NR500 week 3 discussion:

This week's topic focused on caring and reflective practice in contemporary
nursing. In your initial response, provide a definition of what person-centred care
means to you. Describe how you will apply principles holistic nursing, cultural
humility, and self-reflection in your future role as a nurse practitioner.

To me person-centered care means educating an individual and allowing them to take part in
their plan of care with awareness of their background and cultural beliefs. It is important to
develop rapport with the person who you are caring for to allow them to be comfortable with
sharing their background and beliefs with you. In fact, “Entering and understanding the world of
others and their personhood is where caring unfolds” (Edgar at. el, 2020). This can allow one to
have a better understanding of the person as a whole and aide in providing the best possible care
to that individual.

Holistic nursing is being aware that a patient’s biological, social, psychological and spiritual
aspects are all connected (Edgar at. el, 2020). In my future role as a nurse practitioner I plan on
incorporating holistic nursing into my practice by grasping a better understanding of my patient’s
background and allowing them to take part in their healing process. This will allow me to better
view my patient’s understanding of and incorporation of alternative forms of medicine. In turn, I
will be able to provide more culturally competent care that focuses on the mind, body, and spirit.
Another principle I plan on incorporating is cultural humility. Although I come from a culturally
diverse background myself, I know that culture in each individual household differs. This
realization has helped me to stay clear from making assumptions about patients solely on their
culture. In fact, “the nurse who recognizes that his or her own perspective is full of assumptions
is more likely to maintain an open mind, be respectful of all people, and not act as if their way is
the only or best way to proceed” (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). In my current practice as an RN, I
ensure that I maintain an open mind and am respectful of all people and I will continue to
incorporate this in my future role as a nurse practitioner. I also plan on incorporating self-
reflection into my practice. As individuals caring for others it is important that we are aware of
our actions and beliefs that limit us in providing the best possible care to our patients. Being self-
aware and self-reflective can allow us to better understand our patients and be more open
minded. The ultimate goal of incorporating these three principles into practice is to have a better
understanding of the patient as a whole in order to provide the best quality care.
