First recognized by Erickson, Swains, and Tomlin, the Modeling and Role-Modeling Theory is useful in caring for the geriatric patients as it guarantees the improvement of their health outcomes. Nouri et al. assert that the three theorists intended the theory to be effective in providing patients with a chance to contribute immensely in their care. Indeed, Koren and Papamiditriou provide evidence, which indicates that this model is useful as it can improve the health status of people significantly. A detailed description of this theory, objective of the practicum and justification of the timeline can provide much insight into the practicum experience.
Modeling and Role Modeling Theory
The Modeling and Role-Modeling theory focuses on the experiences of patients and their contribution to their health care. According to Nouri et al. the model ensures that nurses facilitate the efforts of individuals to attain and maintain their health status. According to Koren and Papadimitriou , the Modeling and Role Modeling Theory explains the commonalities and differences among people. One of the commonalities is holism, which refers to the bio-psycho-social aspects of an individual. However, according to Koren and Papadimitriou , the model indicates that individuals have differences involving factors such as stress, self-care, and adaptation among others. Nouri et al assert that nurses must consider these factors in modeling, which refers to understanding the client's perspective about his health and environment. Moreover, nurses must utilize the factors in remodeling which involves helping an individual to attain, maintain, and promote health. Thus, this model is essential for my practicum experience as it considers the client in enhancing the nursing care process.
Practicum Goals and Objectives
1. I will conduct patient assessments of elderly clients using subjective and objective methods under the guidance of my preceptor to identify and manage common diseases among them such as chronic bronchitis, obesity, and diabetes mellitus.
2. I will utilize the Modeling and Role Modeling Theory to involve geriatric patients in their care through educating them how to avoid a sedentary lifestyle, stop smoking, and improve their health-seeking behavior.
3. I will utilize my critical thinking skills and the evidence-based approach to identify differential diagnoses among the seniors and rule them out so that I can provide rational interventions to address patients' problems.
4. I will increase my competence in performing head to toe assessment in the elderly clients under the mentorship of my preceptor.
5. I seek to understand and use various diagnostic tools to determine the correct diagnoses of the geriatric patients so that I can provide the most appropriate treatment.
6. I will use the Modeling and Role Modeling Theory to ensure culturally competent care in the elderly and refrain from violating their values and beliefs.
7. I will develop a therapeutic relationship with the geriatric patients, which will be significant in including the patients in caring for their needs.
8. I will use an evidence-based approach in adjusting various dosages in the elderly patients to avoid the adverse effects associated with medications.
9. I seek to use the subjective and objective examination to identify potential health problems in the elderly, which will help me to develop prevention strategies for the patient and my preceptor to prevent the development of such risks.
Timeline and Justification of the Objectives
Nine weeks will be sufficient for me to meet my objectives, which I believe will enhance my practical skills in nursing. Most importantly, the objectives will address the needs of geriatric patients because they are at risk of developing various diseases. Indeed, Siegler et al. assert that few healthcare providers fully understand the health needs of the elderly. Similarly, Kouta et al. claim that most healthcare providers have challenges understanding the health needs of geriatric patients, particularly mental ones. Thus, the objective and subjective assessment under the guidance of my preceptor and the use of the Modeling and Role Modeling Theory will be useful in providing appropriate care to such patients.
Conclusion
The Modeling and Role Modeling Theory can be applied in my current practice as it will focus on involving the patient in nursing care. The preceptor will also be helpful in guiding me to achieve the objectives thus enhancing my practical skills. Most importantly, the goals will focus on managing elderly clients who are vulnerable to many diseases. I believe that this practicum will be a rewarding experience not only for me but also to my patients and my preceptor.
