PATIENT EXPERIENCES AND PARTNERING IN CARE1
Introduction:
patient experiences and partnering in care are corelated with the each other. Partnering
with the patient while providing care is proved to improve the patient experience (Duffett, 2017).
This essay focusses on the experience of the patient, where they have been involved in their
treatment. The case scenario that has been selected for the essay is of 40 year old man named as
jack, who had a disc rupture. the Florence nightingale nursing philosophy has been mentioned in
the essay, which primarily grounded on the basis of providing caring and safe environment for
the patient in order to reduce the mental as well as physical well-being of the patient. the code of
conduct that has been discussed in the assignment is the patient dignity. The standard 2 of the
National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards, which is partnering with consumers is
also detailed in the essay along with the Erikson’s 8 stage framework.
Body:
Nursing philosophy is demarcated as the belief or value of the nurse that should be kept
in mind during the treatment of the patient (Mackintosh-Franklin, 2016). Florence nightingale
nursing philosophy is one of the most common nursing philosophy that aims to provide caring
sand safe environment to the patient to improve the well-being of the patient (American Nurses
Association. (2019). In the case study, it is observed that the nurse aimed to provide high quality
care to the patient based on her values, beliefs and ethics. The patient got proper care by the
nurse which not enhance the patient experience but also impacted positively on the health of the
patient.

PATIENT EXPERIENCES AND PARTNERING IN CARE2
According to the principle of the code of conduct of the nurse formulated by the Nursing
and Midwifery Board (2019), patient centred care is one of the most effective method to enhance
the patient outcomes, which is evident in the case of jack. At each and every phase, the nurse
considered the patient’s preferences and needs for better treatment.
According to the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (2019),
partnership with consumers have a direct impact on the health of the patient. The patient must be
involved in the decision that has been taken related to the treatment of the patient (Keohane et
al., 2018). In the case study of the jack, he was involved in the care and he himself chose
physiotherapy over surgery.
Erikson’s 8 stage of psychological development includes (Klimstra & Denissen, 2017)
Trust vs Mistrust: In the first stage, the nurse gained the trust of the jack and the doctor
has gained mistrust.
Autonomy vs shame/doubt: In this stage, the patient started saying about his preferences
and the needs that is he chose physiotherapy over surgery.
Initiative vs guilt: The patient took the initiative to go for physiotherapy and will take it
seriously for faster recovery.
Industry vs inferiority: at this stage patient started comparing with the other individual,
who are able to walk on his own.
Identity vs role confusion: At this stage, the patient identified that he can recover, if he
will take the physiotherapy seriously.
