Caring Practices in the 21st Century: Holistic Practice and Evidence-Based Practice, A Dialectic | |||
| Learning Objective #1: Explore the processes and patterns of evidence-based and holistic praxis research to inform advanced holistic nursing practice | |||
| Learning Objective #2: Explicate the potential for both evidence-based and qualitative research methods to capture the dynamics of health care issues for patients and advanced practice nurses in a variety of modern day practice settings | |||
| This symposium presentation focuses on the praxis of holistic advanced practice nurses exploring the use of multiple patterns of knowing and approaches that inform patient care in a variety of patient settings (Pediatrics, Family, Adults/Aging). An overview of the challenges facing advance practice nurses today will be given followed by a discussion of evidence based practice and holistic caring practice as goals for caring practices in the 21st century. This presentation will present the use of narrative, aesthetics, ethics, and outcomes research to capture the dynamics of healthcare issues of patients and nurse practitioners in modern day practice. No longer viewed as advanced practice nurses who use only the medical model to inform their care, these practitioners invite you to imagine the possibilities for enhancing caring practice in the 21st century. This presentation will illuminate how holistic caring practitioners differ in their approach and practice to address the needs of patients in everyday practice. A dialectic regarding outcomes versus caring praxis will be highlighted. | |||
