Document Summary
Week 2: nursing 1120; movements within the health care system. A strengths base care approach brings these four approaches together under one umbrella, to create a more humane healthcare system; opposed to a treatment and diagnoses system. This places the patient at the center of their own care, empowering the individual to create their own goal, and by doing so it creates a new meaning to their lives. This is the counter hegemony (status quo which is treatment focused). Deficit is: the norm that we see in our health care system. We focus on what is wrong vs. what is right in a clients life. We tend to focus on what needs fixing, rather than what is working adn trying to build that capacity. The liver transplant patient rather than the patient who has had a liver transplant . Doctors look for diseases, nurses look for problems in individuals families a nd communities.
