Ida J. Orlando And Hildegard E. Peplau: Theoretical Application To Eating Disorders
[ send me this essay ]
14 pages in length. Nursing's primary focus is to complement the patient by providing a combination of physical care and the psychological assurance so often needed in such vulnerable situations. Those suffering with eating disorders experience an inordinately level of emotional imbalance that can be attributed to myriad environmental factors, not the least of which includes the detrimental influence of popular culture. In order to reach these individuals where they will not only hear what they are being told but also adhere to it requires an intrinsic connection inherent to both Peplau and Orlando's theories, the fundamental basis of which is cultivating a relationship between nurse and patient to the point where it goes far beyond the conventional - and often perfunctory - pleasantries typically exchanged within the facility atmosphere. A deeper and more genuine interface with the patient will bring about positive results unlike many other theories. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
