Instructions: This discussion will be completed in two parts and will give you an opportunity to reflect upon this week’s content and to interact with your classmates.

  • Part 1 – Post your initial response to the discussion questions by Thursday at 11:59 pm
  • Part 2 – Post substantive feedback to two (2) classmates by Sunday at 11:59 pm

Part 1 Initial Post: Contribute a substantive initial posting that demonstrates critical thinking and understanding of the subject matter presented. Health Information technology is in a rapid and constant state of evolution. This means that the working environment is changing at the same pace that the technology evolves. Change can have a dramatic impact on people and process, and therefore we refer to the HIM professionals as being agents of change. For your initial response, discuss the impact that this rapid and constant state of change can have on a healthcare organization and it employees. Furthermore, discuss what it means to be an agent of change and the importance of being able to manage and drive change in the industry.

Brian is a previously healthy 56-year-old white man who presents with progressive neuropathy and declining mental status over several months. The patient initially developed numbness of his fingertips and the balls of his feet and began to lose motor control of his hands, which manifested as dropping objects or flinging them as he tried to pick them up. As symptoms progressed, he had visual tracking problems that were severe enough to interfere with driving a car, and he developed short-term memory loss and slowing of cognitive function. His current vital signs are 117/70, 72, 98.6, 12, Ht 5’9” Wt 193 lbs.

Discussion NT W6 Reply to Peer 2

Two middle-range theories that could be used to analyze a phenomenon of interest in nursing are Merle Mishel’s Theory of Uncertainty in Illness and Barbara Riegel’s Theory of Self-Care in Chronic Illness. Both offer complementary perspectives to address phenomena related to the patient’s experience of chronic or uncertain conditions.

The Theory of Uncertainty in Illness focuses on how patients perceive and manage uncertainty associated with events related to their illness. It proposes that uncertainty arises when individuals cannot adequately structure or categorize events due to a lack of information or ambiguous cues (FAAN et al., 2023). This theory is particularly useful for exploring emotional and cognitive aspects, such as stress or coping strategies, and how these influence patient adaptation. For example, in patients with chronic diseases, this theory could analyze how uncertainty about the course of the disease affects their psychological well-being and their ability to make informed decisions.

On the other hand, the Theory of Self-Care in Chronic Illness addresses the process by which patients maintain their health and manage their illness through self-care. Its key concepts include self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management (Curcio et al., 2024). This theory emphasizes the practical skills and behaviors needed to manage symptoms, adhere to treatments, and respond to changes in their condition. It is particularly valuable in assessing how factors such as motivation, social support, or personal skills influence health outcomes.

When comparing the two theories, it is observed that while Mishel’s Theory focuses more on the psychological and emotional aspects related to the perception of uncertainty, Riegel’s Theory emphasizes the concrete actions and practical processes that patients use to manage their illness. However, the two can complement each other: for example, a patient experiencing high levels of uncertainty (according to Mishel) may have difficulty implementing effective self-care strategies (according to Riegel). Taken together, these theories allow for a holistic understanding of the phenomenon by integrating both the emotional and behavioral dimensions of chronic disease management.
