1 Responses Response to Megan Kirschner Hi Dr. Kirschner, Thank you for your insight on self-care within the nursing practice. Nurses can employ multiple strategies and interventions to support patients in developing and reinforcing self-care abilities. Firstly, nurses can provide patients with accurate and timely health information to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Additionally, improved awareness about risk factors associated with certain health conditions can help patients establish healthier lifestyles and modify their health behaviors. Nurses in leadership positions can also establish systems and processes to assess and evaluate patients’ self-care practices ( Rochfort et al., 2018). For example, nurses can set realistic patient-centered goals and outcomes specific to the patient’s needs. Nurses can monitor patient records regularly to track progress and recognize areas of success. One last intervention a nurse in a leadership position can undertake is to develop collaborative relationships with patients, involving them in decision-making and problem-solving regarding their self-care ( Hughes et al., 2018). This can foster trust and respect and build a robust support system. Overall, continuously assessing the patient’s self-care abilities with the methods discussed will assist in identifying deficits and encourage and motivate them to adhere to healthier lifestyles. Thank you for bringing potential strategies to my attention, Dr. Kirschner. References Hughes, T. M., Merath, K., Chen, Q., Sun, S., Palmer, E., Idrees, J. J., ... & Pawlik, T. M. (2018).
