Nursing Discussion Post
Topic I
To ensure safe distancing and self-isolating restriction adherence, instead of person to person interviews, you can do the interview in a virtual format such as skype, zoom, face time, or by telephone or email.
Interview someone from a different cultural background than your own to learn how his or her culture:
i. Perceives illness, including the meaning, causes, and treatment
ii. Views both acute and chronic illnesses
iii. Determine how his or her culture tends to view nurses
iv. Discuss how the perceptions of the interviewee influence his or her health behavior, including when he or she seeks help and the type of practitioner he or she consults.
v. From your perspective of a nurse, describe how his or her perceptions differ from your professional perspectives.
Topic II
Consider one of the nursing theories, conceptual frameworks, or mid-range theories presented in the textbook and class.
i. Which philosophy/conceptual framework/theory/middle-range theory describes nursing the way you think about it?
ii. What is your rationale for selecting this theory/framework?
iii. Discuss how you could utilize the philosophy/conceptual framework/theory/middle-range theory to organize your thoughts for critical thinking and decision making in nursing practice.
