Nursing science is a multidisciplinary enterprise, one in which contributions from diverse fields are synthesized into a broad framework whereby human health is understood and addressed. The discipline of nursing is founded on the principles of ethics. Nurses can use ethical theories and frameworks to resolve complex moral dilemmas while providing patient care that is consistent with values like autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice (Wong et al., 2024). Grounding nursing practice in ethical reasoning allows nurses to advance patients’ rights, support professional integrity, and develop the trust that is essential to the therapeutic relationship. Not only do these ethical underpinnings provide boundaries for acceptable practice, but they also inspire a commitment to compassionate care, where there is an organic connection to the psychosocial dimensions of nursing.

The psychosocial sciences play a significant role in nursing science by highlighting mental, emotional, and social aspects of health and healing. By understanding psychological theories, behavioral patterns, and interpersonal dynamics, nurses can offer holistic care that, apart from physical symptoms, can address the emotional and social needs of patients. For example, nurses are able to adjust interventions to build resilience and coping skills by recognizing the influence of stress, anxiety, or the patient’s cultural background on their wellbeing (Wald, 2020). The emphasis here on the psychosocial aspects of care highlights the importance of good communication and empathy to help establish rapport and create healing environments. On this basis, it is worth exploring also biophysical sciences framed in a complementarity with the psychosocial perspective, aimed to deepen the understanding of the physiological mechanisms that make possible health and disease.

Biophysical sciences are fundamental to a baseline of nursing, as they provide an objective understanding of the human body and its reaction to the disease. Anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology knowledge enable a nurse to evaluate, identify, and intervene in patients’ health problems. For instance, knowing biochemical changes in chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension helps the nurses to explain to patients about lifestyle changes and medications (Seah et al., 2020). Additionally, the fabricating of biophysical understanding with psychosocial concepts enables the nurse to operate from a more encompassing paradigm, where cognition is understood to influence physical health and vice versa. It is this integration of the disciplines that emphasizes the need for organizational structures that enable the provision of high-quality patient-centered care, an area of practice that draws significantly on organizational sciences.

Organizational sciences enhance nursing science by focusing on the effects of structures of organizations, management, and staff cooperation on patient care and the practice of nurses. In this case, it will be essential to note that organizational structures need to be flexible enough to have a capacious understanding of this particular organizational need in different contexts while still being specific enough to ensure that resources, policies, and workflow in ways that will benefit both the patient and the healthcare provider. For instance, research in this field has shown the significance of collaboration with other disciplines, communication of practical ideas and protocols, and evidence-based practices to decrease the occurrence of medical errors and enhance patients’ quality of life. Finally, organizational sciences are also about the organizational climate, the engagement of employees, and the preservation of their health and well-being, all of them being essential when it comes to nursing care. 

Moreover, this discussion aligns with the role-specific competency of knowledge of the healthcare environment. This competency recognizes the intricacies of the interplay of systems, policies, and practices in healthcare settings, which translates directly to the contributions of organizational sciences in maximizing care delivery.

Human development is a branch of psychology with the goal of understanding people — how they develop, grow, and change throughout their lives. This discipline, which can help individuals better understand themselves and their relationships, is broad. As such, it can be used in various professional settings and career paths.

If human development is the study of how people change throughout their lives, how and when does this development happen? Many scientists and psychologists have studied various aspects of human development, including ego psychologist Erik Erikson. He examined the impact of social experiences throughout an individual’s life and theorized that psychosocial development happens in eight sequential parts. What are the eight stages of human development?

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.

What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.

What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

Talking With Patients About Quitting Smoking

Because of the serious detrimental effects of smoking, education about quitting smoking is a priority for nursing interventions when caring for patients who smoke. Major organizations that emphasize the role of nurses in helping patients quit smoking include the American Nurses Association, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

What Are E-cigarettes?

• E-cigarettes are electronic devices that heat a liquid and produce an aerosol, or mix of small particles in the air.
• E-cigarettes come in many shapes and sizes. Most have a battery, a heating element, and a place to hold a liquid.
• Some e-cigarettes look like regular cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Some look like USB flash drives, pens, and other everyday items. Larger devices such as tank systems, or “mods,” do not look like other tobacco products.
• E-cigarettes are known by many different names. They are sometimes called “e-cigs,” “e-hookahs,” “mods,” “vape pens,” “vapes,” “tank systems,” and “electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS).”
• Using an e-cigarette is sometimes called “vaping.”
