Science of Unitary Human Beings.

Peer Response Length: A minimum of 150 words per post, not including references Citations: At least one high-level scholarly reference in APA per post from within the last 5 years Peer Post: Nursing theory and nursing theory in practice are likely experienced from the first and initial clinical rotations and didactic learning sessions. It is also likely that several theories might be applicable to single nursing phenomena whether that be a particular clinical scenario that is unique to nursing and to any aspect or function of nursing including patient advocacy, education or practical nursing tasks and duties. On the other hand, an RN might be hard pressed to apply a potential theory to a nursing process or experience. Young inexperienced nurses as well as seasoned nurses might not even be fully aware or cognizant of any applicable theory which might speak to and even guide their work in any given setting even though most nursing functions likely fall under the framework of a nursing theory. Theories that this author has experienced through application or implementation through nursing work primarily in hospital settings include Kurt Lewin’s field theory of change which stems from a psychology perspective as some might consider Lewin a father of modern psychology and Martha E. Roger’s Theory of Unitary Human Beings which shares similar concepts to Lewin’s theory regarding the “field” that individuals share with their environment. Though other more practical theories might be noted in this post such as Watson’s Science of Caring Theory or Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory, it is the prior noted theories that are noted here because of particular interest due in part to the duality of both tangible and intangible interpretations and applications of these theories. Kurt Lewin’s field theory speaks to change theory which proposes that a patient’s (human behavior) behavior stems from factors pertaining to both the environment and the individual specifically evaluating the patterns of interaction between them.  Understanding the root causes (or lack of) can help to then weaken or strengthen the factors related to a behavior with the goal of bringing about change that is applicable to individuals or processes within a system, such as a health care organization. Lewin’s change theory includes three stages of change, first the unfreezing in which a need for change is initially realized and includes doing away with current, old practices, second is transition period in which new ideas are incorporated and third is a refreezing in which the new practices are solidified as the new norm (Shirey, 2013). Though this theory can be applied to achieve change towards best practices in a variety of settings, the theory is also applicable towards promoting change within individuals for the purpose if gaining well-being and improved health outcomes. This theory can be helpful to patients in a variety of settings including mental health patients whom I work with on a regular basis. Understanding the past physical (including drug use) and psychological trauma of patients will assist in fostering a patient based, therapeutic relationship on which many of the other treatment goals can be implemented from. It is often difficult to demonstrate some of the Grand Theory ideas such as Rogers: Science of Unitary Human Beings. Within this theory, nurses seek to advance and promote patient health and wellbeing based on the results of interaction between patient and the environment (this is similar to some tenets of Nightingale’s philosophy) and are therefore considered a single unit depicted as the mutual human-environmental field process (Aranha, 2018).  Reflecting on day to day work as a staff RN in various med/surge units as well as the behavioral health units, I don’t always see the connection or relevant correlation between some of these concepts and practice. It is increasingly apparent however the beneficial role that nursing theory plays towards improving and building on nursing practice.  It is important for nurses to continue to advance research and education to help narrow some of the gaps between nursing theory and nursing practice (Mackey & Bassendowski, 2017).     Aranha, P.

Discuss what management should emphasize in order to develop the organizational culture.

Case Norway Hotell Norway Hotell is a hotel chain that currently operates 38 hotels in cities and towns in Norway. Since its inception in 1972, it has had a formidable development. The goal has been to become a leader in the course and conference market, and the company has invested considerable resources in developing a hotel concept that is adapted to this market. However, the hotel chain has struggled in the last two years with a declining number of guest nights in an increasingly demanding market with increasing competition. All the hotels that are currently included in the chain are conveniently located in terms of both accessibility, local sights and activities. From market research, the company knows that offering an eventful framework around the events can be crucial to becoming a first choice among course organizers. All hotels have their own staff who are helpful in planning and tailoring both events, activities and excursions according to the customer’s wishes. In all hotels, emphasis is placed on modern comforts in all rooms and on good, flexible course and conference facilities. Many pleasant lounges and living rooms in connection with meeting and conference rooms give guests a good opportunity for relaxation and informal gatherings during breaks. All hotels have restaurants known for their good food. The business idea is that after a strenuous day, guests should be able to enjoy a varied restaurant offer that can satisfy even the most difficult requirements. In its marketing, the hotel chain places emphasis on presenting Norway Hotell as the natural partner for course and conference organizers. In addition to the hotels’ good facilities, all the skilled employees are highlighted who can guarantee security and peace of mind regarding the professional activities. In addition, it is promised that in addition to professional activities, the employees’ competence is the customer’s guarantee that the course will be remembered as successful for a long time. Inside the company, emphasis is placed on making the employees at all hotels understand that the best marketing is satisfied customers. Employees are therefore constantly reminded of this: “The individual course participant must be given special attention, so that he or she does not experience himself or herself as ‘just one in the crowd’. This should affect all the details (such as that the coffee is served hot at the agreed time) that should be arranged during the stay, from the guests are received at the hotel reception until they check out. This presupposes a strong customer orientation, cooperation, coordination and service attitude in all parts of the organization. ” The management of Norway Hotell is concerned that in the hotel industry one must apparently learn to live with part-time workers and a relatively high “turnover” among the staff. Both among hotel and restaurant staff, it is seen that it is not uncommon for employees to orient themselves towards other jobs and further education after a relatively short time. Many are dissatisfied with the salary, others quit because they find working conditions stressful, or because they do not think the job gives them anything special. Others quit for family reasons. This means that you are completely dependent on skilled managers who can motivate your employees, and that managers choose to stay in the company, which is a challenge to achieve. The management is concerned with its value set in the company, and it is stated that the company must be as much human-oriented as business-oriented towards all employees. Top management says that it sees as its most important task to contribute to developing a holistic corporate culture that is adapted to the company’s business challenges. TASK The task is to make an analysis and interpret Norway Hotell based on the information in the description above and prepare the following: 1- Name the artifacts you expect to find in your business. Make up your mind about what values ​​you think it is natural for this company to have, and what the norms may consist of. 2- Based on Schein’s basic assumptions and the seven dimensions, discuss each of the seven dimensions as you expect them to be understood, thought and felt in Norway Hotell. 3 Finally, discuss what management should emphasize in order to develop the organizational culture. The answer must be theoretically based, (Jacobsen & Thorsvik)
