Complex Nursing Care: Mental Health – Nursing Assignment

Referring to evidence-based literature, including references to mental health consumers’ views and

experiences of participation in their health care, discuss:

– The principles and the benefits of collaborative, consumer-centred mental health nursing practice 
– How consumers’ experiences of living with mental illness can inform mental health nursing practice.

Concept Synthesis Paper on Personal Nursing Philosophy
You are required to submit a scholarly paper in which you will identify, describe, research, and apply the concepts that underlie your personal philosophy for professional nursing practice.
This will help you identify your own values and beliefs about the established metaparadigms and metatheories of the discipline. It will also help you identify and articulate concepts relevant to your specific practice. This paper is intended to be an exercise in clarification and organization of your professional foundation. You are also required to provide a list of assumptions from personal nursing practice that illustrate the concepts and framework of your theory.
Your paper should follow a format that includes:
Nursing Autobiography: A brief (1 page) discussion of your background in nursing.
The Four Metaparadigms: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on the basic four metaparadigms/concepts of patient, nurse, health, and environment.
Two Practice-Specific Concepts: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on at least two other concepts specific to your own practice.
List of Propositions: A numbered list of at least five propositions or assumption statements that clearly connect the concepts described.
Each week, you will complete various segments of your Concept Synthesis Paper and submit it to the Submissions Area for facilitator feedback when necessary. Your paper should integrate these discrete elements and reflect your personal nursing philosophy.
Your Concept Synthesis Paper on your Personal Nursing Philosophy is due in Week 3. However, it is recommended that you begin working on your paper from Week 1 onwards and complete the various components related to the paper week wise as you progress through the course. The suggested tasks for each week are:
Week 1: Nursing Biography and The Four Metaparadigms of Nursing
Week 2: Two Practice-specific Concepts, and List of Propositions/Assumptions
Week 3: Due: Concept Synthesis Paper on Personal Nursing Philosophy
Consider the following questions as you complete your various tasks related to this assignment.
1.
How do I define and employ the four basic metaparadigms of nursing theory in my professional practice?
2.
What are the major concepts I employ that are unique to my professional practice?
3.
What philosophies and theories from the literature of nursing and other disciplines/domains are consistent with these concepts?
4.
How are the concepts of transcultural nursing, the health promotion model, skill acquisition, role theory, and change theory specifically integrated into my philosophy and practice?
5.
What research supports these theories and concepts?
6.
How do I integrate role and change theory into my professional practice and how may these theories be applied to the organization in which I practice?
The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APA Manual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 6-10 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately.
Your philosophy/framework is to be given a title that is appropriate to its content and emphasis.

 Create an “ideal” nursing unit. Your facility is a brand new small critical access hospital that has 25 medical/surgical beds and a small rehabilitation unit with 6 beds. you will need to work together to research and discuss specific issues to create your nursing unit. For Part 1, write a three to five page paper that includes the following:

1.Would you prefer that your unit be part of a centralized or decentralized organization? Explain why you chose one over the other.

2.Will your unit have a shared governance model? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a shared governance model? What committees/councils will you create to help lead your unit? What will the committees focus on?

3.Research and describe at least three models of care delivery using evidence-based sources. One model needs to be an innovative/future models. Then choose one of these models to be used on your nursing unit. Justify your decision.

The factors that determine your health are multifaceted, ranging from age, sex, and genetic makeup to socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions. This week’s Discussion will give you the opportunity to explore these factors further.

To prepare review the weekly readings on social determinants of health and then visit the Healthy People 2020 website (http://www.healthypeople.gov.) Explore the Leading Health Indicators described on the Healthy People website. Then, select one social determinant and one Leading Health Indicator to analyze for this week’s Discussion.

post a comprehensive response to the following questions as they relate to your selected determinant and Leading Health Indicator. Be sure to identify the determinant in the beginning of your posting to your peers.

• In what ways can your select social determinant influence one of the Leading Health Indicators described on the HealthyPeople.gov site? For example, if you choose the Leading Indicator of oral health care, how might the social determinant of socio-economic status impact one’s oral health?
• How do you know this? Summarize the evidence through effective paraphrasing and reference your sources at the end of your post.
• Has the social determinant you chose for this Discussion impacted how you, a friend, or a family member received health care in the past? What was the impact?

Note: Before you post your written response, review the Writing and Library Skills Resource Guide for information pertaining to searching the Walden library databases, effective paraphrasing, using evidence to support written statements, and preparing a reference list. Apply what you’ve learned about paraphrasing and demonstrate your ability to summarize content from the readings in your own words. Also, practice supporting your statements with your readings for this week. Provide a list of references at the end of your post.
