L.E.A.R.N Reflection
L-TOPIC:
Kolcaba’s
Theory of ComfortE: The Important nursing theory is Focused around three forms of patient comfort: 1st relief, 2nd ease, 3rd transcendence. The QSEN KSA’s can be used to formulate care from this specific theory. A: The Kolcaba’s theory is important to incorporate in nursing. The theory
can be applied to real world situations. The also in context with patient
centered
care QSEN/KSAs this can direct nurses in providing quality comfort care to patients in the end-of-life.R: In practice and the future, I will make the effort to make sure that when taking care of patients the three levels of comfort is occurring in all three forms. This will allow quality of care to my patients for my patients. N: A hypothetical situation where this approach could be put in to action is when caring for a patient in the ICU at the end of life. Implementing this theory and QSEN/KSA’s to direct care in this situation would be beneficial. This also allows for quality of care. (Current Nursing 2011), (Nursing theory, 2014) Slide6
