Watson's Theory - Having a Baby Isn't Easy! You are a student nurse at a Community Health Centre (CHC) in Toronto. You are working with a multidisciplinary team of implementing the City of Toronto, Public Health Department’s Healthy Babies Healthy Children (HBHC) program. This OHIP-covered program is very effective for high-risk pregnant women and families with children up to age six. All referrals are confidential. The goal is to support optimal health during pregnancy, identify any risks that could affect healthy child development, promote positive parenting skills, and provide health education. The hope is to assist those who are likely to fall through the cracks to deliver healthy, full-term babies and to give their children the best possible start in life. You were assigned to assist Suzy, aged 23. She is three months pregnant and this is her second pregnancy. Her first child was born 4 years ago and was taken into care by the Children’s Aid Society in Newfoundland. Suzy lives alone in a small studio apartment and works as a cleaner. She has no family in the city. Three months ago, she walked in to the CHC and said she had done a home pregnancy test and wanted “to make sure”. When her pregnancy was confirmed, she agreed to join the HBHC program. She was given information about the program and leaflets about pre-natal care. She did not come to her next two appointments. You phoned her three times and played “telephone tag”. Finally, she agreed to come to the centre for a prenatal visit. When you meet Suzy, she asks how long the visit will take. You reassure her it’ll be pretty quick, and you explain what a prenatal visit usually entails. You pick up that Suzy has “attitude” but at the same time you sense that she is very scared. You weigh her and see that she has gained very little weight compared to what she reports was her pre- pregnancy weight. You ask Suzy gently how she’s been feeling. Suzy says, not making much eye contact, “Ok, I guess. I hate getting fat. I’m still smoking because I don’t want to eat too much. And I know people judge me because I had to give away my first child. But I’m not a teenager anymore.” You try to respond therapeutically. By the end of the visit, you think you may have “connected”. You know you need to think about how to partner with Suzy because she is a high-risk patient and would benefit from the HBHC program. You turn to your nursing professor for guidance. How do you apply this theory and to develop a relationship with Suzy based on Watson's humanistic nursing theory using the caritas factors and caritas process #7. The promotion of trans personal teaching-learning. #8. The provision of supportive, protective and or correlative mental, physical, societal and spiritual environment. #9.
