How Do You Apply Principles and Theories From the Sciences Humanities and Arts to Tne Nursing Care

"Sick children, if not likewise shy to speak, will always express this wish. They invariably prefer a story to exist told to them, rather than read to them. — Florence Nightingale

The revitalized focus on the patients' perspective in healthcare provides an added impetus for the contemplation of the patient experience. Nursing Humanities aims to provide a qualitatively robust approach to enhance patient-centered care competencies of hereafter nurses through dynamic programming that purposefully synthesizes the art and science of nursing, humanities, narrative medicine, and interprofessional education

The plan is designed to enrich the educational activity of nursing students through the application and tillage of aesthetic patterns of knowing. In addition to evidence-based practice, aesthetic knowing has been recognized for many decades as a valid and indispensable component in the development of ethical comportment of nurses and the ontological evolution of the nursing profession. However, in a 2010 report on the land of the science of nursing education, Benner and colleagues reported that nursing programs are accounted not generally effective in engaging the students in pedagogical strategies that integrate social sciences and the humanities.

The discovery of the nature of mankind, caring, health and disease, and interprofessional collaboration is supported by programming including:

  • Thematic museum and gallery tours
  • Viewing of relevant live performances
  • Thematic discourse led past visiting experts in nursing, humanities, narrative medicine and interprofessional instruction
  • Interprofessional Workshops at the confluence of health and the humanities

Nursing Humanities is supported by New York University'southward Curriculum Development Claiming Fund.

Nursing and Humanities

The integration of the humanities increases the abilities for nurses to run into the patient holistically, enhances understanding about self, increases sensitivity to the voices of others and facilitates alternate ways of learning (Smith et al., 2004). Nursing, after all, is not philosophy, history, fine art, or literature; it is not a social science. Notwithstanding, these humanitiesare included in nursing at all of its levels and manifestations (Drummond, 2003).
