ROACH’S 6C’S AND NURSING CODE OF CONDUCT BY NMBA
Introduction:
The 6C’s developed by sister Simone
Roach includes six important aspects
with the help of which nursing
professionals are able to provide
quality and effective care to patients
(Roach, 2013)
These six aspects of the personality
could help the nursing professionals
to comply with the NMBA codes of
conduct.
Within these, three of the aspects
would be discussed in this poster and
these are Compassion, competency
and confidence.
Compassion
Compassion is a personality trait that
helps people to be considerate and
compassionate towards people and
presence of this in nursing professionals
increases the quality of care. This would
help the nurses to emphasize with their
patients and they would be able to
understand their sufferings and hence,
would implement kind and compassionate
care for their improvement (Archer, 2017).
As per van der Cingel (2014), compassion
helps nursing professionals to relieve
patient’s and their anxiety, stress, and
depression that they suffer from due to
prolonged care process.
Further, as per Drury et al. (2014),
compassion is the effective mean using
which healthcare professionals could
Develop effective communication, as
thorugh effective communication
compassion towards patients and the
healthcare process is witnessed.
Compassion and nursing code of
conduct
While complying with the nursing code of
conduct 3.2 and 3.3, nursing professionals
should acquire the compassion related code of
conduct (Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2019).
These codes mentions that while providing care
to patients the nursing professionals should be
respectful and competence in implementing
culturally safe care process. Further, as per this
code of conduct, development of culturally safe
and compassionate care would help to
eradicate discrimination from the care process.
Besides these, nursing professionals also
require compassion to comply with code 3.3 as
it mentions that while communicating with
patients nurses should adopt a non- judgmental
and respective approach so that patients could
develop trust and believe in the care process.
(Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2019)
They should also be compassionate for their
colleagues as it would help to develop an
improved and effective care environment for
people around them.
Confidence
Confidence is a self- attributed and self-
developed aspect of one’s personality that
helps them to overcome extreme conditions
and they would be able to comply with any
process without any doubt.
As per Samawi, Miller and Haras (2014),
nursing professionals having confidence related
attribute are able to comply to the codes of
conduct and are able to identify or highlight the
shortcomings of the process. Thereby, are able
to comply to the NMBA standards for quality
and secure care process.
Further as per Kim et al. (2014) it helps to
develop a honest and trusted relationship
between carer and patients so that application
of care could benefit their health effectively.
Association of confidence with
NMBA codes of conduct
While complying to the NMBA code of conduct
2.2, 2.4 and 3.4 nursing professionals should be
confident.
As per 2.1, if the patient's family members are
unable to make decision for their patient, then
nursing professionals should be confident to
make decision for the care process
(Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2019).
As per the code 2.2, they should have the
confidence to reflect upon their adverse care
process so that improvement could be done.
As per 3.4 code of conduct, they should have
the courage to escalate any action of bullying,
harassment and other discriminations so that
effective environment could be evident.
(Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2019)
Competence
Competency is one of the important aspect of
personality, the inclusion of which in nursing
professionals could help them to acquire evidence-
based and relevant knowledge important for
effective and quality of patients.
As per Betancourth et al. (2016), nursing
professionals should have ability to accept new
processes, evidence based practices, comply with
the processes and healthcare informatics so that
care process could comply to the NMBA guidelines
so that effective and accurate care could be
provided.
Association of competence with
NMBA codes of conduct
Nurses need to follow the NMBA codes of 3.2 and
2.2 that mentions about importance if respectful
and compassionate behavior and should be
compatible of making decision for the healthcare
improvement of the patients
(Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2019).
Nurses should be able to comply with competency in
ensuring decision making as per the code 2.2.
hence, as per this, they should be able to comply
with new care process, respectful care process,
ability to maintain effective care communication and
others.
Nurses further should be able to comply with code
3.2 so that development of cultural awareness and
cultural knowledge could be obtained and long term
benefit to the patients could be provided
(Nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au, 2019).
