Areas of weakness related to nursing theory include humanistic learning, behaviorist
learning, cognitive learning, classical organizational, and neoclassical organizational
theories.
2. What have you completed to improve on the topic of “Nursing Theory”?
I have started making flashcards and I really feel it is helping with retention of
information. Also, I have been identifying the stem of the question and dissecting it.
This has been most helpful. I have completed readings and note taking over the
following theories:
Humanistic learning theory
Focuses on a person-centered approach and stresses the importance of feelings.
m
er as
The subjective human experience of each person is seen as being of value, and human
co
eH w
relationships depend on being spontaneous, authentic, and empathetic. The goal is to
o.
rs e
help individuals express their inner creativity, reach full potential, and strive for personal
ou urc
growth. The Humanistic Model of Nursing is an approach to nursing that encompasses
o
several individual theories, including Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert Model of
aC s
vi y re
Nursing and Jean Watson’s Theory of Caring (Peterson, 2017).
Behaviorist learning theory
Supports that learning is based on associations people make between stimuli
ed d
and responses, and the belief that life is a matter of habit that requires minimal thinking.
ar stu
What is learning can be unlearning by modifying the stimulus conditions in the
is
environment or changing the response to stimuli. Behaviorism is a philosophy of
Th
psychology, which has an influence on the understanding of mental and behavioral
aspects of life. Behaviorist theory is based on the concept of learning which refers to a
sh
somewhat permanent change in behavior or knowledge due to the experience (Butts &
Rich, 2017).
Cognitive learning theory
