The Orem Model in Terms of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper examining the compatibility of Orem's self-care framework and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. These two concepts absolutely are compatible in their natures. Assessing results according to Maslow's theories can inform nursing evaluation of the patient's progress in self care, and be used to encourage the patient to take on even greater responsibility over time. It has been known for some time that patients gain psychological benefit from having an active role in their own health care. That psychological benefit may positively affect the patient's physical condition as well. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Patient Care Delivery Model at the Massachusetts General Hospital
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing Harvard case study 9-699-154. Massachusetts General Hospital attempted to implement a new approach to delivering patient care, but found that not all factors had been identified at the outset. The hospital did everything “right,” such as bringing in outside consultants and attempting to identify factors that would affect the success of implementation of the Patient Care Delivery Model (PCDM), but without gaining the results it anticipated. The paper concludes that the case as reported is not a total failure, for patient satisfaction did remain high throughout and the hospital’s administration was able to learn much from the mistakes made. MGH would be well advised to delay any further implementation of the PCDM until it thoroughly studies actual results and more accurately accounts for the true costs of realities observed. Bibliography lists 1 source.

The Pender Health Promotion Model
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper discussing this model of nursing and model of health care, particularly as it relates to education. The Pender model holds that people are willing and able to take the steps necessary to improve their health standing, to seek increasing levels of wellness rather than only existing without the presence of illness. Delivering health-enhancing information within the confines of the Pender model as well as deference to learning theory can be of tremendous benefit to individuals. It is reasonable to assume that greater progress in a shorter period of time provides additional incentive to retain new behaviors and to continue practicing them until they become ingrained. Achieving healthier behaviors over the long term is the goal of those in health promotion. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Contemporary nursing is a constantly advancing, changing field in which knowledge is advancing in all specialty fields at an accelerated rate. In order for nurses to continue to offer the optimum in evidence-based patient care, there must be a synthesis between leadership and management that encourages nurses to keep "at the top of their game" and thereby reach their full potential as healthcare professionals.
