Reaction World View: Human as the bio-psycho-social-spritual beings. People respond to external environmental stimuli in a linear, causal way. Human beings are viewed as inherently very still, reacting in a reactive way to external environmental stimuli. Behavior is viewed as a straight chain of cause and effects,or stimuli and responses. Change happens just for survival and as a outcome of predictable and controllable precursor conditions. Change happens just when the human being must adjust behaviors to survive. Only objective phenomena that can be confined, watched, characterized, and measured are studied. Knowledge is developed only about objective, quantifiable phenomena that can be secluded and observed, characterized in a solid way, …show more content…
People are active, and interactions between human being abnd their environments are reciprocal. The individual is viewed as intrinsically and spontaneously active. The individual and the environment connet in a reciprocal way. Change is a function of numerous antecedent variables, is probabilistic, and may be consistent or may be just for survival. Changes in behavior happen all through life as the aftereffect of multiple factors within the individual and within the environment. Reality is multidimensional, context- dependent, and relative. Both objective and subjective phenomena are contemplated throught quantitative and qualitative methods of inquiry.
Simultaneous Action World View: Unitary individuals are recognized by pattern. The individual is more than and different from the whole of parts and is perceived through patterns of behavior. Individuals are in mutual rhythmical interchange with their environments. The individuals change constantly, unpredictable, and toward more complex self-organization. The phenomena of interest are personal knowledge nad pattern recognition. It is inner encounters, emotions, values, thoughts, and choices of

This pattern of knowing is critical for nurses, because they are constantly seeking to identify forces that stand in the way of maximum health and well-being for all people. It emphasizes the universal human desire for liberation. Praxis is the process of emancipatory knowing, and it requires both critical reflection and action.
Ethics : The moral component of nursing
- It provides a framework of how nurses should conduct their practice. It inquires experiential knowledge of social values and ethical reasoning. The main focus is on matters of obligation, what ought to be done, right/wrong and responsibility, ethical codes of nursing, confronting and resolving conflicting values, norms, interests or principles.
Personal knowing: The self and other in nursing
- It is concerned with becoming self-aware (genuine Self) that grows over time through interactions with others. It is utilized when nurses engage in the therapeutic use of self in practice. It is most fully communicated as an authentic, aware, genuine self. It is the basis of the therapeutic use of self in the nurse patient
Philosophy of Nursing Introduction Nursing is a discipline that is guided by philosophical orientations that create a base for the development of nursing theories that translate into clinical practice. McEwen and Wills (2014) state, “rather than focus on solving problems or answering questions related to that discipline, the philosophy of a discipline studies the concepts that structure the thought process of that discipline with the intent of recognizing and revealing foundations and presuppositions” (p. 6). Nursing philosophy embodies knowledge acquisition and cultivates professionalism within the profession. Through philosophy, nurses have gained knowledge and have discovered the true value of nursing practice.
It is vital that all nurses have a professional and ethical responsibility to ensure that their knowledge and
The Environment Can Control In times of difficulty, individuals tend to change who they are. For example, when one tends to grow up and go through the stages of adulthood, they change their ways in which they act or think. Situations and environment are able to control and manipulate an individual. Situations can become so severe that they can lead to savagery in one’s individual environment.
Assignment 1: Seven Perspectives The behavioral perspective focuses on observable behaviors that are learned from the environment. Behavior doesn’t deal with mind, thoughts or an emotion it is all based on how a person behaves and reacts to things at the moment of what they are doing or being ask something. A person’s environment takes a big role in behavior. Psychology shouldn’t be based on the mind if not it should be observable and measured of the behavior.
The person, who is describes as a bio-psycho-social being in constant contact with a changing environment. The person uses innate and acquired mechanisms to adapt. The model includes people as individuals, as well as in groups such as families, organizations, and
Although one’s behavior can be the same as others, especially if they are in the same setting, however those who are in two completely different contexts will experience different reactions, just dependent on exactly where they are. Furthermore, this theory demonstrates that once we have been in a specific setting long enough, then that’s when our behaviors will become consistent over time. On the other hand, individuals might experience particular actions because they arrive at a specific setting, with an already preconceived idea of what to expect causing them to alter their behaviors based on their thoughts about the background. Another reason might be that we adjust our responses because we are unsure of how others might view or accept us being in their environments. Either way, individuals might not be aware of it, but once our surroundings change, then our behaviors is changed as
A nurse must keep up to date on education and new processes in health-care, so they can provide the best care. As a nurse, you have promised to give each of your patients the best care that can possibly be given. Nurses must follow a code of ethics, to act safely, provide ethical care no matter how they feel about the patient or the reason they are in your care. Following this code of ethics shows your commitment to caring for people and society, it is a guide of ethics and standards to follow to keep everyone safe. Nursing is also a wonderful opportunity to meet hundreds of people from almost every nationality and every walk of life.
It could not know or describe the real reason that based on individual nurse. This evident related to the three component of moral integrity (Carter, 1996). There are included discernment, consistent act, and public justification. It related to thinking, feeling, and doing in professional nurses to represent one of nursing care.
Desmond Marris is a zoologist, who studies animal behaviors. Since humans are known as mammals, he decide to do a study on humans as if he is studying animals. He studied humans in their nature, their home, park, office, just their environment. Marris sees himself as a man watcher, he watches people just as birds watches humans. He analyzes their natural behavior, which occurs all over the world.
Providing care to a patient is a particularly challenging process that requires a great deal of effort from a nurse. A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future. As such, nurses must exhibit specific qualities in their practice in order to maintain the best standard of care for their patients. Given this, I believe that the standards of knowledge, advocacy, and self-awareness are foundational to the nursing practice and to a nurse’s capacity to provide quality patient care. Knowledge
Intertwined with theories of sensation and perception are the theories of
The topic of this assignment is to discuss and analyse what factors affect human behavior and in doing so how human behavior is shaped. But before discussing that, it is important to understand what human behavior is. To define it in a few sentences or words would not be sufficient as human behavior consists of many factors and therefore contributes majorly to who we are as a person. But to put it simply, it is defined as all actions and emotions that an individual portrays in response to the different kinds of stimuli they receive no matter whether these responses are conscious or subconscious and voluntary or involuntary (Merriam-webster.com, 2015).
The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind, pg. 76 If there is a recognizable corresponding change in the condition of their life or our own, then we have proven the responsive nature of our
It also includes not doing anything--remaining in an observation position. While we are behaving in those modes, we continue to record information and perceive what data means to us personally. As that happens, new decisions are made for the way we will interact with the stimuli. Finally, we interact with the environment.
Psychology is the science of behaviour and is concerned with perception and learning. The behavioural patterns of organisms and how they adapt to changing environments is of particular interest to psychologists. In the past psychology was based mainly on introspection. The assumption of early behaviourists, such as Pavlov, was that all behaviour was essentially of the same form (George, 1971). Humans are social animals, we share this feature with many other species (Gallese, 2001).
