Essays on Holism

According to the Betty Neuman's theory, a human being is an open system which interacts with both internal and external environments (Alligood, 2014). In addition, a human is always exposed to constant stressors and he/she must move in the direction where there is holistic stability. This theory views both environments as stressors which a person is exposed to on a daily basis (Sitzman & Eichelberger, 2015). In accordance with Betty Neuman's theory, the external factor which affects the health of Mr. Reynolds include the state of being hospitalized, being a widower, living in isolation and environmental risk factors for falls. ...

The main objective of any health care system is to provide patient care with desirable patient outcomes. Simply put, a health care system strives to promote well-being and heath status of all human beings. It is also important to note that most aspects of the healthcare focus on prevention and management of pain among patients because freedom from pain is an essential dimension of health. Additionally, pain among patients is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires a broad, integrated and a comprehensive care model (Glare et al., 2014). Many studies that have been carried out by various scholars on health ...

Imogene King in her theory of goal attainment stresses on the need for ensuring accuracies regarding the ...

Worldviews The ultimate impact of the different worldviews on nursing practice is that they create some form of diversity in the ability for nurses to deliver on their expected health care services. Leininger (2002) argues that health care service delivery has experienced a major challenge due to some form of disconnect between the options presented by nurses when compared to the expectations of views presented by individual patients. In most cases, nurses encounter a situation where the quality of services that they offer does not match the set of views presented by their patients, thus, creating the need for ...

One approach of delivering care services is by focusing on a family, identifying the specific health needs of such families, and developing plans of treatment that are focused on ...

There are several movements in healthcare reform in the USA that promote the transition from disease-oriented healthcare to a culture of wellness: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Culture of Health initiative of the Robert Wood Foundation, and the increased focus on person-centered and fundamental care.

The ACA extended health insurance and thus improved access to healthcare for at least an additional 50 million Americans who were previously uninsured (Nardin, Zallman, Sayah, & McCormick, 2016).

As such, when one is breathing out lack of food and homelessness, they feel relieved and peaceful. The feeling of relief and peace reduces suffering and improves the general condition of an individual. Therefore, this practice has taught me that ...
