INTEGRATION THEORY: Paper for a Nursing Situation Synthesis
Through a thorough explanation and education of one of the patient’s prognosis as well as his
requirements during their hospital stay, his mother was able to grow as a caregiver. A person's spiritual,
emotional, and physical conditions are all integrated into a dynamic state of health, according to Duffy's
theory. I was able to recognize the stress she was putting on her baby, not only because the ICU
environment was stressful, but also because she was anxious and insecure about the system and the
hospital environment her son was in. I realized that the situation was not conducive to healing by being
present in baby J's room and attending to his needs.
The quality-caring model places a greater emphasis on caring values, attitudes, and actions (Duffy,
2018). This was evident in the nursing situation, where I served as the patient's point of contact with the
medical staff. Additionally, recognizing the patient's need for "feeling cared for" and "counted on" as
well as her own need for care enhanced the nurse-patient relationship and ultimately contributed to a
positive and high-quality interaction between the patient and the healthcare system. Different ideas of
the quality-caring model incorporate self-propelling systems, practice improvement, people in a
relationship, social limit, as well as relationship-focused proficient experiences. Relationship Between
the Quality-Caring Model and Other Nursing Theories. The quality-caring model and Ray's transcultural
nursing ethics are related in that they both stress the need for care to be provided. For instance, in the
nursing situation described above, the quality-caring model calls for a nurse to act as a link between the
healthcare team and the patient.
In contrast, moral reasoning and judgment would have been required by the transcultural ethics theory
(Ray, 1994). In addition, the quality-caring model theory equips nurses with knowledge about the rapid
changes in the healthcare delivery system. In the nursing situation, one was required to choose honesty
and fidelity when keeping promises. In terms of transcultural ethics theory, it provides nurses with the
following information: with the necessary abilities to thrive in the ever-evolving healthcare industry.
Nursing ethics, for instance, helps nurses implement, maintain, and evaluate professional development.
Additionally, Madeline Lininger's theory of culture of care diversity and universality incorporates human
survival and well-being. According to Smith & Parker (2015), the approach provides nurses with cultural
values that enable them to comprehend a patient's circumstance. Both patient care and health
outcomes benefit significantly from this.
Particularly, nurses' primary concern is culture, which influences the human expressions of care. Nurses
need to be culturally competent in order to provide excellent, individualized care. Most of the time,
patients respond positively when they feel valued and at ease. As a result, Leininger's theory provides
guidance in numerous nursing contexts. For example, the theory makes it easier to become aware of a
situation and learn about a patient's intentions in the hopes of providing better care, especially patient-
centered care. However, nurses feel compelled by Leininger's theory to learn more about their patients
(Smith & Parker, 2015). Accordingly, attendants participate in meaningful discussions with their patients
