Nursing Theory and its Applications

In this paper, we will assess a grand nursing theory namely the Humanistic Model. First let’s have a brief introduction regarding this theory. The nursing theories either grand or middle range give organization in expressing statements which are related to questions in the field of nursing. It also gives nurses the opportunity in describing, predicting, explaining and controlling different sorts of activities which are relative to their daily practice. Nursing theories regarding the humanistic model believe on the phenomena that patients hold the key potential in self-actualization which can be used in many healthy as well as creative ways. Here, the focus of the humanists lie in the belief that nursing care is basically two-way interaction which occurs between patients and the nurse, the outcomes of this relation are influenced by both of their actions.

Firstly, let’s have a look on some of the important phases in the study of overall nursing. “A nurse should always have broad understanding of its own viewpoints, this helps in making more sense and adding more meanings to its overall experience.” (Williams, 2000). Nurses should also be more open to new and many different ideas and innovations which can greatly help in their overall profession in which they are required to know the requirements and wants of others very carefully.Nursing Theory and its Applications

Nurses should always be actively engaged in back and forth conversations with others in order to gain more clear understanding of others which can greatly help in further simplifying their tasks.

It is very important to know others scientifically in the field of nursing, here the nurse analyses, compares, interprets, contrasts and categorizes the issues it faces. A nurse should also have the ability to see itself as a source of knowledge, it could develop this by measures such as more understanding, more effective communication, increased learning from own and other’s experiences and so on. A knowledgeable person is respected everywhere and in the field of nursing it also has more chances of promotion, it even helps to save more lives and to give other nurses help in their duties which can ultimately result in more patient satisfaction and affiliation towards the environment in which the nurse operates.
