Nursing theory

The selected nursing theory for the practicum experience is modeling and role-modeling theory. Modeling and role-modeling theory was invented by Evelyn Tomlin, Helen Erikson, and Mary Ann in 1983, (Erickson et al, 2005). I chose the theory for my practicum because it enhances the care provided to the clients with understanding and respect for every client’s uniqueness. The theory enables nurses to gain a clear understanding of the clients. The relationship built when using this theory encourages nurses and their clients to work towards achieving similar goals which include attaining and maintaining good health conditions.

In Modelling, the nurses gain knowledge on the understanding of the client about his or her world and be in a position to appreciate the values and significance of the client’s own ways of understandings. Since modeling recognizes the fact that each client has a unique view of his or her own world, nurses get the opportunity to build a visual image of how client view the world from perspective of the clients, (Erickson et al, 2005). For role-modeling, nurses promote and support the client with a view of obtaining and maintaining favorable health status. According to the model, the client is the expert in the care provided and has adequate knowledge of the better ways which can help him or her improve.

Counseling theory

The most preferred counseling theory for this practicum experience is the behavioral theory, (Joseph & Joseph, 2010). I picked the theory because it helps change unhealthy behaviors that a client may be having. Therapists use the theory to identify dynamics that affect a client’s behavior and recommend the best approaches that enhance the learning of healthy behaviors for clients, (Joseph & Joseph, 2010). On the other hand, the clients are continuously updated on their progress in attaining appropriate behaviors. Therapists use the model to achieve behavioral change through the initiated self-programs for the clients.

Goals and Objectives

The practicum experience goals are exercising the skills gained throughout the course in a health environment, help combine skills and personality for effective therapy, nurture positive orientation of the client and also affirm the clients on his or her abilities and strengths. The experience helps build trust with clients from the relationship developed. This results in better understanding, acceptance, and a client’s adherence to the treatment process. The objectives for the practicum are to ensure an effective healing process for the clients, to provide care to the clients, to eliminate ill behaviors that clients possess to help in getting better.
