Case Study Theory Pender

You as the advanced practice nurse are working in a community health center. Your next patient is Mrs. Richards,  a 39 year-old Caucasian female, presenting to the clinic with a history of Hypothyroidism, Depression, and recent history of Substance Abuse (Heroine Use). During the initial interview, it is revealed that her husband and two children were killed in a traffic accident 8 months ago and she reports using illicit drugs since their death.

Based on your knowledge of the Health Promotion Model, make a chart and/or diagram that outlines all components of the theory and how the theory can be applied to this case study to formulate a plan of care for this patient. Also, list one scholarly, practice-based resource (article and/or clinical guideline) that supports the application of the Health Promotion Model in clinical practice. Case Study Theory Pender

Reading Assignments

Chapter 23: Pamela Reed’s Theory of Self-Transcendence

Reed’s self-transcendence theory. Pamela Reed defines this concept as the expansion of the self-conceptual boundaries in a three-dimensional way. According to this theory, people can be seen as open systems and the only obstacle between them, and self-transcendence is the boundaries they set for themselves.

Applying Reed’s Self Transcendence Theory to modern day nursing practice is best understood through the application of these case studies. The theory has best utilization within specialties such as post-partum or psychiatric nursing disciplines. Please review and take time to draw from these experiences.

Chapter 24: Patricia Liehr and Mary Jane Smith’s Story Theory

Story Theory is a middle-range theory put forward by Mary Jane Smith and Patricia Liehr in 1999. They believe that stories are an essential part of nursing practice. They believe that stories are just as important to diagnose and treat as the physiologic bodily responses of the patient. Patricia Liehr and Mary Jane Smith were middle range theorists who developed the story theory. The duo team believed that story telling had the potential to aid in the healing process of patients. The story theory is believed to be life experiences that connect people and time, which is expressed through who people are, where they have been, and where they will be going in life. Applied through qualitative research, this theory serves its purpose by guiding nursing practice and research by inheriting stories and health experiences that is important in process of healing for nurses and their patients. An assumption of this theory includes how experiences of the past and future affect the present moment, also known as the here and now. Case Study Theory Pender

Nola J. Pender’s Health Promotion Model: (click on the following link for readings on this model)

The Health Promotion Model was designed by Nola J. Pender to be a “complementary counterpart to models of health protection.”. It defines health as a positive dynamic state rather than simply the absence of disease. Health promotion is directed at increasing a patient’s level of well-being.
