Application of Abdellah's theory to EDUCATION
by Group E's Raquel Lim Masaga
One of the main reasons why Faye Abdella continues to shine on is because of her relentless efforts towards uplifting and continuously improving nursing education and research. She upheld that the nurses should pursue higher education, which, in turn, would shape their character, build and advance their knowledge, and enhance skills to better care for their patients.
Her famous seminal works, Better Nursing Care Through Nursing Research and Patient-Centered Approaches to Nursing, have revolutionized the focus of nursing practice from a disease-centered to a patient-centered approach (Wayne, 2014). With her 21 nursing problems and the strategy of nursing process, the nursing education and nursing practices today evolve around these areas and is the basis of the nursing curricula (Atkins, 2017).
Abdellah’s dedication of more than 60 years in the advancement of nursing profession is the epitome of nursing world today. No matter where there is nursing care in the globe, and however medical technology has advanced, or health policies/ standards have been updated in the nursing practice; all of the progress still have the elements of her contributions, which are considered as the core principles of modern day nursing (Wayne, 2014).
As health is an ever-changing state, we are reminded through her life, that we need to continuously seek and learn ways to improve our practice, quality of service to our patients and enhance our technical skills individually or administratively.
