Description
These videos are designed to show nursing students how theories are applied in practice. They also provide examples for administrators to see how implementing certain theories can save money and increase the efficiency of institutions. Each video presents information on a theory, gives case study examples to show the application of a theory, and concludes with a discussion summarizing and synthesizing the theory and application.
From Beginner to Expert: Clinical Knowledge in Critical Care highlights the methods and major findings of a four-year research project. Illustrated by three clinical vignettes, the project is discussed by Dr. Patricia Benner and her research team. The study explores clinical learning and skilled clinical judgment and applies this to the process of becoming an expert nurse.
Self-Care Framework Model in Practice describes Dorothea Orem's self-care deficit nursing theory. Case studies are used to detail her theory which emphasizes the individual's capabilities for complete and effective self-care and the goal of nursing to help people meet demands for continuing and therapeutic self-care.
Adaptation Model in Practice explains Callista Roy's Adaptation Model that suggests that by viewing a patient as a person, a collaborative staff can help each patient adapt to a changing environment. Two different healthcare institutions exemplify how the model may be implemented.
