UNPLEASANT SYMPTOMS THEORY

Year 2016, Volume: 32 Issue: 2, 107 - 118, 01.06.2016

Abstract

The Unpleasant Symptoms Theory, one o f the medium scale theories, has been developed to integrate various symptoms and existing relevant data. Theory is available for understanding the symptom experiences in various cases and prevention, alleviation and management o f unfavorable symptoms and their negative effects. Symptoms occuring together are depicted as catalyzing each other. Thus, this theory allows for the presence o f multiple symptoms and implies that management o f one symptom will contribute to the management o f other symptoms. The purpose o f theory is to the theory is to improve understanding o f the symptom experience in various contexts and to provide information useful for designing effective means to prevent, ameliorate, or manage unpleasan t symptoms and their negative effects. Because it is more general than a theory describing or explaining a specific symptom. The Unpleasant Symptoms Theory has three major concepts such as symptom s , effective factors and performance outcomes. Symptom s has been the starting point in conceptualization o f the theory and therefore they should be accepted as the central concept o f the theory. The three factors influencing the symptom experience were defined as physiological, psychological and situational factors. Three categories o f factors that influence the symptom experience and can, in turn, be influenced by it and by one another are identified in the theory: physiologic factors, psychologic factors, and situational factors.The outcome concept in the The Unpleasant Symptoms Theory is performance. Performance represents the outcomes o f the symptom experience. The concept o f performance has several possible dimensions: physical activity and impairment, functional role performance, activities o f daily living, cognition, comprehension, learning, concentration, problem solving and social interactions. The theory o f unpleasant symptoms, which was grounded in clinical research and practice, is a mid-range theory that holds considerable promise as a basis for additional research and as a guide to nursing practice. In this article the The Unpleasant Symptoms Theory has been explained

RAHATSIZ EDİCİ SEMPTOMLAR TEORİSİ

Year 2016, Volume: 32 Issue: 2, 107 - 118, 01.06.2016

Abstract

Orta Ölçekli Teorilerden biri olan Rahatsız Edici Semptomlar Teorisi, çeşitli semptomlar ve ilgili mevcut bilgileri entegre etmek amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. Teori çeşitli vakalarda semptom deneyimlerinin anlaşılması, olumsuz semptomların ve negatif etkilerinin önlenmesi, hafifletilmesi veya yönetilmesi içindir. Birlikte meydana gelen semptomlar birbirlerine katalize olarak tanımlanır. Böylece, bu teori benzersiz bir şekilde çoklu belirtilerin varlığı için izin verir ve bir semptom yönetimi diğer belirtilerin yönetimine katkıda bulunacak anlamına gelir. Bu teorinin amacı çeşitli durumlarda semptom deneyiminin anlaşılmasını geliştirmek ve geçerli olan anlamların tanınması için yararlı bilgiler tasarlamak, kötü semptomları ve onların negatif etkilerini yönetmek ya da iyileştirmektir. Çünkü spesifik bir semptom tanımlamasında ya da açıklamasında bir teori daha yaygındır. Rahatsız Edici Semptomlar Teorisi: semptomlar, etkileyen faktörler ve performans sonuçları şeklinde üç büyük kavrama sahiptir. Semptomlar, teorinin kavramlaştırılmasının başlangıç noktası olmuştur ve bu yüzden teorinin merkezi olarak kabul edilmeleri gerekir. Semptom deneyimini etkileyen üç faktör fizyolojik, psikolojik ve durumsal faktörler şeklinde tanımlanmıştır. Teoride semptom deneyimini etkileyen faktörlerden 3 kategori tanımlanmıştır ve yapabilme, dönüşüm, bir şeyden ve bir başkası tarafından etkilenmiş olma : psikolojik faktörler, fizyolojik faktörler ve durumsal faktörler. Rahatsız Edici Semptomlar Teorisinde sonuç kavramı performanstır. Semptom deneyiminin sonuçlarını temsil eder. Performansın kavramları, bir çok olağan boyuta sahiptir: fiziksel aktivite ve düzelme, fonksiyonel rol performansı, günlük yaşam aktivitelerini içeren, biliş, anlama, öğrenme, konsantrasyon, problem çözme ve sosyal etkileşimlerdir. Klinik araştırma ve uygulamalarda ortaya çıkan rahatsız edici semptomlar teorisi hemşirelik pratiğine rehber olan ve ek araştırmalar için dikkate değer bir yer tutan orta ölçekli bir teoridir. Bu makalede Rahatsız Edici Semptomlar Teorisi açıklanmıştır
