CHAPTER 1 THE ESSENCE OF NURSING

After reading this chapter, you will learn:

About the essence of nursing;

About the need for a holistic approach to health;

About some models explaining the concept of “health”;

On nursing deontology and the content of Florence Nightingale's oath.

Concepts and terms:

disease - a change in the physiological, psychosocial and spiritual state of a person, which leads to a decrease in his ability to self-care and a decrease in life expectancy;

personality - the social essence of man;

"Not do harm" - ethical principle non-harm;

basic human needs - conditions for growth and development: physiological, psychological and social needs necessary to maintain physiological balance, mental and social health;

nursing intervention (action) - assisting the patient in moving towards an optimal level of health in any given situation through planned care (using the nursing process) and providing appropriate interventions;

holistic - holistic;

code of ethics for nurses - principles formulated by representatives of the nursing profession for nurses in each country. This code is periodically revised and updated with new concepts and advances in the health care system. It is most often promoted by professional nursing associations, and is also presented in the code of ethics of the International Council of Nurses.

1.1. NURSING AS A PROFESSION

The content of nursing has changed over the centuries, just as the needs of society and living conditions have changed. Today it is very difficult to unequivocally answer the question of what nursing is. Currently, there are many definitions of this concept. Each of them was derived under the influence of a number of factors: a specific historical period, socio-economic level and geographical location country, the need for nursing care, the number of nurses and the duties they perform, the views and experiences of the person that explain the meaning of the term. If you ask people of different ages, any profession and strata of society define what nursing is, we will get different interpretations.

The first scientific definition of the specialty “Nursing” was given by F. Nightingale in “Notes on Nursing” (1859). She believed that nursing is "the act of using the patient's environment to promote his recovery." At the same time, the goal of nursing care was formulated as follows: “Create for the patient the best conditions for activating his own strength" Under " best conditions"F. Nightingale meant purity, Fresh air, proper nutrition. Calling nursing an art, she believed that the art required "organization, practical and scientific training." F. Nightingale was firmly convinced that “at its core, nursing as a profession differs from medical practice and requires special knowledge, different from medical knowledge.” One of the definitions of nursing belongs to the American nurse, teacher and researcher Virginia Henderson. The International Council of Nurses in 1958 asked her to formulate the meaning of this term and write a book about fundamental principles patient care. It was called "Basic principles of patient care" and was translated into 25 languages. The definition of nursing given by W. Henderson in 1961 is still relevant today.

W. Henderson argues that the unique task of a nurse is to assist a person, sick or healthy, in carrying out actions related to his health, recovery or peaceful death, which he himself would undertake if he had the necessary strength, knowledge and will. The nurse carries out this work, helping the patient to carry out all the appointments prescribed by the doctor and quickly gain independence. She is a member of the health care team, contributing to others (as they do to her), and participating with colleagues in planning and executing a complete program of action - be it disease prevention, recovery or support for the dying. None of the team members can assign such heavy responsibilities to another that will interfere with the performance of direct functions. No medical personnel should be distracted from their primary task, despite the need for cleaning, recording, filing, and other activities. All medical workers must understand that the central figure is the patient, and they are all called to serve him. The efforts of the care team will be in vain if the patient does not accept or participate in care. How rather a patient will be able to take care of himself, monitor his health and follow doctor’s orders, so much the better. This view of the nurse as a substitute for what the patient lacks in being “whole,” “intact,” or “independent” may seem somewhat limited. However, it is not. It is difficult to achieve this goal, so the tasks and functions of a nurse are very complex.

How rare is it to find people mentally and physically “safe and sound”? To what extent is good health inherited and to what extent is it acquired? It is believed that the level of mental development and education is associated with health status. And if good health is difficult for most people to achieve, then it is much more difficult for a nurse to help a person achieve this goal. She must simply “step into the shoes” of each patient to understand his needs. “The sister is either conscious or unconscious, sometimes loving life, sometimes inclined to commit suicide. A nurse is the legs of the legless, the eyes of the blind, the support of a child, the source of knowledge and confidence for a young mother, the mouth of those who are too weak or self-absorbed to speak.”

At a meeting of national representatives of the International Council of Nurses (New Zealand, 1987), the following formulation was unanimously adopted: “Nursing is integral part health care system and includes activities to promote health, prevent diseases, provide psychosocial assistance and care to people with physical and mental illnesses, as well as the disabled of all age groups. Such assistance is provided by nurses both in medical and any other institutions, as well as at home, wherever there is a need for it.”

At the I All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference on the Theory of Nursing (Golitsyno, 1993), the following definition of nursing was given: “Nursing as part of the healthcare system is a science and art aimed at solving existing health problems in changing conditions environment» .

1.2. NEW CONTENT IN NURSING

“Much has been created and written about the fact that every woman shows herself well as a sister of mercy. “I, on the contrary, believe that these basics of care are almost unknown,” wrote F. Nightingale in “Notes on Care.” These words were spoken more than 100 years ago, but even today the idea of ​​nursing as a profession is constantly changing. This specialty arose and exists to serve society. The role of medical personnel depends on social conditions and health care needs.

Much has been written about the role of F. Nightingale in the development of nursing. After the Crimean War, she made an attempt to cheat on me -

information about the place and role of the nurse in medical practice. Thanks to her active life position and dedication, huge changes took place in views on the nursing profession. She suggested changing the system vocational education, a new theory of patient care, hygiene techniques. Her activities were aimed at preventing diseases.

For a long time, nurses only carried out doctor’s orders. They were strictly forbidden to make independent decisions about patient care. However, the development of nursing and the struggle for human rights in the world, including in our country, have become an incentive for change in one of the main medical professions. The nurse becomes more independent in her activities.

Until recently, nursing was largely intuitive or experiential in nature (with nurses relying more on practical, often routine experience or observation than on scientific research). Through trial and error, the nurse found the remedies that would help the patient, and many nurses became professionals through their accumulated experience caring for patients.

Previously, nursing received scientific basis either from the field of medicine (general medicine), or from the field of physiology, biology, psychology, sociology. Nursing now strives to create its own unique knowledge base. Some aspects of patient care practice are not fully developed and are decided on an intuitive level, but the basis of the scientific approach in this area has already been established and will continue to develop. It should be borne in mind that “the pace of development of nursing depends on practice, so significant variations can be observed between its different areas, as well as its characteristics in different countries... At various times, nurses performed (and still perform) the work of doctors, nutritionists, cleaners and clerks... All this creates confusion in understanding the unique role of the sister,” wrote F. Nightingale. According to her, one can come to the conclusion that nursing means caring for a person, and not just solving his medical problems - “it is better to know a person in a certain condition than to know the condition itself that brings him suffering.”

The time when a nurse's job consisted mainly of helping the patient wipe the sweat from his face is coming to an end. Today she still follows the doctor's orders, but is becoming increasingly independent in making independent decisions.

Dr. T. Billroth wrote: “To be able to help someone who is suffering is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful abilities that a person has. But nevertheless, the “help” must be elevated to “art”, it must combine knowledge and skill if one wants to achieve its full beneficial effect on oneself and others.”

Indeed, nursing today is both an art and a science. It requires both understanding and the application of special knowledge and skills. Nursing is based on theory and practice created on the basis of the humanities and natural sciences: biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, etc. The nurse assumes responsibility and acts with appropriate authority, directly performing professional responsibilities, and is responsible for the medical services it provides. She has the right to decide for herself whether she needs further education in management, teaching, clinical work and research, and to take steps to meet those needs. The mission of community nursing is to help individuals, families and groups develop and maintain their physical, mental and social potential regardless of changing living and working conditions. This requires nurses to work to promote and maintain health, as well as to prevent diseases.

New nursing is the need to change the basis of current practice. The organization of nursing activities is based on the implementation of doctor's orders, on care that pays attention to the individual needs of the patient.

New concept will replace the long-established hierarchical and bureaucratic system of organizing nursing with a professional model. A highly qualified nurse practitioner must have sufficient knowledge and skills to plan, implement and evaluate the results of care that meets the needs of an individual patient. At the same time, special emphasis is placed on the unique contribution of nursing care to the recovery and restoration of the patient’s health.

Mission and functions of a nurse

The history of medicine shows that patients needed and received care and treatment long before nursing officially became a specialty. Until the end of the 19th century. in the West and until the 30s of the XX century. in Russia, family members usually cared for sick relatives on their own, and hospitals were intended only for the poor or people with significant mental disabilities. And today, the family is still the most accessible “health service” in the world.

Recently, the concept of the functions of a nurse has changed. If earlier it was focused on patient care, now the nurse, together with other specialists, considers main task maintaining health, preventing diseases, ensuring maximum independence of a person in accordance with his individual capabilities. However, in most countries, including Russia, inpatient care and treatment are still considered preferable.

In fact, F. Nightingale wrote in “Private Notes” about the need to change this function of the nurse: “My view on this question ... is that final goal"The whole of nursing consists of caring for the sick in their own home... I look forward to the abolition of all hospitals and... infirmaries... However, it is useless to talk about this until the year 2000." And indeed, more than 100 years after the book was published World organization Health launched the global program “Health for All by the Year 2000” in 1988.

What is the mission of a nurse? It is about helping individuals, families and groups to determine and achieve physical, mental and social health in the changing environments in which they live and work. “This will require nurses to perform certain functions that promote and maintain health, as well as prevent diseases. Nursing involves the planning and implementation of care during both illness and rehabilitation, affecting not only the physical, but also the psychological and social aspects of a person's life that make up his whole. All these aspects affect to some extent a person’s health, illness, disability or death.”
