Partnership Care Nursing: A review of two Peer-reviewed Journals on Care Nursing

macrocosmThe concept of teamwork in health and social business has a large literature. For instance, a policy developed by the Department of Health in 2007 mainly focused on eradicating inequalities in health serve well proviso through partnership works between primary occupy providers and otherwise social c ar agencies. Todays healthc ar service emplacement demands teamwork, which is particularly true for nurses who have to deal with multiple of factors during their professional service provision. On the same breadth is the increase call for more endurings matter in their health, including on the right to make decision and seek juristic support on the basis of their health. In other words, all uncomplaining receiving health administer run, including premeditation for service is entitled to be actively problematical in their own attending. The philosophy behind partnership working in treat is based on several concepts and principles empowerment, autonomy & right s, power-sharing, information sharing, respect, make informed choices, and paternalism. The aim of this paper is to analyse ideas from two different articles by different authors on the topic of care for, particularly on the partnership working in nursing.DiscussionsArticle I Patient participation in nursing care towards a concept clarification from a nurse positioningIn their tuition, Patient participation in nursing care towards a concept clarification from a nurse perspective Sahlsten et al. (2007) explored the evolution of diligent participation, a concept that has not just now gained strong transformation overtime, save also brought with it more challenges on definitions and dimensions of patient participation. The authors used focus pigeonholing inter ideas to collect data, conducting open interviews on the selected seven groups. darn the data assemblage took five months to accomplish, the exploreers were able to uncover the respondents perspectives in depth. While the focus group interviews may have mainly focused on the meaning and implementation of patient participation in line with the playing fields aim, the results can clearly reveal what nurses value roughly in scathe of patient participation. Respondents rated equal partners participation, co-operation, and shared responsibility as the most significant factors in relational nursing (Sahlsten et al., 2007, pp. 635-636).While the aim of the study was to explore the meaning of patient participation in the nursing care from a nurse perspective (Sahlsten et al., 2007, p.632), the review of other authors works reveals a plethora of issues in the nursing care and partnership working. The nurse-patient relationship is con placementred palmy when both parties view each other as partners, with the nurse ask to use professionalism, knowledge and positive ideas in the implementation of nursing care plan. Patient, on the other hand, is expected to have the intellectual ability to read and mak e the right choices with regard to their own nursing care. The authors, however, faults the incongruence relationship between studies conducted in relation to patient participation on one side and definitions, elements and coveres in literature and practice on the other side. Although there are a lot of empirical literature on nursing theories and patient participation, the authors claim that no empirically grounded theory has ever been established, calling for significant insight into more studies related to the concept of patient participation in their own nursing care. The authors claim that the traditional approach where patients were mere receiving system of nursing care has changed, and subsequently replaced by the more active patients who are directly involved in their own care. More importantly, patients participation only when means the opportunity for them to participate in their own care, with regular change as the situation may demand.Article II The relational cente rfield of nursing practice as partnershipJonsdottir, Litchfield and Pharris (2004), while exploring the relational bone marrow of nursing practice as partnership, focused their analysis on the evolving relational core of nursing care in the backdrop of increased technology use and outcome-oriented approaches. The three authors, unlike their previously outlined counterparts, only focused on critical review of the available literature, espousing the role of evolving conversation between nurse and patient in terms of partnership nursing and care. While technology is considered in the positive side in terms of medical breakthroughs, experts and general observers alike have associated it with distraction in health care services that need personalised attention including nursing (Jonsdottir, Litchfield and Pharris, 2004, p.241). In retrospect, the authors claim that the distracted modern nurse sees patient as a problem rather than partner to be attended to, consequently obscuring the m ankind of nursing experience.To emphasise on the need to correct the deteriorating relational nursing concept in the perspective of partnership, Jonsdottir, Litchfield and Pharris (2004) outline and analyse various research studies that backs the need for nurses to be real partners through presence, care, and attentiveness in every stage of care nursing. The authors categorically state that the patients need medical sermon as priority, but emphasis should also be given to proved holistic approaches to care nursing, which studies have revealed to be equally significant in the overall healthcare. The focus on holistic care nursing should gum olibanum be based on dialogue between nurses and patients, for example, where the power should be in a position to explain to the latter why a certain procedure or activity is necessary in the process of care nursing.ConclusionWhile the two set of authors had different approaches to their respective(prenominal) work, both articles exemplifies harmony in terms of the need for partnership care nursing. One may, however, notice that the former article largely referred to partnership in the perspective of increased patient participation in own care nursing. The latter article mainly focused on partnership as a dialogue between nurse and patient. It is prudent to state that the former authors focus on patient elevation is largely due to diachronic background of healthcare service provision that pushed patients to the periphery of their own health. Nonetheless, the variety in semantics and approach notwithstanding, the two sets of authors agree that both patients and nurses need to collaborate, and view each other as partners rather than either one caller feeling superior to one another. After all, it is common knowledge in the health care cycle that post-modern health and social care services requires more than the post-wars one-size-fits-all approach that dominated the universal health care service provision more than fif ty decades ago.
