捆绑SM社区

Patient-centred care has become something of a buzz term in medicine in the past decade. But what many in the field might not know is that a patient-centred care model was pioneered by 捆绑SM社区 nurses back in the 1950s, known as the 捆绑SM社区 Model of Nursing, which promoted the idea that nurses, patients and families are equal partners in providing support, information, and advocacy. Patients and families are treated with respect, and listened to as individuals with personalities, preferences and histories of their own.

A generation of nurses trained under the 捆绑SM社区 Model of Nursing went on to become leaders who trained the next generation of nurses. The model was adopted by hospitals across Canada, as well as internationally. Laurie Gottlieb, RN, PhD, FCAHS, Professor and Flora Madeline Shaw Chair of Nursing, then spearheaded the evolution of the 捆绑SM社区 Model by developing Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare, a philosophy and value-driven approach to guide clinicians, leaders, and educators. Strengths-Based Nursing and Strengths-Based Care refer to the strengths that nurses, patients and families are encouraged to recognize and foster in themselves and others to promote health and facilitate healing.

In September 2017, the Ingram School of Nursing implemented a revised undergraduate curriculum using the Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare (SBNH) approach as the underlying philosophy. The next step is to inspire the clinical instructors and preceptors working with students in the clinical settings to use the SBNH approach. In a joint venture with their clinical partners, the Ingram School of Nursing is now in the process of developing online modules for nurse preceptors on the SBNH approach, and on how the values and principles underlying the approach can be used to guide the teaching of nursing students in the clinical settings.

Dr. Laurie Gottlieb has led two major research projects on Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare (SBNH), both based out of the Ingram School of Nursing. These research initiatives aim to transform nurses' work environments, by training clinical managers and leaders to lead from a Strengths-Based approach.

The first initiative, carried out from 2016 to 2018, was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada 颅颅颅颅颅(SSHRC) through a Partnership Development Grant.

The second project, currently underway, is jointly funded by CIHR and SSHRC through a Healthy and Productive Work Partnership Grant.
