The Importance of Nursing Theory Worksheet Name: Jade Simpson Please read the assignment guidelines and rubric, then provide answers to the following questions: The nursing theory I chose is: The... nursing theory I chose is Hildegard Peplau’s theory of Interpersonal Relations. Why did I choose my selected nursing theory? I chose the interpersonal theory because Peplau’s theory explains the nurse to patient relationship from beginning of care to end of care. Brief summary of the nursing theory I chose including key concepts: Peplau’s theory includes nursing roles that are dynamic character roles in clinical nursing. The roles include: the orientation phase where the nurse and patient are engaged in treatment where the patient can ask questions and receive information. This stage helps the patient to develop trust and to get a feel for the nurse and the facility. The identification phase the nurse and patient begin to work together building more trust. In the exploitation phase the patient can then take advantage of all of the services being offered. During the resolution phase the patient’s needs are met due to effective communication between the nurse and patient, here the patient no longer needs help and the relationship ends (Neese, 2016). How does the selected nursing theory address or identify the concepts of the nursing metaparadigm? The interpersonal theory addresses all of the concepts of the metaparadigm because when all of the nursing roles are addressed it can affect all aspects of the person, environment, health, and most importantly clinical nursing as a whole. How is this nursing theory useful to the nursing profession? Hildegard Peplau’s nursing theory is useful to the nursing profession because it helps clinicians to focus on more therapeutic interventions to better service the patient as a whole. How would I apply this nursing theory to my chosen MSN specialty (educator, leadership/executive, nursing informatics, healthcare policy, nurse practitioner, population health, etc.) In the nursing informatics specialty, the whole focus is to have patient safety while being at the bedside. When an IT system is built with nursing in mind accurate and instantaneous patient information/identification at the bedside helps to improve patient safety and care. The patient's continuum of care is automated with a team focus building on collaboration with the patient as well. When the nurse-patient relationship is built using this theory all of the patient’s reasons for seeking healthcare needs are met and the relationship can then end with the patient being satisfied with care (Deane & Fain, 2015). Self-Reflection: What did I learn from completing this assignment? After completing this assignment I’ve learned that communication between the patient and the nurse can help to aid in the help of above normal patient care and safety but can also help with bedside identification. When all aspects of the patient’s care are addressed and documented correctly this can help to aid in the nurse providing better therapeutic interventions that can be prompted by the IT system that is in place.
