WATSON MODEL AND CASE STUDY1
“Every individual has a source of light inside them which should be used to light the
darkness which is present in those people whose light has suppressed”
It means that when people grow old, they lose the power to do the roles in the same
active manner, which they used to do 10 years earlier. Due to this reason, every person must help
each other in times of darkness (Shrivastava, Shrivastava & Ramasamy, 2013). The following
article will reflect on the case study of Philip, who is an 85-year-old man and has been admitted
to the Geriatric Emergency Management (GEM) Team at St. Joseph’s Hospital. According to the
diagnosis, it was observed that he is going through severe psychological disorder, especially
depression, for which he has lost interest from everything and does not feel energetic. The
following study will use Watson’s philosophy and theory and explain how the Meta paradigms -
person, health, environment, and nursing will be applied to the care scenario of Philip. The
article will also develop new insights for Philip.
Jean Watson's theory competes for that caring benefits, restores life energies, and
increases the potentiality of individual capabilities. The welfares are inestimable and indorse
self-actualisation for both professional and personal levels. Caring is considered a mutually
beneficial experience for both nurses as well for the patient and among the health team. She
found concern, love for others and self, and respect towards spirituality as well as kindness as a
part of philosophy and theory (Saleh, 2018). In the case scenario provided, it had been noticed
that Philip had undergone a sudden change in his attitude. The nurse, who had been proctoring
him, is confused about his difference in nature and wants to find the reason. The change in
Philip’s nature has assumed that he might be going through some difficulty, which he is unable
to share. The theory of Watson would help the nurse to develop concern and kindness towards
Philip so that he can be comfortable enough to share such a problem (Fantin et al., 2019).

WATSON MODEL AND CASE STUDY2
The Meta paradigms of nursing include human beings, health, and the environment.
Human being explains the concept that a person needs to be cared for as well as nurtured,
assisted, respected, and understood. A patient need not be divided depending on the mind, body,
and spirit (Branch et al., 2016). According to this concept, Philip needs to be treated gently. He
must not be neglected. He is 85 years old with grandkids. Anne informed that Philip had stopped
enjoying with his grandchildren and decreased social interaction. Therefore, the nurse must
check the cause of the change. The nurse needs to nurture and respect the patient and be soft
towards him. This might make Philip comfortable, and he can share his feeling. This would help
the nurse for further treatment.
The health concept of Meta paradigm states that there needs to be harmony and unity
within the body, soul, and mind. Health perspective varies from person to person; however, it is
the duty of the nurse to see it from the patient’s perspectives. Therefore, the nurse needs to
analyse Philips problem from his point of view. The nurse must communicate to Philip, and if
Philip is ready for the treatment or sharing the cause of his treatment, then they need to proceed
with it. However, it is advisable that the nurse must maintain co-ordination with patient choices
and views (Deliktas et al., 2019).
The environment is another robust factor Meta paradigm. It states that nursing exists in
every society that includes external and internal factors. The nurse is considered to be a part of
the environment and must ensure that proper care and heal the environment leading to
transformative measures. In the case study mentioned, that Philip has undergone a sudden
change in nature, which needs to be checked. It is assumed that he is going through some
emotional difficulty at his old age. It can be predicted that if he receives proper care and love
