Being able to articulate your personal worldview can help you formulate a personal philosophy of practice and enhance your influence on patients and the industry. In this assignment, you will have an opportunity to reflect on your current and future practice, and the ways worldview and nursing theory influence that practice.   

Draft a 1,000-1,250 word paper in which you:

1. Describe your personal worldview, including the religious, spiritual, and cultural elements that you think most influence your personal philosophy of practice and attitude towards patient care.
2. Choose a specific nursing theory that is most in line with your personal philosophy of practice and approach to patient care and discuss the similarities. Explain how the nursing theory reinforces your approach to care.
3. Include in your explanation a specific example of a past or current practice and how your worldview and the nursing theory could assist you in resolving this issue.
4. Finally, explain how your worldview and the nursing theory will assist you in further developing your future practice.

Application: Using the Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom Continuum

Application: Using the Data/Information/Knowledge/Wisdom Continuum

Have you ever gone online to search for a journal article on a specific topic? It is amazing to see the large number of journals that are available in the health care field. When you view the library in its entirety, you are viewing untapped data. Until you actually research for your particular topic, there is little structure. Once you have narrowed it down, you have information and once you apply the information, you have knowledge. Eventually, after thoughtful research and diligent practice, you reach the level of wisdom—knowledge applied in meaningful ways.

Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom.

To prepare:

Review the information in Figure 6–2 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.

Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.

PS: Area of Practice- PAEDIATRIC NURSING

Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?

Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.

Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need.

Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?

Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.

How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:

1.     Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.

2.     Identify the databases and search words you would use.

3.     Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into useable knowledge.

4.     Can informatics be used to gain wisdom? Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.

Your paper must also include a title page, an introduction, a summary, and a reference page.

This article proposes a philosophical foundation for nursing informatics in which data, information, and knowledge can be synthesized by computer systems to support wisdom development. The authors describe how wisdom can add value to nursing informatics and to the nursing profession as a whole.

The author of this article provides justification for the use of a standardized nursing language, which will be necessary for incorporating electronic documentation into the health care field. The author defines standardized language in nursing, describes how such a language can be applied in a practice setting, and discusses the benefits of using a standardized language.

This article explains the nursing management minimum data set (NMMDS), which is a research-based minimum set of standard data for nursing management and administration. The article describes how the NMMDS can be used to minimize the burden on health care administrators and increase the value of electronic health records within the health care system.

Re:Topic 1 DQ 1

                The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a large deficit in the nursing profession between the present time and 2025 (American Traveler, 2013). Because of the increasing number of nurses who will retire and the surge of Baby Boomer’s growing medical needs, it is predicted that by 2025, 260,000 nursing jobs will remain unfulfilled!           This will certainly have a profound impact on the nursing profession and on the public in general. Inadequate staffing, a result of the nursing shortage, will cause an increased burden upon nurses who are asked to take heavier assignments with less help. As a result, nurses may experience high-stress, exhaustion, burnout, job dis-satisfaction, and even abandonment of the nursing profession (AA of Colleges of Nursing, 2017). Nurses may have to work longer shifts under more stressful conditions; this can lead to injury, fatigue, and medical errors.  Patient neglect may occur and the quality of care suffers.

            Many are concerned that the upcoming nursing shortage will directly affect patient care and safety. Studies and statistics show that in facilities whereby nurses are assigned more than four patients, greater adversities occur. For example, it has been shown that nurse burnout is associated with increased rates of infection, readmissions, and mortality rates (AA of Colleges of Nursing, 2017).

            We may ask ourselves: what is being done to prevent this impending problem? Many initiatives to prevent a nursing shortage are currently underway and include university, statewide, and government programs. One very interesting project by the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company is called the “Campaign for Nursing’s Future”. Begun in 2002, the campaign includes a $50 million nationwide initiative designed to recruit new nurses and college faculty. Other goals of the organization include an enhanced image of nursing and the encouragement of nurses to remain in their profession.  Over the years, the campaign has raised $20 million for nursing grants and scholarships and has distributed over 32 million brochures and pieces of recruitment literature to schools, hospitals, and career centers. The campaign makes extensive use of the media and even released three television commercials in 2011! They have a comprehensive website at www.DiscoverNursing.com for those who are interested.
