Health Belief Model

Cengiz, B., Bahar, Z., & Canda, A. E. (2020). The Effects of Patient Care Results of Applied Nursing Intervention to Individuals With Stoma According to the Health Belief Model. Cancer Nursing, 43(2), E87–E96.

This study focused on patients who had undergone stoma resection within the past three months, aiming to assess the impact of home-based nursing care guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM). The research utilized a pre-test, post-test, and semi-experimental control group design, involving 30 patients in the intervention group and 31 in the control group. The study highlighted the importance of follow-up care and consultation based on the HBM to ensure optimal postoperative outcomes. The model proved effective in helping patients overcome barriers to stoma care, enabling them to adopt healthier behaviors. By addressing perceived obstacles and enhancing patient confidence, the HBM facilitated better adaptation to life with a stoma. The study underscored the necessity of integrating models like the HBM in nursing practice to improve patient adherence to care plans.

As a future nurse practitioner, I plan to apply the HBM when educating patients about their diagnoses and treatments. While my patient population may not consist solely of individuals with stomas, the principles of the model are broadly applicable. By identifying potential barriers to adherence and developing strategies to overcome them, I can help patients navigate their health challenges effectively. A structured approach to patient education, informed by the HBM, will ensure improved health outcomes through increased patient engagement and compliance.

Irvine, S., Williams, B., Özmen, M., & McKenna, L. (2019). Exploration of self-regulatory behaviours of undergraduate nursing students learning to teach: A social cognitive perspective. Nurse Education in Practice, 41.

The Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) emphasizes self-regulated learning as a key component of nursing education. This study examined self-regulation strategies employed by undergraduate nursing students involved in peer-teaching within a clinical education setting. Using qualitative methods such as questionnaires and interviews, the study found that participation in structured peer-teaching programs enhanced self-regulation, increased confidence, and contributed to professional mastery. SCT highlights the role of personal agency in learning, demonstrating that students who actively engage in self-regulated learning are more likely to succeed. The theory also suggests that motivation and self-efficacy are critical factors in knowledge acquisition and performance improvement.

As a nurse practitioner student, I recognize the importance of self-regulated learning in clinical practice. To enhance my own professional development, I intend to immerse myself in peer-learning environments during my practicum. The SCT framework supports self-efficacy by promoting motivation, observational learning, and structured feedback, which are essential for clinical competence. This approach will not only benefit my learning but also prepare me to mentor future nursing students, contributing to the broader nursing education framework.

Family Systems Theory

Looman, W. S. (2019). Teaching systems thinking for advanced family nursing practice: A theory-based tool. Journal of Family Nursing, 26(1), 5–14.

This study explored the challenges of educating graduate nursing students about the Family Systems Theory (FST) and its application in advanced family nursing practice. The author introduced the Family Nursing Assessment and Intervention Map (FN-AIM), a tool designed to help students develop family-based interventions. The study involved 30 students who used FN-AIM to map out family nursing processes, focusing on family as both a context and a system. Results indicated that students who engaged with FN-AIM were more likely to incorporate systems thinking into their clinical practice. The study reinforced the significance of FST in enhancing nursing competencies by fostering holistic patient care approaches.

As a future nurse practitioner, I recognize the importance of developing a strong cognitive and emotional foundation in family systems thinking. Utilizing tools like FN-AIM will enhance my ability to implement holistic care strategies that address family dynamics and health-related behaviors. By integrating FST into my practice, I can ensure that my approach to patient care is both comprehensive and patient-centered, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for individuals and their families.
