Recommended: Effect of using technology

While both sources are strong and well written by well versed nursing in the field, one is more credible due to the methodology and strategy of how the journal is written.
A major difference in their angle of vision is that Nowel focuses on the intertwining relation between iKT and pragmatism, while Weaver and Olson choose to focus on the broader idea of paradigms in the clinical approach of research. An important similarity evident in both sources however is the underlying importance of pragmatism due to the necessity of being able to test methods out physically, not just mentally. While there are differences based on the authors main focus, both understand the limitations and possible reactions to a pragmatic based philosophy.

  • Science or Pseudoscience

    Their first criterion deals with the testability of the therapy or treatment. Valid scientific treatments have the ability to be thoroughly examined. If a therapy or treatment cannot be tested, it is not credible. Many pseudoscience therapies claim to have proven and verifiable results. However, the claims are not founded on experiment based evidence (Fin, Bothe and Bramlett, 2005, p. 173). In their second claim, Fin, Bothe and Bramlett (2005) address the adaptability of a treatment method when conflicting evidence is presented (p. 173) . This claim, much like the first claim, deals with the evaluation of the therapy. In true scientific treatment, the goal is to provide valid therapies. Thus, any scientific evidence that differs from the original research is thoughtfully analyzed and, changes or corrections are made when necessary (Fin, Bothe and Bramlett, 2005, p. 173). The third criterion deals with verifiable evidence. It is important for treatments to be assessed in a way that allows for the possibility of failure and, when contradictory evidence is discovered, it cannot be ignored. Pseudoscientific treatments often ignore contradictory evidence and base their claims solely on confirming evidence. (Fin, Bothe and Bramlett, 2005, p. 173). Criterion four offers insight on narrative based evidence. The positive claims associated with pseudoscience are...

    Background of theory-Cognitive traditions have become enriched by borrowing parts of theory from behavioral traditions, and vice versa. Behavioral tradition stems from experimental science, rather than clinical through classical-respondent conditioning and operant-instrumental conditioning. Albert Bandura was one of the first to combine cognition with the behavior tradition. However, Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck majorly contributed to the cognitive tradition. The basis of cognitive therapy is with Aaron Beck’s work with examining cognitive schemas and automatic

    (Wilcock ,2001) states that it is essential to break it down into occupations and science. Occupations are daily activities that provide structure for living, reflect cultural values and have meanings for individuals. In addition, the science aspect is the gathering of knowledge through systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials and available resources that informs practice. The information therapist seeks for is that which has been critically appraised by other authors for validity and interpretability when planning and implementing treatment.This evidence based practice is usually defined as'the conscientious, explicit,and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients’ (Dirette et al, 2009).

  • Reflection on a Critical Incident

    2266 Words  | 5 Pages

    Reflection has its importance in clinical practice; we always seek to be successful and that can be achieved by learning every day of our life through experiences we encounter. In that way we can reconsider and rethink our previous knowledge and add new learning to our knowledge base so as to inform our practice. Learning new skills does not stop upon qualifying; this should become second nature to thinking professionals as they continue their professional development throughout their careers (Jasper, 2006). According to Rolfe et al. (2001), reflection does not merely add to our knowledge, it also challenges the concepts and theories by which we try to make sense of that knowledge. Acquiring knowledge through reflection is modern way of learning from practice that can be traced back at least to the 1930s and the work of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educator who was the instigator of what might be called ''discovery learning'' or learning from experience. He claimed that we learn by doing and that appreciating what results from what we do leads to a process of developing knowledge, the nature and importance of which then we must seek to interpret (Rolfe et al., 2001).

  • Pragmatism As A Individualist: Intellectualism And Individualism

    1172 Words  | 3 Pages

    On another note, the pragmatist attempt to avoid intellectualism and individualism by referring to the everyday human and social context as important in the evaluation of opinions has been considered as an attempt to make philosophy humanist (or anthropological), democratic and socially utilitarian. Critics argue that the truth cannot be that which is beneficial to the greater number or that which is maximally beneficial to the greater number. They argue that this is dangerous as it denies philosophical conclusions the objective quality it should possess and makes them (philosophical conclusions) the arbitrary prerogative of individuals or the society, and therefore relative . Critics argue that such recourse to the social or the community , individual or relative efficacy is a form of denial of absolutes or objective standards which ultimately affects ethical considerations. This criticism is also seen in the ecclesiastical quarters. According to John Paul II, pragmatism is a dangerous attitude of mind which,

  • The Importance Of Pragmatics

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being able to communicate in English is not only shown by the ability to ask and answer using English words. This fact should be understood by people that they have to understand what utterance they should produce in any certain condition so that the utterances are proper for the situation and suitable for the hearer. Alternatively, this is what so called as pragmatic competence by linguists. As such, pragmatic competence is essential for successful communication and is a fundamental part of general communicative competence, which is the goal towards which much language learning and teaching strives (Neary & Sundquist, 2013: 151). Therefore, for people whose occupation is as a teacher, they should also learn pragmatics so that they can be able
