Clinical issue
Nurses often face clinical issues while dealing with older patients with dementia. One of the
most common clinical issues is non-cooperation of patients with dementia.
Application of the 6Cs theory of nursing to address the issue
● 6Cs theory
6Cs theory of nursing helps in addressing clinical issues. Application of this theory to engage
patients in treatment process are mentioned below,
Care: This factor is the core of solving this problem that can help to improve the condition of
the person. As opined by Chambers & Ryder (2018), caring helps to increase satisfaction rate
of patients and they receive proper care that they expect. The patient suffering from dementia
was not able to share proper information and non-cooperate with care providers and
sometimes become aggressive. Proper care and comfort can help to relieve them from
suffering.
Compassion: Compassion allows nurses to understand the perspective of dementia patients.
According to Cummings, Sheen, Kinsella, Peate & Alexander (2015), nurses need to put
themselves in the situation of the patient to understand their perspective. It helps to identify
an effective solution to engage dementia patients in the clinical process. Sympathetic pity for
the suffering of the patient must be there in nurses while dealing with dementia patients. This
approach may help nurses to make patients believe that nurses are their well-wishers and they
understand their issues.
Courage: For handling patients suffering from advanced stages of dementia, it is essential for
nurses to have proper courage. Courage can help them to do the right thing for concerned
patient. As stated by Mackintosh-Franklin (2016), courage helps care providers to gain
personal strength and archives a vision to innovate new ways of working.
