How worldview and nursing theory will help in developing future practice

Watson’s Theory of Human Caring is well aligned with my worldview as a Christian and will help me in developing future practice as a nurse. They have made me more tolerant and open to the idea that I do not have all the answers. Even as I provide professional nursing services, I understand that my capacity to provide services is limited by circumstances, expectations, knowledge and other environmental influences. As a human, I believe that every person should be respected and treated with dignity. We should treat others with the same level of respect and dignity as we would like to be treated under the same circumstance. I understand that interpersonal interactions are important within the nursing care environment such that healing becomes incidental as caring takes on a central position. Through caring for my patients, I will always strive to provide the best possible care thereby guarantees the best possible care outcomes thus advancing the Christian expectation of living as God instructed (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2014).

My theory and worldview allow me to make a difference in my community, enabling me to make rational and ethical decisions. They help me in affirming and safeguarding humanity as God’s creation. In addition, they allow me to live an authentic life through unveiling my thoughts, attitudes and feelings. I have a caring personality, and along with my Christian worldview, I feel that the theory has helped in affirming my decision to pursue a nursing career. The combination of these elements have helped me feel that my career is fulfilling (Cherry & Jacob, 2013). Also, they have made me determined to gain greater influence to pursue policy changes. I will gain influence through experience and education. Experience will allow me to gain familiarity with nursing concepts, especially how to make the best decisions that reduce the possibility of conflict between my beliefs and what the society expects of me. Education will introduce me to new nursing concepts that allow me to better meet the needs of my patients and the community (Iwasiw, Andrusyszyn & Goldenberg, 2019). Overall, my worldview and the nursing theory have affirmed my belief that nursing is the best career choice for me, and they make me determined to advance my career within the profession.
