Criteria 2 –Discussion of one major theoretical perspective currently guiding own nursing practice, including why this perspective was chosen and how it guides and impacts on own nursing practice

Criterion 2 – Discussion (continued) Discussion of one major theoretical perspective currently guiding own nursing practice, including why this perspective was chosen and how it guides and impacts on own nursing practice

Criterion 2 requires discussion of espoused theory. Espoused theories: the theories /conceptual models that people claim they hold and guide their practice. “ When someone is asked how he would behave under certain circumstances the answer he usually gives is his espoused theory of action for that situation . This is the theory of action to which he gives allegiance and which upon request he can communicate to others” ( Argyris & Schon, 1974, pp.6-7) “ The concepts underpinning theories or models of nursing and the nursing process approach to care are components of the espoused theories of nursing theorists and academics – that is, the theories they claim to hold (Argyris and Schon, 1974)…therefore, they are also the espoused theories of nursing undergraduates and graduates. They are acquired consciously” (Greenwood, 2000, p. 7).

Criteria 2 – Discussion (continued) Discussion of one major theoretical perspective currently guiding own nursing practice, including why this perspective was chosen and how it guides and impacts on own nursing practice This criteria requires that you discuss your espoused theory of nursing practice.

• Identifying your own current area and level of nursing practice.

 • Discussing ONE major theory or theoretical perspective (such as nursing theory ) and how, where and why you apply it in your nursing practice and with what impact on your nursing practice.

 • For example: • If you are a clinical nurse educator you may be using Benner’s Novice to Expert theory to guide your practice in educating, mentoring and preceptoring nursing staff in the organization.

 • If you are practicing as a registered nurse in the mental health nursing context you may be using Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations.

 • If your nursing practice area is Medical Surgical Nursing and your level of practice is as a beginning nurse practitioner your espoused theory of nursing that you may claim mainly guides your practice is Orem’s Self Care Deficit Theory, or Kolcaba’s Comfort theory.

Criteria 3: Discusses own personal theory of nursing, including own beliefs and values in relation to the concepts of health, nursing, person and environment and the relationships between these two concepts.

• Argyris and Schon (1974) claim people have mental maps which guide their way to act in situations. (Theories in Use) and these strongly guide they way they actually act more than the formal theories and conceptual models that they espouse guide their practice.

• People are not generally aware of their own personal theories of nursing .

 • Criteria 3 requires you to discuss your own personal nursing theory-in-use.

• Identify, describe and discuss how you define and what you mean by the 4 concepts: Health: Person; Nursing: Environment and how these impact, influence and guide influence your nursing practice and the quality of the nursing care you give.

Including in this section if you refer to another person’s ideas, words, etc. (See also designated style manual and Turnitin Report).

Criteria 4: Discuss how your personal theory-in-use developed and how it impacts on your own actual nursing practice. • Discuss how you came to develop how you define, view and give meaning to the concepts of Person, Health, Nursing, Environment. That is discuss how your nursing theory-in-use developed. • For example, did your concept of nursing develop from being nursed, seeing a family member being nursed, watching nurses in their practice, from your family, peers, other? How did this influence the development of the concept and how you nurse others in practice. How does it guide your practice and impact on the quality of your nursing practice. • When presenting your own reflections and ideas in relation to your own personal theory of nursing, it is appropriate to use the first person; however, elsewhere use of the third person and referencing of all sources is required.

Criteria 5 With particular reference to the current literature discuss the importance and applicability of theory guided nursing practice in general and to own nursing practice in particular. • You are required to have at least five (5) recent (i.e. from 2012) references from peer-reviewed academic journals, preferably from nursing journals.

Recently you attended a national conference regarding infectious diseases and the potential for their spread with our current global environment. Upon return from the conference, you have a conversation with a local public health official who identifies that there is no regional plan to combat an infectious disease outbreak. In addition, the official noted the presence of several barriers which will make the development of a plan more of a challenge. These include, but are not limited to: · Identification of a plan that would cover a large region and a diverse population of approximately one million people · Identification of a plan that could be coordinated from one facility, but interact successfully with 6 different counties and two different state governments · The presence of a regional airport which increases the opportunity for introducing an infectious disease to the region From the conversation, you realize that a coalition will be needed and that macro leadership skills are required for the coalition to be successful. You now accept the challenge to build a coalition within the region to develop a plan that would resist a sudden outbreak of an infectious illness. Description of the Assignment The purpose of this project will be to address a healthcare concern occurring within a community by providing macro level leadership needed to build a coalition. The identified coalition will seek to resolve the healthcare concern. · This assignment will be presented via PowerPoint and will include 15 – 20 slides (excluding title and references slides). · Introduction provides information regarding: o Introductory slide(s) provided ALL of the following: o Definition of macro-leadership o Definition of coalitions o Explanation why a coalition would be helpful in resolving this identified healthcare concern. · Section One identifies macro-leadership skills and requires information related to each of the following areas: o Explain the difference between micro and macro leadership. o Explain how a macro leader demonstrates: § Mastery of self § Mastery of communication § Mastery of relationships o Explain how a macro-leader can overcome one disadvantage to using coalitions · Section Two discusses the coalitions in general by including the following information: o How will you pool available local and state resources? o How will you foster communication with individuals living in the region as well as local and state governments? o How will you maintain the energy of the coalition members? o How will you convince members to work together and avoid turf issues? · Section Three presents the specific coalition that you will suggest in order to resolve the identified healthcare concern.
