Conceptual Frameworks

Abstract

The growing movement toward specialty certification in nursing has resulted in an increased demand for continuing education that supports specific areas of specialty practice and certification status. In examining a number of the specialty practice core curricula documents, it is evident that there is a tendency to organize nursing content using the medical model as a framework. A method by which core curricula for specialty practice are organized and developed from a distinctly nursing perspective is needed. The authors suggest that conceptual frameworks, developed by nurses who are expert in a specific clinical practice area, are a practical method for the development of such curricula.

Self-confidence of Nurses Philosophy: A Concept Analysis

“…The conceptual framework to support my philosophy also comes from a description of previous experiences of nurses. This conceptual framework diagram emerged based on my perceptions and is supported by many other studies that can be derived from this conceptual framework for my professional career [14], [15], [16]. However, due to time and space limitations, only our initial ideas are presented in this paper.…”

“…The synthesis and development of the basic metaparadigm concepts in nursing emphasize the confidence of nurses as the most important part of today's nursing philosophy, besides that, we also emphasize that society, healthy of environment, and the passenger of nursing care relationships support therapeutic relationships with patients, families, and communities (Figure 1) [12], [13], [16]. All of them are biopsychosocial interactions and each component is interrelated and interconnected.…”

“…Based on this theory, people's lives are influenced by existing social pressures. Thus, the behavior is a response to the social environment, especially regarding community groups that can develop into certain circumstances [4], [16], [19] such as the service at the hospitalas an example, in the surgical ward service has mentions that in this surgical ward, the people can be considered as a society where the nurses in the room will be united by the mutual benefit to provide a level of care to patients who are instructed about their patient care.…”

“…In collaborating with others, nurses must be able to take smart and confident actions so that nurses can make changes for the other people by considering what is good or bad for their health [11], [13], [16], [24], Thus, before we can make others better, it would be wise that nurses have already had good health and high self-confidence at first. Furthermore, nurses must develop caring and smart steps in collaborating with other professionals in nursing care and adjust to the development of the current era of technology that supports healing [24], [25].…”

“…Self-confidence is often referred to as the science of assuming free values in nurses and having great positivist values considering traditional metaparadigms and ethical considerations that are concerned the emotions and not only related to cognitive aspect [16], [17], [20], [26]. On this basis, the development of nursing in the theoretical development needed to be based on an approved scientific view makes progress faster and its development can be seen as an example for other academic disciplines such as medicine and science.…”
