Comment

Nursing assessments provide insight on what patients understand about their health status, what more they need to know and their redness to learn are the initial steps when developing an individual care plan (Ashton & Oermann, 2015). Discussing with the patient and establishing learning goals, including them in the teaching and education time line will create an opportunity to have them feel like a participant in their health care. Assessing the environment, distractions, prioritizing nursing care to allow time to sit down with the patient and give undivided attention to that individual and the family members or support who is included in the education. Information being provided should be at a six-grade reading level, visual or hands on models demonstrate skill in a encouraging environment using eye contact and allow involvement of patient, family members, and friends who can help reinforce learning material and praising or rewarding patients allows them to feel empowered to provide self-sufficient care (Smith & Zsohar, 2013). A care plan should have measurable objectives that cater to the patient’s individual needs specific to their health condition, age, cultural beliefs, education level and motivation to want to learn.

Comment

As educators, nurses must teach patients according to all learning styles and be aware that other variables are likely to present that affect patients’ ability to learn. Because of this, the important task of patient education is often challenging for health care providers”. Education is continuous throughout the whole nursing process. The first and most important point is to assess patients before education, include age, education level, mental attitude regarding health status, cultural beliefs, motivation, and knowledge of current health status. Nurses should have good communication skills. From the aspect of the patient, we can build trust and a therapeutic relationship with the patient. Everyone’s’ understanding and acceptance are different. Also, styles of learning are different too, they can approach a learning situation through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and read/write in which is the most useful choose can enhancing to learning for them. We need to provide appropriate learning methods depending on the patient to enhance acceptance outcomes. I had given discharge instructions to two different patients. One patient said that I can read it by myself, another patient that I have to read and explain it for him. When they all accepted the discharge instruction, the feedback was very good at both of them. The nurses as an educator who is not only knowledge education to patients, the more important that is feedback, through feedback information to check whether it reaches the expected goals of education or not. Of course, our education target is not just a patient. The education of family members, groups, communities, and populations that is also very important, so the patients can be more supervised and monitored. “The nurse can improve patient satisfaction and outcomes by implementing quality educational interventions based on the patients’ specific educational needs. Several theories and models aid in explaining and initiating health promotion behavioral changes. The family systems theory relates to the structure and function of the family unit”.

Paragraph 1

As a nurse our responsibility is to make sure our patients understand what we educate them on because that causes better outcomes for the patients we care for. Strategies we can implement besides learning styles is looking at the patient has a whole. Nurses should like and consider the emotional, the physical, the spiritual and how willing they are to learn and if encouragement is needed to complete the plan of care or help the patient understand what they need to know prior to discharge. Another strategy is starting to teach the patient as soon as they are admitted because now and especially in a hospital the patient is admitted and then discharged in such a short time that we don’t get to teach as much as we should anymore. I personally feel behavioral objectives should consistently be used because anytime health promotion/teaching is part of the plan of care then this typically is going to lean towards the changing the of unhealthy habits or even adding in healthier habits.

Paragraph 2

The nurse has many roles and responsibility during a shift. The nurse is a friend, a confidant, an advocator; but one of the most important roles is a health educator. Nurses providing quality, individualized, education can increase patient outcomes (Smith & Zsohar, 2013). The teaching is not just for the patients but their caregivers as well. The patient’s caregivers can be family, friends, or hired personal staff. Before teaching should begin, it is important for the nurse to address any language or cultural barriers that could affect the patient’s ability to learn. It is vital to ensure the patient and caregivers have their seeing or listening devices on prior to delivering education. From personal experience, it is quite frustrating to teach the patient and caregivers only to find out their hearing aids were not in place. The formulate an individualized care plan, the nurse needs to assess the patient’s current knowledge about the disease and address any misconceptions the patient may have about their disease (Ashton & Oermann, 2014). This can be done by asking open-ended questions about their current knowledge of their medications or the knowledge they have about their disease process. The patient may not believe something is happening internally because he/she is not physically injured or they do not physically feel anything wrong. Patient’s may know the disease process but not the repercussions of not following their care plan. For example, a Type 1 diabetic not monitoring their blood sugar daily. The patient may not be aware of what can happen systemically. Assessing the patient’s willingness to learn. The Type 1 diabetic could be a teenage girl with apprehensions about monitoring blood sugar at school. The apprehension can affect the patient’s optimal outcome. The nurse will have to modify the approach when teaching this patient. Behavioral objectives would need to be utilized for this patient due to the at-risk behaviors which could lead to deteriorating health condition

Paragraph 1

A health promotion model that can initiate behavioral changes is the family systems theory. This theory looks at the family rather than everyone within the unit. This theory looks at how each individual member affects the whole family as one. Behavioral changes come when a new member is added like a birth, when a loss has happened such as a death or when a member becomes sick and other members must pick up and carry forward with the daily duties. This model helps teach and promote health and behavioral changes by allowing the whole family to make the changes as one instead of individuals. From personal experience some barriers I have seen in the short time I have practiced being a nurse is cultural barriers, hearing or seeing impairments and the inability to read or understand what is being taught. Another big barrier is that as nurses we typically explain or give written instructions and do not use the patients learning preference when teaching important topics that these patients need to know to initiate behavioral changes. A patient’s or even a persons readiness and willingness I feel highly affect the learning outcomes because people will not learn if they do not feel the need or want to learn what is being taught and this will just make the nurse and patient both frustrated and eventually just give up all together.

Paragraph 2

In all cases, nurses should teach and advise patients by promoting behavioral changes in their current lifestyles and encouraging them to reduce behaviors that could put them at risk and could cause illness or worsen chronic conditions. Nursing and other healthcare Together professionals can influence rising healthcare costs by promoting positive behavioral changes in patients and reduce dependence on the healthcare system (Edelman, Kudzma and & Mandle, 2014)”. First, we have to assess the condition that the learning needs of the patient, and any barriers to learning that might exist. The barriers that affect a patient’s ability to learn is a variety of complex factors such as culture, environment, language, education level, age, mental attitude regarding health status, cultural beliefs, and knowledge of current health status. According to the learning needs and abilities of different patients who have tailored teaching plan can be formulated. For example, the people who have diabetes, we need to provide diabetes knowledge to patients to understand the dangers of complications and prevention. Explain the occurrence and development of diabetes, inform the complications of diabetes caused by an uncontrolled diet and exercise. Adjust the diet, exercise, and insulin or oral medicinal dosage according to the doctors’ concerns for the patient’s situation. Recognize the normal range of glucose, and regularly check the amount of glucose tolerance whether it is effectively controlled. Prevent hypoglycemia and carry sugar with patients when they go out. Pay attention to the harm and prevention of diabetes complications. At the same time, it is necessary to allow the patient to give feedback information, and it has been determined that the patient has indeed absorbed what has been learned so that the expected goal of learning can be achieved. As nurses, we should work with other health care providers. Develop a plan that lists measurable learning goals to identify expected behavioral changes that will be measured based on the learning process. Goals should be stated behaviorally, specifying the desired outcomes and incorporating them into the care plan. A behavioral goal is to describe the actions that a patient will learn to promote healthy behavioral changes.

VARK Analysis Paper

Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete the following:

  1. Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire scores.
  2. Once you have determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.
  3. Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).
  4. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
  5. Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (750‐1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

  1. Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.
  2. Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
  3. Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with learners.
  4. Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?

Paragraph 1

Today’s family reaches beyond the traditional definition and encompasses societal units of single-parent families; lesbian , bisexual, gay, transgender, queer, and questioning (LBGTQ+) families’ children raised by grandparents or other relatives; multigenerational units; and people who are together out of friendship and love, not bloodlines”. It is important to understand the family dynamics of the patient, their roles and relationships so nurses can better understand family structure and their involvement. Involving families in care and education can enhance patient compliance. Family members can affect health of an individual based on their social characteristics, culture, the influences from their neighborhood, community and society (Sharma, 2013). Health seeking behaviors and preferences may also be influences by family structure and the changing dynamics of family composition can impact lifestyles and heath related risk factors (Sharma, 2013). Nurses have a powerful position to create a therapeutic relationship with patients and families and involving those who influence the health and wellbeing of an individual in efficient, quality health care (Ponte, et al., 2007). Nurses who are confident in their ability to acknowledge family structure and what patients and families need, can successfully implement actions to encourage high quality care. “The family influences on each other can be engaged to assist patients and family members make choices and changes for better health”

Paragraph 2

The definition of “family” has evolved over generations and expanded from the traditional male and female married couple and their children living under one roof to that of the modern way in which people are interacting with each other and carrying out relationships. Coinciding with the way people are relating to one and other today, the definition a family has broaden to “societal units of single-parent families; lesbian, bisexual, gay, trans gender, queer, and questioning (LBGTQ+) families; children raised by grandparents or other relatives; multi generational units; and people who are together out of friendship and love, not bloodlines. The form and function of the family dynamics directly influence the overall health of an individual. This is why understanding the different family structures and not assuming the “non-traditional” structure will enable the nurse to make accurate assessments on the health care needs of the individual as well as identifying gaps to meeting those needs and formulating a plan while honoring their preferences, beliefs and values. Understanding the family structure will give the nurse insight to the plan for aftercare and how well the goals will be met in the home setting. The family systems theory takes a look at the family as a whole system rather than individual members to study the family processes and problems. However, each family member has their own individual role, feelings, behaviors and goals that influence the rest of the family. Considering the family system will help nurses understand the interaction of the family because any “modification by an individual within the system can change the family’s finances, health, housing, communication, and dreams. Once a change is made within the member of the family then the dynamics in the whole system start to shift, which can result in either positive outcomes for everyone or create stressors and tensions for the other members to adapt to. Involving the whole family in the assessment and planning of care will create an environment of support and encouragement, promote education and increase the probability of healthier, positive behaviors.
