Serebrovasküler Olay Geçiren Bir Olgunun Henderson Hemşirelik Modeli’ne Göre Değerlendirilmesi: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

The discipline of nursing consists of 3 basic elements as the theory, the research and the practice. These elements, in interaction with each other contribute to the development of the science of nursing. Thus, nursing is a discipline of health which aims to comprehend the situation of human both in disease and health and focuses on its needs. Fundamental purpose of a professional discipline is forming and enhancing the content of scientific knowledge which can be used in the practice of the profession.   One of the ways of enhancing the knowledge proper to nursing is the utilization of nursing models in care and testing them in the research. However, it is stated in literature that implementing nursing process without taking a nursing model as a basis fails to clarify the care practices and turns them into mechanical tasks. Cerebrovascular Event (CVE) is a disease which demands a good observation, a continous assessment and a comprehensive care. In CVE, with the habits that are peculiar to a healthy life style, a proper theraphy and a good nursing care, the changeable risk factors can be eliminated; the secondary cases can be avoided or diminished; also the complications that may arise after the disease can be prevented. In this paper our purpose is —by using Henderson’s Model of Nursing in patients with CVE—  to set a pattern which may contribute to overcome the incompetencies of the nurses as to understand the theories and apply them to the care. Besides, the newly acquired knowledge might make a contribution to the nurses’ understanding of this group of patients, and through implementing that knowledge —it’s hoped— some amount of improvement in the quality of life of patients could be attained.
