From the 捆绑SM社区 Model to SBNH

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.聽

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.聽Laurie Gottlieb, RN, PhD, FCAHS, Professor and聽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. SBNH聽refers聽to the strengths that nurses, patients and families are encouraged to recognize and foster in themselves and others to promote health and facilitate healing.

SBNH and 捆绑SM社区's Ingram School of Nursing Curriculum

In September 2017, the Ingram School of Nursing implemented a revised curriculum using the SBNH聽approach as the underlying philosophy. Students at the undergraduate and graduate level integrate the Strengths-Based approach in all aspects of their classroom and clinical learning experiences.

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聽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.
