Strength-Based Nursing and Healthcare
Overview
Strength-based nursing is a care approach whereby certain fundamental principles and
values direct nurses’ actions thus enhancing the promotion of empowerment, hope and
self-efficacy (Gottlieb, 2014). SBN focuses on a person and family’s inner and outer
strengths and resources to facilitate health promotion and creation of suitable conditions
for healing (International Family Nursing Association, 2015). This enables nurses to
effectively deal with problems that may arise as well as minimize the discrepancies.
This discussion therefore seeks to outline the SBN care plan that should have been and
those that were implemented throughout Emma’s healthcare journey. Emma’s
healthcare story evidently informs health professionals that love, optimistic mindset and
support can incredibly improve a person’s health and life (Gee, 2018). A further outline
on the SBN care for a patient after going through a surgical operation will be discussed.
Emma went into a stroke after going through a complex surgical procedure. Therefore,
the immediate post-surgery care while Emma was in a stroke will be discussed as well.
A holistic approach, focus on the family and cooperation with Emma will also be
presented. A summary on the SBN care practices will also be discussed before a
conclusion is drawn.
Comprehensive Understanding of Strength-Based Nursing Care
SBN is an evidence-informed practice that ensures that people have support in their
healthcare outcomes and personality (Australian Medical Student Journal, 2018). SBN
appreciates the importance of the environment and sociocultural frameworks in the
realization of an ideal healthcare result. The objectives of healthcare promotion,
facilitation of healing and easing the suffering of patients by making the environment
suitable to the patient’s conditions are endorsed in this care plan (Nursing Centre,
2018). Therefore, SBN supplements the medical care provided, the nurses’ input to the
patient and family’s health and healing and the empowerment of the patient and
family’s control over their health and healing. It not only focuses on the prevention,
well-being and person-centred care but also on the patient’s shortfalls. The patient’s
deficits are analysed based on pathophysiology, paying attention to the unusual and
dysfunctional characteristics with an aim of solving the problems.
The remarkable changes in the healthcare provision services have roused modifications
in economic, political and social environments thus making healthcare managers to
provide new ways of maintaining and improving the delivery of services Trajkovski,
