Write or develop your own professional nursing practice philosophy, at least one (1) paragraph.
Include the following in your philosophy:
Describe the four (4) Nursing Meta-paradigm Concepts you believe or value about those concepts.
Then, compare your discussion of philosophy with the Module 1.1 and 1.2 discussions, focusing on the concepts from any nursing theorist's theory, such as Orem's Theory or Watson's Theory. I would like to know your conclusion.
My professional nursing philosophy is centered on the principle of holistic, patient-centered care. I believe nursing is both a science and an art, requiring clinical expertise, empathy, and a commitment to continuous learning. At the core of my practice are the four nursing metaparadigm concepts: Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing. I believe the Person is a unique, holistic individual with spiritual, emotional, physical, and social needs, not merely a collection of symptoms. The Environment encompasses the patient's internal and external surroundings, including family, community, and the healthcare setting, all of which profoundly impact their well-being. Health is a dynamic continuum, not simply the absence of disease, but a state of harmony and balance that is unique to each individual's context and goals. Finally, Nursing is the compassionate and knowledgeable interaction with the person and their environment to promote, restore, or maintain health, always respecting their dignity and autonomy. My practice is guided by the ethical responsibility to advocate for my patients, educate them, and empower them to be active participants in their health journey.
In comparing my philosophy to the concepts from nursing theorists, I find a strong resonance with both Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory and Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring. My belief in a person as a unique, holistic individual who should be an active participant in their care aligns directly with Orem's concept of self-care. Orem posits that nursing's role is to help patients meet their self-care needs, particularly when they have a "self-care deficit." This mirrors my philosophy that nursing is about empowering patients and providing the support they need to maintain or regain their health. Similarly, my emphasis on the compassionate and relational aspect of nursing is deeply connected to Watson's Theory of Human Caring. Watson's "carative factors," such as forming a humanistic-altruistic system of values and promoting acceptance of positive and negative feelings, directly reflect my belief in treating the patient with dignity and understanding the impact of their emotional and spiritual well-being on their health.
