Theories Around Self-Promotion and Self-Management
Published in Gia Merlo, Kathy Berra, Lifestyle Nursing, 2023
Maria Grandinetti, Sarah E. Abalos
In nursing, the concept of person is defined as the individual receiving nursing care (Fawcett, 1993). The concept of person may also include the client’s family members, friends, and community. The concept of environment refers to the individuals the client interacts with, the setting in which the client is located, and the nursing care that is being provided. The concept of health is described as the client’s level of self-care, self-promotion, self-management, and overall well-being. This concept occurs on a continuum that ranges from sickness to wellness. The concept of nursing encompasses the five phases of the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The definition of the concept of nursing includes all other interactions between a nurse and the client (Fawcett, 1993).

Nurses are uniquely positioned to identify and address the issues that impact an individual's overall health. Basic to the ‘nursing process,' is to assess, plan, implement and evaluate the care delivered to optimize health for a given patient. In caring for individuals, it is important to consider factors impacting patients' current health status and support, thus improving and maintaining health and wellness. Nurses are vital to ensuring that the full SDoH context of a person's life is included in delivering care that fits that unique individual's needs. The WHO's framework also emphasizes the need to integrate social concerns and principles of social justice into nursing and health policy (World Health Organization, 2020; Olson, 2016). At all times, even in the face of pandemics, nurses carry the responsibility for providing holistic care for every patient. WHO acknowledges the critical functions that nursing serves throughout our healthcare systems, and especially as advocates for their patients (World Health Organization, 2020).

The nursing process defines each patient as unique, requiring individual assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, interventions, and ongoing evaluation and re-evaluation. Although many professional commonalities are involved in meeting the standard of care, the expert must identify standards for the patients and clinical scenarios presented for review assuring that the time frame that pertains to the case is utilized.

Based on a systematic review of the literature and a prior pilot study, the researchers developed a 5-step multi-sensory, integrated sleep-promotion program to improve sleep quality among hospitalized older adults (Kaewlue et al., 2020; Norachan et al., 2019). The foundation of the program is the concept of relaxation. The nursing process was the framework for the sequence of activities (Yura & Walsh, 1983). This multi-sensory sleep promotion program was improved by five experts, including medical doctors, nurse lecturers, and registered nurses who have provided care and conducted research about sleep promotion in older adults. The program’s activities engaged the older adult participants for five days. The duration of this program was selected based on the literature. Most middle age and older adult patients experience sleep disturbance on their first night of hospital admission (Kulpatcharapong et al., 2020). Length of stay statistics over three years for the private medical ward showed that patients stayed for about 5, 7, or 10 days. Because the intervention should achieve effectiveness in a relatively short period, we chose five days as an appropriate period for the intervention.
The Relationship Between Lifelong Learning Perceptions of Pediatric Nurses and Self-Confidence and Anxiety in Clinical Decision-Making Processes

Nursing process is a systematic approach consisting of stages, such as determining the care needs/problems of healthy/sick individuals and their families, planning and implementing necessary nursing interventions and evaluating results. Clinical decision-making is also a fundamental part of the nursing process and the patient care plan adopted by nurses as a problem solving approach. In pediatric nursing, clinical decision-making refers to the correct identification of hospitalized children’s problems and the selection of the most correct nursing-related behavior (Chen et al., 2016; Johansen & O’brien, 2016; Ozden et al., 2018). Nurses are the healthcare professionals who evaluate the data on changes in a patient’s condition, set priorities and take responsibility with the patient and the patient’s family to make the most appropriate clinical care decisions. These decisions directly affect patient care and patient safety (Al Dossary et al., 2016; Choi & Kim, 2015).
Nurse Educators’ Pedagogical Approaches Addressing Student Nurses’ Mental Health Care Competence: A Qualitative Study
Published in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2023
Siv Camilla Marriott, Ellen Karine Grov, Marianne Thorsen Gonzalez
The educators believed that it was important for students to learn the nursing process and its components, including clinical assessment, judgement and decision making. They expressed concerns about students’ ability to recognise clinical mental health signs and core diagnostic issues, as well as their familiarity with psychiatric terminology. By demonstrating to students how mental health disorders can affect self-care needs, the educators helped them grasp the scope of nursing and apply the nursing process within mental health care. This entailed understanding what to assess, how to make clinical decisions and how to intervene: ‘I point out [that] everything we [nurses] do is systematic and planned work. It requires as much preparation and as much systematisation as [nursing in the physical health care context], and they can to some extent use the same tools they had before’. (p. 4) The educators also drew attention to what students needed to reflect on in a clinical setting, such as patients’ behaviour: ‘That is what I am trying to help them [the students] to understand. Why is the patient behaving like that? And what is what I observe about?’. (p. 10) Helping students to understand what clinical signs or behaviour they might expect experience was addressed in multiple learning situations, as previously mentioned.
