Values are important guiding principles for nurses that influence their behaviors and practice. The document outlines several key values for nursing including human dignity, privacy, autonomy, precision in care, commitment, and developing competency. It discusses how values provide a framework for patient care and ethical decision making. Values are not just theoretical concepts but have real impact on how nurses deliver care in collaboration with other professions.

development

16. Values are not only a theoretical
concept but also that they can, and
do, have a profound impact on the
practical working life of nurses
delivering care in collaboration with
other professions.

18. A view or judgment formed about something, not
necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Opinions
are sometimes supported by facts.
They can be argued or disagreed with.

19. An Opinion?
An opinion, however, is a
statement that holds an
element of belief. It
tells how someone feels.
An opinion is not always
true and cannot be
proven.
A fact is a statement
that is true and can be
verified objectively, or
proven.
In other words, a fact
is true and correct.
A Fact?
Ex 2: “The sun is hot.”
Ex 1: “Milk rice is so
yummy.”
Ex 1: “Milk rice is made up of
coconut milk and rice.”

22. • Opinions are useful when making a decision. (Opinions
from friends and family, opinions from public in surveys.)
• Opinions are key influencers of our behaviors.
• Our beliefs and perceptions of reality are conditioned on
how others see the world. (Other’s opinions influence on
our opinions .)

23. • Beware of parroting opinions that you
don’t believe in, in order to be accepted
by the crowd.
• You have your own set of opinions,
formed by your life experiences, by the
things you read, by the conversations you
have, and you deserve to let that surface
Don’t be a
parrot…..!

25. • Everyone have right to have a opinion.
• Having opinions is healthy. It indicates
a progressive nature .
• Everyone thinks they are deserving of being
heard, applauded, agreed with, admired and
liked for their opinions.
• One can think that he is always right and his
opinion is the correct all the time. But it is not
the truth.
• It is not a good leadership quality.

29. • As nurses we have to deal with different kind of people
who have different opinions.
• We have to deal with patients, their family members,
and health care workers, and also co workers.
• They are belongs to different social levels and
educational levels. So their opinions are different from
each other.

30. • The bigger challenge is how do we handle
differences in opinion amongst the healthcare
team members, all of whom bring experience and
knowledge to the table.
• All team members ultimately have the same goal
of delivery outstanding patient care.

31. • Open discussion from a teaching
perspective.
• Appreciating the value of the opinion of
another health care team member.
• Empowering another’s correct opinion.
• Respect other’s opinions.
