THE BASIC CONCEPT OF THE THEORY IN NURSING PRACTICE

A.    Nursing Practice

Nursing services as a professional service is a service that is humanistic, implemented based on the science and tips oriented to the objective needs of the client either individually, family, group, community and society based on the ethics of the nursing profession.

Nursing is an applied science that uses a variety of knowledge, concepts and principles from various science groups. The nurses use the foundation of science as a guide for rationalization developed by the nurse themselves, so nurses can know what, why and how nursing care should be implemented or provided to clients. The success of a professional nurse in providing nursing services is very dependent on his ability to synthesise these various sciences and apply them into a form of professional service. So far we have emphasized the idea that knowledge is a vital important aspect of nursing. Every thing we do as a nurse is based on knowledge.

Understanding of nursing knowledge requires an insight into the various components contained in nursing knowledge and describes the nursing knowledge itself. In order to understand the relationships of the various components, the understanding of each component is necessary to underlie the relationship analysis of several components:

B.    Science

Science is a collection of experiences and knowledge-from a number of harmonically harmonized people in a regular building. This existing science consists in part from the knowledge that has been verified through the research, but some still in the form of knowledge that is still doubted the truth that still requires testing through further research. To harmonize the harmonics of science in the orderly buildings it takes the body of science which is the basis of science which provides a rational rationale for everything done by the nurse. The body of science is shaped through philosophy, concepts, theories and processes.

C.     Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of wisdom, the fundamentals of knowledge, and the processes used to develop and embrace the view of a life, so that philosophy can consist of logic, the laws of reality, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics and epistimology.

Philosophy gives insight and implies the belief system and belief, so that philosophy will affect the behavior and attitude of the individual in everyday life. Someone will develop his philosophy through learning from interpersonal relationships, the experience of formal and informal education, religion, culture and environment.

The purpose of the philosophy is to present an image of scientific knowledge that is formalized or applied in a logical principle. The logical principle provides a link between a systematic scientific statement for all scientific knowledge. The philosophical orientation of knowledge is naturalistic and empirical. This orientation involves exploring, explaining, and classifying phenomena through a process of observation and direct examination.

Nursing philosophy is a basic belief in nursing knowledge that contains the basic understanding of human biology and its behavior in a healthy and sick state that focuses on their response to the situation. So the nursing philosophy almost universally has a holistic belief about humans who emphasize that humans have an impossible integration in analysis to be a small part, but humans need to be studied simultaneously at various levels and perspectives of physical, psychological, self-knowledge , The purpose of life, the environment, and so on.

Nurses, nursing education and nursing services institutions in providing services, educating and cooperating with others will be tailored to a trusted and trusted philosophy through concepts that are believed.

Nursing philosophy is a statement of beliefs about trust and manifestation of the values ​​in nursing used to think and act (Chitty, 1997). Nursing philosophy builds on the beliefs about human, environment, health, and nursing as contained in the nursing paradigm.

D.    Concepts

Concepts can also be called ideas, namely abstract impressions of the environment organized through real symbols. For example the concept of the object, properties and events and others. A collection of these concepts will constitute a conceptual framework or conceptual model composed of abstract and general ideas and prepositions that specify the relationship between them.

E.     Process

Process is a stage for implementing actions from a conceptual framework or a theory to achieve a goal. In carrying out these stages the phases should be selected systematically and implemented on the basis of the assessments that have been carried out. The process of nursing consists of theories and concepts. The application of nursing care with a nursing process approach, is established by each institution by developing selected concepts and theories.

H. Theory of Nursing


Barnum (1990), suggests that the theory of nursing is an attempt to describe, explain the phenomenon (processes, events, events) about nursing. Nursing Theory can distinguish between nursing with discipline and other activities in providing services to achieve goals by describing, explaining and controlling the outcome criteria that have been established in the implementation of nursing care.
