As I begin my practicum, I believe it is important to familiarize myself with and utilize established nursing theories to maximize the experience. As I pondered on which theory to use I thought about what theory I would want a healthcare provider to use as they are caring for me. I feel that Paterson & Zderad’s Humanistic Nursing Theory will assist me and guide my practicing. It portrays the potential to mold me into the practitioner I hope to become. NURS 6531 : Practice Care of Adults – Practicum Experience Journal.
The Humanistic Nursing Theory rose up out of Paterson’s and Zderad’s desire for an approach to improve things for healthcare professionals and their patients as they interacted with and performed the day to day activities of nursing practice (Parker & Smith, 2010). They felt the need to offer a method for reacting to the call of human needs NURS 6531 : Practice Care of Adults – Practicum Experience Journal. At the point when a healthcare professional reacts to a call of a health-related concern, she enters the universe of another, offering to, figuratively, experiences existence with that individual. From these experiences, they can encourage patients or their friends and family to be as much as they can be in the circumstances in which they are in. Humanistic Nursing Theory offers nurses an approach to light up the qualities and implications central to their lived encounters, so they may impart them to other healthcare providers and coordinate them into their nursing practice (Parker & Smith, 2010) NURS 6531 : Practice Care of Adults – Practicum Experience Journal.
