What
are the unique qualities of the Circle of Caring Model and how is it different
from holistic nursing theories and biomedical nursing? Support your discussions
with examples and reference with evidence-based research.
The Circle of Care Model aims to show how
social and behavioral changes can help improve the quality of care (Lexa,
2017). For this purpose, healthcare experts are urged to work together on
short-term or long-term projects. They do so to ensure the timely and
consistent delivery of services (Downing, 2018). One of the most important
qualities of the Circle of Care Model is that it ensures the provision of
top-notch care to patients. Another quality is that it provides a chance to
doctors, nurses and other staff members to sit together and discuss work.
Without the Circle of Care Model, it will never be possible for doctors and
nurses to provide great services to their patients. For example, unlike
doctors, nurses have to deal with multiple emergency cases every day, and if
they do not collaborate with one another, then the healthcare system can get
impacted. Another chance is that care will be delayed, and patients and their
families may have to suffer.
These features make the Circle of Care Model
different and far better than holistic nursing theories, as it emphasizes the
need to promote quality care (Spohr & Idoine-Fries, 2017). An understanding
among the medical experts can be developed, and planning, evaluation, and
monitoring are possible to be done in order to ensure that everyone in the
hospital is working with honesty and that patients are receiving timely
medications or treatment. In addition, the Circle of Care Model ensures that
caregivers can deal with challenges during work, creating a peaceful and
sustainable environment within the hospital.
