Watson’s Theory is about promoting care and self -efficacy. Helping the patient through their progression of care with the goal of decreasing the negative impact of the disease and allowing the patient to make life adjustments to face the current situation (Kornusky and Karakashian, 2018). 

Allowing the patient to include their unique beliefs and practices into their plan of care will help with setting realistic goals for the patient to accomplish. Creating a relationship between the health care team and the patient foster the development of trust and the ability to express positive and negative feelings, allowing us to use the unknowing knowledge to adjust our plan of care depending on the patient’s distinctive learning characteristics incorporating the patients mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Watson’s theory is based on caring through the genuine presence and deliberate acts to optimize the patient’s ability to heal. Caring is the major concept.

When caring for a patient you must let them know that they have value within the world. Showing respect to the patient by nurturing the whole person will help the nurse use the six types of knowing. One of the most important approaches to caring for a patient is taking a holistic methodology, making sure to not just care for the disease. According to Watson, the Care theory defines health: as a high level of overall physical, mental, and social functioning with the ability to achieve a level of daily functioning (2009). The patient either is disease-free or taking steps towards being disease-free. Our environment is one that is caring, and nursing exists in every society, which is modeled by generation to generation ingrained in the culture of the nursing profession (Watson, 2009). Nursing focuses on preventing disease by promoting health with an understanding that the patient must be a part of this because they are at the center of the care. The model addresses caring for the sick and restoring health. Watson’s promotes health as well as treatment (Watson, 2009).

Watson’s Theory can be used to treat and foster a culture within the health care setting just like a patient, health care culture needs to care for their people, the health of the culture, evaluate the environmental health or workflows, and focuses on promoting a healthy working environment or fixing process problems. As nursing leadership, we will be empowered to help create a culture of care, modeling the care values to inspire a vision that will engage one’s team to care for their patients with the same passion. Allowing an environment of trust and innovation to care for the patient in a holistic and individualized manner. Understanding that one can learn from the nursing experience of frontline staff. If we ourselves implement some of these nursing theories into our vision and mission, we can gain a healthier healthcare organization.

I NEED A COMMENT FOR THIS POST WITH AT LEAST TWO PARAGRAPH AND TWO SOURCES NO LATER THAN FIVE YEARS

Recently, immunizations have become a major topic in health care at the governmental level. Based on community-level data, you have identified the need to increase immunization rates in the refugee and immigrant population in your community. Whom might you enlist as partners in planning and implementing programs to achieve desired health outcomes at the community level? Why did you select these partners?

 In previous weeks we have been reviewing the prevalence, mortality and morbidity associated with breast cancer. This is a topic of extreme public and personal interest. Primary care providers deal with the diagnosis, and the screening of breast cancer on a daily basis. Therefore, in this discussion we will discuss about the importance of understanding the advantages and limitations of its screening 

This week, you will submit summaries of quantitative and qualitative studies. The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with published research, research designs, and methodologies. For the assignment, you will select one quantitative research study and one qualitative study related to the field of nursing and write a summary of each study. Each summary must be accurate, succinct, and clear. These articles should be somewhat related to your PICOT questions. (The PICOT questions were related to Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)

Ensure the following questions are addressed in each summary:

1. What type of research is it (quantitative, qualitative, and design)?
2. What was the research question(s) or hypothesis?
3. What is the sample, the sample size, and sample attributes?
4. What was the setting of the study?
5. What were the researcher’s findings? (Identify one.)

You must submit the research study articles along with your summaries.

• Each summary should be between 150–250 words. 
• Use current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources.

Forms of Nursing Inquiry: Quality improvement (QI), Research, and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) has captured the attention of healthcare providers, healthcare organizations, and consumers to positively influence patient outcomes. However, confusion abounds about how evidence-based practice differs from research and quality improvement.

• Select either EBP, research or QI and identify how the selected approach is implemented to improve outcomes at your workplace. * (My work place is a hospice unit, that uses the EBP, to improve outcomes, but of course at certain point use research and QI). 
• How do you know this approach is utilized?
• Is this selected approach used apart from or in conjunction with the other approaches?
• Can one approach be effectively applied without the others? Why or why not?  
• Explain How evidence-based practice differs from research and quality improvement?

Instructions:

Use an APA style and a minimum of 200 words. Provide support from a minimum of at least three (3) scholarly sources. The scholarly source needs to be: 1) evidence-based, 2) scholarly in nature, 3) Sources should be no more than five years old (published within the last 5 years), and 4) an in-text citation. citations and references are included when information is summarized/synthesized and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards apply. 

• Textbooks are not considered scholarly sources.
