Explain why you chose to watch this particular theorist’s video.
It was intentionally chosen to what the presentation by Kelly O’Neil and Mindy Bryant on Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Framework has been selected because of its importance in nursing education and practice. As a pioneer of nursing theory, Dorothea Orem is known for her self-care model that has transformed the modern healthcare landscape today. To enter this video corresponded with a sincere desire to learn more about Orem’s framework and its implications for various nursing contexts. As presenters, the perspective and specialist knowledge of O’Neil & Bryant promised to take a closer look at the self-care model by Orem. (ONeill, 2019) This presentation provided a unique platform to learn what effects and impacts nursing theories, especially Orem’s theory, have had on the nurses’ day-to-day practices. In selecting to view this specific video, I strived to gain a more comprehensive understanding of nursing theories, appreciate the intricacies inherent in Orem’s self-care model, and determine its significance under modern conditions where nurses provide care. This decision was fueled by a legitimate desire to resolve the mysteries of a theory that will remain embedded in nursing.
Describe the parts of your philosophy where you agree or disagree with this theorist.
While certain aspects of the Self-Care Framework by Dorothea Orem resonate with my nursing philosophy, there are other areas where I have different views. I agree with Orem’s viewpoint on empowering individuals by self-care. My values involve empowering the patients to be active participants in their well-being and are consistent with this recognition of individuals for being accountable towards one’s health. (ONeill, 2019)Further, Orem’s emphasis on personalized care resonates with my belief in individual approaches leading to better and more meaningful healthcare intervention; however, there is a departure when it comes to the primarily physical nature of her approach. Integrating emotional and psychological issues, I want to note the need to focus on the physical aspects of care. Mental and emotional components of well-being are integral parts underplayed by Orem’s framework. (Shibboleth Authentication, 2021)
However, my approach emphasizes cultural competence and diversity, noting that a patient’s culture influences their healthcare needs. While Orem’s model is elaborate, it overlooks the subtle aspects of cultural differentiations and diverse views since this lack constitutes an essential part of delivering fair nursing care. (ONeill, 2019) In short, while Orem’s Self-Care Framework offers a good base model, I enhance it further through an integrative holistic, patient-centered, culturally competent approach that considers the reciprocal process of physical emotions and culture when delivering nursing care.
Is there anything that surprised you in the video? If so, what surprised you?
The depth to which Orem has influenced nursing education and practice was a surprising feature of the video presentation ‘Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Framework by Kelly O’Neil and Mindy Bryant. As I knew of Orem’s importance to nursing theory, the speakers shed light on how far her impact was, especially in clinical settings. Learning about Orem’s roles as a Dean of the School of Nursing and curve model consultant for different institutions and government agencies revealed its practical applicability in various healthcare settings. This clarification astonished me because it emphasized the permanence of Orem’s ideas and their inclusion in standard nursing education and clinical practices. (Shibboleth Authentication, 2021)
Moreover, an unexpectedly exciting aspect was the focus on patient-oriented care within Orem’s framework, as presented by the presenters. The emphasis on reinforcing recovery and healing based on a patient-focused approach was remarkable by challenging the belief that medical interventions are at the forefront. (ONeill, 2019)This focus on patient’s active involvement in their care and healing, as uncovered by the video, turned out to be a paradigm shift worth my surprise. It led to a review of the balance between medical intervention and patient autonomy in healthcare practice, thus adding another layer to my understanding of the Orem Self-Care Framework.
