Jean Watson Theory
The University of San Diego which has the Hahn School of Nursing and Research has a page of many theorist that they use for their research, and Jean Watson is one of them. However, they just have a link that takes you to Jean Watson's web page (Nursing Theory and Research, 2016).

Upon using the search words "Jean Watson EBP Research" I was able to come across a Kristen M. Swanson who conducted research under Jean Watson. Dr. Swanson's research concentrated on pregnancy and early fetal loss. She also did three articles that were based off of Wastson's Caritas. These articles are available on the website, and the article I was interested in was, Translating Caring Theory Into Practice. She also developed her own five hierarchial levels …show more content…
Therefore, I choose to look up the other nursing theory I was interested in by Patricia Benner called From Novice to Expert. My first clinical instructor introduced me to her by reading little experts from her book at the end of day wrap up. Benner believed that a nurse develops her skills over learning evidence - based practices while combining them with her daily experiences to help improve their skills as they grow. This Theory is more about theory applied to a nurse as they venture through their career (Nursing Theories: A companion to nursing theories and models, 2011). Then I decided to use the search words "Benner Theory EBP Research", and by doing this I was able to pull up a current article. This article was, Improving Quality and Patient Safety by Retaining Nursing Expertise, written by Karen Hill. Hill explores the concept if nursing experience results in better patient safety (Hill, …show more content…
I have decided to use the resource of the Academic Resource Center at my college and see if the staff there can help direct be better. I believe that I have been able to find some very useful articles that I am able to use. Yet, I also feel as if it is overwhelming and all over the place.

    Nur/403 Watson's Theory of Human Caring

    Jean Watson, a nurse, who through personal experiences, beliefs, values and, higher education states that the focus of nursing is human caring, According to Lukose (2011) "Caring and the healing task is more heart-centered than conventional nursing practice and extends to examine self and others." The major concepts of Watson's theory of human caring in the caring-healing process has expanded over the years, but based off her theory that it is According to Lukose (2011) "connected with the high energy of the universe."

    Jean Watson

    Jean Watsons Theory was derived in 1979 and revised in 1985 and 1988. The majority of her revisions were made to her carative factors, in which she believes is the concept for the core of nursing (Cara, 2008). According to Suliman, Welman, Omer and Thomas, (2009), Watsons theory suggest that “Caring is a different way of being human, present, attentive, conscious, and intentional. Nursing is centered on helping the patient achieve a higher degree of harmony within mind, body, and soul, and this harmony is achieved through caring transactions involving a transpersonal caring relationship (Cara, 2008).…

    Watson's Theory

    In the latter part of the 1970’s Jean Watson had an idea to create a universal interconnectedness goal that supports healing, to include nurses of all disciplines. Her idea would include a common awareness and connection between nurse and patient. This connection incorporated healing from physical, philosophical, spiritual, and scientific perspectives. Establishing a relationship between nurse and patient would bring deeper conversations, create trusting and tighter bonds, and aid in a more rapid healing process for the patient (Sitzman, 2007).…

    A Review of PTSD

    The lifetime incidence of PTSD is between seven and eight percent (Keane, T. M., Marshall, A. D., & Taft, C. T., 2006). Epidemiology samples across the United States report that 82.8% of the American population has experienced trauma on a level high enough to yield PTSD (Breslau, N. 2009). Despite this large exposure to highly traumatic events less than 10% developed PTSD after the event (Breslau, N. 2009). PTSD is not localized to one demographic, gender, or age,…

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – Treating Our Heroes

    “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an important and well-documented mental health outcome among seriously injured civilian and military survivors of trauma” (Holbrook, 2010) The awareness of this disorder was first recognized as a true psychological disorder in 1980 when it appeared in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, due to the large amount of Vietnam veterans presenting symptoms related to their military service. This disorder is thought to have first been experienced in Vietnam, but “Incidents of post-traumatic stress disorder have been documented as far back as ancient Greece.” (Melchior, 2011) As we enter the twelfth year of combat operations in the Middle East, the incidents of violence surrounding returning Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans is increasing. There has been a dramatic rise in suicides and homicides perpetrated by combat veterans who…

    Post Traumatic Stress Disor

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very important topic because it can affect many people now, and with todays’ society, can be a very touchy but interesting topic. One out of every three troops has been diagnosed with PTSD and less than 40% have found or looked for help. 1 out of 5 active duty soldiers try to commit suicide every day (PTSD Foundation of America). In the mid 1970’s the term was added to the DSM III (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). It was not until 1980 that the term PTSD was formally recognized. In 1987, a revised edition (DSM III-R) was released with a new diagnostic criteria which made a huge impact for our veterans and their diagnosis (Unknown). In 2007, PTSD was at its highest for…
