Description
Requirements:
Description of the Assignment
This assignment presents a modified method for conducting a Self-care concept analysis. This concept must be supported by a published nursing theory. The selected Self-care concept is identified and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application as demonstrated through the creation of a model case. Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed. Scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis.
Criteria for Content
- Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept: Self Care
o Defines/explains the concept using scholarly literature (a dictionary maybe used for this section only)
o Support from nursing literature is required.
2. Defining attributes:
o A minimum of three (3) attributes are required.
o Support from nursing literature is required.
Explanation: An attribute identifies characteristics of a concept. For this question, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are identified and discussed.
- Antecedent and Consequence
o 1 antecedent of the selected nursing concept.
o 1 consequence of the selected nursing concept.
o Support from nursing literature is required.
Explanation: An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that happens before an event. An antecedent precedes a selected nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an event. The selected consequence follows or is the result of the selected nursing concept.
4. Model Case
o 1 Model Case is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas:
- Definition
- All identified attributes
- Theoretical Applications of the Concept
o Explain how the concept applies to the selected nursing theory.
o Support from nursing literature is required.
- Reflection
o Reflect on how the concept analysis findings apply to your advanced nursing practice, specifically as an NP.
o Self-reflection may be written in first-person.
