Q

ABDELLAH - HEALTH

A

Health, or the achieving of it, is the purpose of nursing services.

  • Health may be defined as the dynamic pattern of functioning
    whereby there is a continued interaction with internal and
    external forces that results in the optimal use of necessary
    resources to minimize vulnerabilities.
  • Although Abdellah does not define health, she speaks to “total health
    needs” and “a healthy state of mind and body.”

  3. Nurses are willing to serve, and “nurses will devote themselves to
    the patient day and night.”
  4. Henderson also believes that the “mind and body are inseparable
    and are interrelated.
36
Q

HENDERSON - PERSON

A
  • Someone who needs nursing care but did not limit nursing to illness care.
  • Individuals have basic health needs and require assistance to achieve health and
    independence or a peaceful death.
  • An individual achieves wholeness by maintaining physiological and emotional
    balance.
  • The Need Theory presented the patient as a sum of parts with biopsychosocial
    needs, and the mind and body are inseparable and interrelated.
37
Q

HENDERSON - ENVIRONMENT

A
  • The Need Theory did not explicitly define the environment. However,
    maintaining a supportive environment conducive to health is one of the
    14 activities for client assistance.
  • The Need Theory supports the private and public health sector’s tasks or
    agencies to keep people healthy.
  • Society wants and expects the nurse’s act for individuals who cannot
    function independently.
38
Q

HENDERSON - HEALTH

A
  • Although not explicitly defined in the Need Theory, health was taken to mean
    balance in all realms of human life.
  • It is equated with the independence or ability to perform activities without aid in
    the 14 components or basic human needs.
  • On the other hand, nurses are key persons in promoting health, preventing illness,
    and curing.
  • Good health is a challenge because it is affected by numerous factors such as age,
    cultural background, emotional balance, and others.
39
Q

HENDERSON - NURSING

A
  • Henderson wrote her definition of nursing before the development of
    theoretical nursing.
  • She defined nursing as “the unique function of the nurse is to assist the
    individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to
    health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided
    if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a
    way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.”
40
Q

HENDERSON - NURSING

A
  • The nurse’s goal is to make the patient complete, whole, or
    independent. In turn, the nurse collaborates with the
    physician’s therapeutic plan.
  • Nurses temporarily assist an individual who lacks the necessary
    strength, will, and knowledge to satisfy one or more of the 14
    basic needs.
41
Q

ADDITIONAL HENDERSON - NURSING

A
  • “The nurse is temporarily the consciousness of the unconscious, the love life
    for the suicidal, the leg of the amputee, the eyes of the newly blind, a
    means of locomotion for the infant, knowledge, and confidence of the
    young mother, the mouthpiece for those too weak or withdrawn to speak.”
  • Additionally, she stated that “…the nurse does for others what they would
    do for themselves if they had the strength, the will, and the knowledge. But
    I go on to say that the nurse makes the patient independent of them as
    soon as possible.”
42
Q

MORE HENDERSON - NURSING

A
  • Her definition of nursing distinguished a nurse’s role in health
    care:

 The nurse is expected to carry out a physician’s therapeutic plan, but
individualized care results from the nurse’s creativity in planning for care.

  • The nurse should be an independent practitioner able to make an
    independent judgment.
43
Q

Her first encounter with the nursing profession was when she
was 7 years old and witnessed the care given to her
hospitalized aunt by nurses. This situation led her to the
desire to care for other people, and her goal was to help
people care for themselves.

“a positive dynamic
state not merely the absence of
disease.”

50
Q

Health-promoting behaviors should
result in

A

improved health, enhanced
functional ability, and better quality
of life at all development stages.

51
Q

Health promotion is

A

directed at

increasing a client’s level of well-
being. It describes the multi-
dimensional nature of persons as they

interact within the environment to
pursue health.

52
Q

The health promotion model focuses on the following three (3) areas:

A
  1. Individual characteristics and experiences

Q

commitment to a plan of action, immediate
competing demands and preferences, and health-promoting behavior.

A

Behavioral outcomes

58
Q

Predictive of a given behavior and
shaped by the target behavior’s nature being considered.

A
  • Personal Factors
59
Q

include variables such as age, gender, body
mass index, pubertal status, aerobic capacity, strength, agility, or balance.

A

 Personal biological factors

60

Q

Anticipated positive
outcomes that will occur from health behavior.

A

Perceived Benefits of Action

63
Q

Anticipated, imagined, or
real blocks and personal costs of understanding a given
behavior.

A

Perceived Barriers to Action

64
Q

 The judgment of personal capability to organize and
execute a health-promoting behavior.

 Perceived self-efficacy influences perceived barriers to
action, so higher efficacy results in lowered perceptions
of barriers to the behavior’s performance.

A

Perceived Self-Efficacy

65
Q

 Subjective positive or negative feeling occurs before,
during, and following behavior based on the stimulus
properties of the behavior itself.
 Activity-related affect influences perceived self-efficacy,
which means the more positive the subjective feeling, the
greater its efficacy. In turn, increased feelings of efficacy
can generate a further positive affect.

A

Activity-Related Affect

66
Q

Cognition concerning behaviors,
beliefs, or attitudes of others. Interpersonal influences include
norms (expectations of significant others), social support
(instrumental and emotional encouragement), and modeling
(vicarious learning through observing others engaged in a
particular behavior).

healthcare providers.

promoting is proposed to take place.

health behavior.
