Hi Peter,

I hope all is well. Yesterday in the PhD level 2 Seminar course that I teach (for PhD in Nursing students) we discussed your publication and 2 by 2 template. Thank you for letting me know about your work!

FYI, these are the readings we discussed yesterday:

Epstein I, Khanlou N, Ermel RE, Sherk M, Simmonds KK, Balaquiao L,& Chang K-Y. (2019). Students who identify with a disability and instructors’ experiences in nursing practice: A scoping review. International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction , 1-28, Published online: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11469-019-00129-7

Thorne, S., Stephens, J., & Truant, T. (2016). Building qualitative study design using nursing's disciplinary epistemology. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 72(2), 451-460.

Two of the readings in the above are related to my publications (1st one I am a co-author on and the 4th one I am the first author on).

The students asked how I came to know about your work, and I indicated one of the advantages of Twitter is you connect with folks related to our field!

Thank you again,

Nazilla

'Desk-topping' i [ c/o BBC Radio 4 today 5 Feb. ]

'desktop' Definition #1 below is as obvious as it is brief. A desk might be topped with various things, so-called executive toys (still?), personal affects, or company related branding. It may have the proverbial in-tray, out-tray (paper still lingers?). The desk may be clear, or cluttered as a workspace. It will be the home of technology, it's PC - desktop - namesake, that shares the floor nearby, wired the sign of connectedness and energy.

'Desk-topping' To have 'papers' on the desk, might be to denote action of some sort, but how long are those 'papers' held for? The subjects of the issue at hand could be experiencing a protracted delay. The desktop in this case exemplifies not just bureaucracy, but obfuscation.

desk·top (dĕsk′tŏp′)
n.
1. The top of a desk.
2. Computers
a. The area of a display screen where images, windows, icons and other graphical items appear.
b. A computer that is designed to be used at a desk or table and is not easily moved, in contrast to a laptop or other portable device. Also called desktop computer.

Desk-topping or desktopping?

Post enigma 2008 ADLS

I've found back in 2008 there is reference to a non-existent post. I'm not sure what happened, but do remember considering this:

https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2008/09/holistic-care-what-is-holistic.html

Creature of habit and habitat that I am, I also appear to have used the same 'strategy' of mapping concepts to the domains of Hodges' model.

In this case the focus was activities of (daily) living. It is this strategy that is employed in a draft paper still to be revised but on the Sustainable Development Goals. This exercise is not just reflective, there is a reflexive quality to it. The fact that asymmetry is revealed should not be surprising. In this post the clue is in the word 'activities' and ADLs and what is often deemed primary in theory, practice and common-sense.

To be revised ...

"Approach needs to be holistic, all encompassing ..."

Books, Papers and Conferences ...

At present I'm reviewing a paper for a journal on an education topic - nearly complete.

Communication Skills
for Effective Dementia Care

I'm five chapters into the ten chapter book -

Communication Skills for Effective Dementia Care

A Practical Guide to Communication and Interaction Training (CAIT)

- this is for a journal so it will be a 'review'.

 

 

800 words, or thereabouts are needed on Hodges' model and its utility in reflecting, deliberating and comprehending the environment and climate change. I have some notes already. 

Mathematics and Art: A Cultural History

Yesterday I had to visit a neighbour. A card for an undelivered item: a parcel. 

What could this be? 

It was quite a big box. 576 pages worth to be exact and a larger format book 9.5 x 12 in that instantly shouted 'quality'.

The book is not new, but is lovely to discover ... 

In my message to the publisher I highlighted my non-mathematical status, but great interest in topics within mathematics and the disciplinary bridges from maths - physics; sciences and humanities and of course mathematics and art.

I'm really grateful (especially to Princeton University Press) to receive both these books.

The dementia care title will also help me complete the two-part paper on Hodges' model, deprivation of liberty and threshold concepts. There are so many strategies and techniques outlined for carers both formal and informal. In July reading this book will also assist with a presentation at the Threshold Concepts conference.

Now well into the new year - the revisions to the paper on the SDGs and Hodges' model is also a priority.

To manage time I've put twitter down, but clearly with the above some tweets will follow in due course.

Then finally it will also be time to leave this blog alone for a time - well fewer posts at least ...

I remember an article in an issue of 'Computer Arts' many years ago on creating stained glass images, the example included fish I think?

What should be written in a HC Professional's DNA?

Before putting twitter down for a break, I was reminded about a form of DNA.

There are previous posts on the 6Cs in nursing here on W2tQ and taking these essential qualities as an obvious starting-point:

1. care,
2. compassion,
3. courage,
4. communication,
5. commitment
6. and competence

- and mapping them to the care (knowledge) domains of Hodges' model, you realise how they apply across the model. Care, Compassion and Communication are the essence of what it is to be human and humanistic. If however the time 'allowed', environment and accessibility are not attended to, then the mechanistic domains can disrupt the most caring of efforts.

What about courage? This is surely a very individual character trait? A personal quality in this context, with an emphasis on the humanistic domains.

Care is relational and we can consider courage in respect to scientific knowledge. As a member of the multidisciplinary team, or specialist practitioner a nurse may need courage to share scientific knowledge, evidence concerning genomics, for example. The public's knowledge and understanding of science is brought to the fore. There is the alternate scenario with the 'patient' as expert, for example in the case of rare diseases (especially next month).

Courage is a continua, that like strands of DNA runs through all the domains of Hodges' model and the 2020s ... will see the political realisation of courage in nursing and healthcare; locally, regionally, nationally and globally.

Reading (another) book for review, the authors draw attention to how Maslow's hierarchy says little, if anything, about altruism (but is implied?).

As these brief observations should demonstrate, Hodges' model facilitates relational, person-centredness, the cross-fertilization of ideas and high standards of care.

Who needs a double-helix when you can have a quadruple form?
