Application of Concepts from Caring Science

 

Assignment Prompt

 

Summary: A theory can be used to guide practice.  This assignment is an exercise in supporting a clinical practice with theory and evidence.

Directions: Identify an outcome of nursing practice in your area of practice that can be improved.  You may be able to use the problem that inspired the theory concepts that you developed in week two. WEEK 2 discussion #1CONCEPT EXPLORATION AND discussion #2 PERSONAL THEORY.

Briefly support why it is a problem with evidence from the literature. This is not the major focus of the assignment so do not elaborate.

Create clinical nursing (not medical) theory in the form of Concept A | Proposition | Concept B. Think of the structure like two nouns and a verb. While the term proposition is much more complex in the dictionary, in our use it is the connecting term between the two concepts. Examples include Concept A improves Concept B, Concept A is related to Concept B, when Concept A increases then Concept B also increases, etc. When you get to research, you will explore this further as you develop independent and dependent variables. How to use these statistically will come in research and statistics courses.

This clinical theory is identified as an empirical theory when you get to the C-T-E model later in this course. It is empirical in that they can be measured.

Identify and define your concepts. Identify how they could be measured in a research study. Be careful that you do not use compound concepts. If you find the words “and” or “or” in your theory, you are probably too complex.

If you research your question and seek funding, you will need a theoretical model to guide the research. In our assignment, we are using Watson. You will identify the concepts in Watson’s theories that are represented by the concepts you are using in your clinical theory. Match the proposition in her theory with your proposition. To help, the 10 Caritas Processes are Concept A. Choose the one that matches your concept. To clarify, let’s look at Caritas 1 Embrace and use it in middle-range theory. Sustaining humanistic-altruistic values by the practice of loving-kindness, compassion, and equanimity with self/others (Concept A – Very complex and abstract) improves (Proposition) subjective inner healing (Concept B).

Remember that the paper is not about the problem. It is about constructing a clinical theory and matching it to a middle-range theory and conceptual model your clinical theory represents.

Conclude the paper with your discoveries made in your readings and the impact on the nursing profession of your discoveries. Explore, briefly, discovered questions that require further research. Summarize the paper in the conclusion.

Expectations

 

· Length: 5 to 7 pages including title and reference pages

· References: 3 to 10. (within the last 5 years in APA format). There should be enough to support the links between the concepts of the problem and the concepts of Watson’s Theory of Caring.

· APA format with intext citations

· Plagiarism free.

· Turnitin receipt.

PLEASE be specific WRITING about (Concept A – Very complex and abstract) improves (Proposition) subjective inner healing (Concept B).

Watson’s Caring Science & Human Caring Theory

https://www.watsoncaringscience.org/jean-bio/caring-science-theory/

HERE BELOW ARE THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS THAT ABOVE IN CASE THEY ARE NOT VERY CLEAR. THANK YOU!

The assignment asks that you take Watson’s theory and apply it to a nursing practice issue in your clinical setting (you could use the exemplar you gave in week 2). You are to

· discuss two Caritas of Watson’s theory:

· one Caritas should reflect the outcome you want to achieve and

· the other Caritas should discuss the practice change you would need to make to achieve the outcome.

· In this paper you would also discuss how you would measure the two Caritas (one for the outcome and one to assess if the change in practice occurred);

· you will need to define the concepts you are using in your proposal and develop a proposition between them.

Please include several research articles on the reference page, cite them using APA, and include citations within your paper for ideas you have obtained from the evidence. The paper requires a title page, abstract, content, and reference page.

 

The DB assignment is self-evident: compare and contrast a theory from Watson and a theory from another nursing theory; lastly, discuss how one’s understanding of concepts is enhanced when it is viewed from the two perspectives you presented.

I will review drafts if you get it to me early enough. A sample paper is attached

Breastfeeding is so beneficial to both mother and baby. Infants who do not receive breast milk are likely to experience poorer health outcomes than breastfed infants; mothers who do not breastfeed increase their own health risks. There are various studies, research, and journals that focus on breastfeeding. Although my project might be a topic professionals have already studied, it would be worth wild to present to The International Breastfeeding Journal and Prolacta Bioscience.

The International Breastfeeding Journal, is one that currently publishes journals focused on nursing, midwifery, pediatric, obstetric, family medicine, public health, immunology, physiology, sociology and many other topics, with electronic publishing allowing for faster publication time for authors and open access ensures the journal is easily accessible to readers (The International Breastfeeding Journal, n.d). In order to help women, breastfeed successfully, there is a need to understand both the physiology of lactation and the social and cultural context within which breastfeeding occurs. The journal addresses all of these aspects, including identifying women who are at increased risk of not breastfeeding, the benefits to breastfeeding and the health effects of not breastfeeding for both mother and baby. It also looks at initiation to increasing breastfeeding initiation and duration as well as management of breastfeeding problems which is correlated to my presentation. It would be nice to collect data after implementing my project and be able to show this data as to how breastfeeding support can change initiation and duration of breastfeeding.

Last month I had the opportunity to attend a webinar by Prolacta Bioscience. Prolacta is a research driven company dedicated to advancing the science of breast milk. It has invested in research, clinical studies and facilities to develop and test human milk-based products such as fortifiers which are changing the standard car of premature infants globally (Prolacta Bioscience, 2020). This company highly support breastfeeding and breastfeeding initiatives because through its own research, it has concluded that breast milk is the best nutrition for critically ill babies. My project could focuses on providing mothers with support, and mothers who have their newborns in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) are mothers who need additional support. Because they are separated from their mothers, they may not be provided with the attention they need such as breastfeeding support. Additionally, some of these mothers have breastfeeding challenges due to their babies being premature, having a poor suck-swallow-breath coordination, and not producing enough milk. These mothers desperately need breastfeeding support.

Dissemination of EBP and research, such as presenting results at a conference or writing an article for a journal, is an important part of professional practice. Identify one professional journal and one nursing or health care conference where you might present your project. Discuss why each of your choices is the best option for you to disseminate your new knowledge.

 

Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years. There should be a mix between research and your reflections. Add critical thinking in the posts along with research. Apply the material in a substantial way.
