance, health protection, and health restoration (Gunawan et al.,

2 2020). Appropriate nursing interventions should be based on these four components and the estimation of the patient's condition. Watson's metaphysical idea of the human, the healthcare environment, and nurses is essential to the nurse-patient relationship and should be considered when selecting interventions. Comparison The comparison between the chosen intervention and alternative actions should be analyzed to determine its effectiveness. For example, if the intervention is to conduct hourly rounds, comparing bed alarms as an alternative action should be analyzed. Both options should be compared based on their effectiveness in reducing patient falls, the time and staff required to conduct the rounds, and the cost. Bed alarms rely on auditory stimulation, while hourly rounds require an interaction with the patient, meaning that the former leads to less person-centered care. Furthermore, another alternative action is not applying any interventions at all, which would not effectively promote the holistic, compassionate care needed to address patient problems (Singh, et al., 2018). Therefore, comparing interventions helps identify which option will best suit the patient's needs while also helping to provide the highest level of care. Outcome The outcome of the proposed intervention should be to reduce the prevalence and incidence of falls amongst the geriatric patient population. This outcome would align with Watson's Theory of Human Caring, which emphasizes holistic, compassionate approaches to healthcare. Achieving this outcome would demonstrate empathy and a focus on the patient's well-being, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. Type of Study

3 An observational study is the best type of study to determine whether bed alarms, rails, or hourly rounding can reduce falls among the geriatric patient population. Using an observational study design, the participants' falls would be monitored throughout the intervention to evaluate if the intervention affected fall incidence. The study would collect data from various sources, such as medical records and interview responses, to measure the participants' falls with and without the intervention. The data collected could then be analyzed to measure the effect of the intervention on Falls, which would then be compared to traditional bed alarms or rails. This type of study provides necessary data to measure and compare the effectiveness of the different treatments while also allowing for the exploration of any factors associated with fall risk (Singh et al., 2018). Ultimately, an observational study would help to determine the effectiveness of different interventions in reducing falls among the geriatric population. References Aghaei, M.
