I My beliefs about persons, health, and environment are: Persons (Individuals, families, communities): every person should be treated equality and professionally. Patient care includes those who are sick as well as their families. The healing process includes all of these; individual, families as well as community. Health: A healthy individual can be sick physically, in order to heal the whole person must be well. It is not was is just wrong with a person physically that makes them healthy or unhealthy. The mind and soul must also be treated and must remain healthy in order for a person to heal. Environment: Environment is just as important to healing as community or families. In order for holistic healing to take place the patients enviornment should be a positive one with optimistic surroundings. My beliefs about the outcomes of nursing: Nursing must be a holistic approach to healing. The whole patient must be attended to; mind, body and soul. My beliefs about how to facilitate health: Health can be facilitated by supplying support during the healing process. How will I live out my philosophy in practice? I will live out my philosophy in practice by giving support to my patients whenever needed. I will also treat the patient holistically; assisting with healing mind, body and soul. |
