Personal Theory – Working as an Aesthetic Nurse
Personal theories are often adopted from past and present experiences. Working as an aesthetic nurse, I got to understand how nurses and their clients can work concertedly in exploring personal perceptions of their environment and foster a greater sense of self-appreciation and awareness. By assisting patients undergoing cosmetic procedures, I learned the variation in self-perception. I also learned how I could use my nursing cosmetic skills to enhance my client’s level of satisfaction with themselves.
Working as a nurse’s aesthetics, I observed that caring for persons as a whole and allowing them to represent and express themselves promotes a greater sense of well-being for both the nurses and the patients. Caring for a person as a whole requires the recognition and acknowledgment of an individual as a human being and, according to them, the respect and dignity they deserve (Karlsson & Pennbrant, 2020). It also entails knowing them for who they are, striving to maintain belief in them, and facilitating ways to maintain and enhance their well-being (Sebrant & Jong, 2020). In aesthetic nursing, having this appreciation of the clients sets a framework for helping them express who they are or what they want by working with them. It goes beyond cosmetic rehabilitation to help the clients become self-aware.
Having a greater sense of well-being is central to an individual’s health. It stems from having a better knowledge of self and identifying factors that facilitate well-being (Ruggeri et al., 2020). In aesthetic nursing, nurses strive to ensure their clients’ well-being by helping them identify what facilitates their well-being. This may range from cosmetic rehabilitation to ensuring patients’ comfort with an aspect of self. As Oldland et al. (2020) report, the overall responsibility of a nurse is to assess for and create care plans to address their patients’ social and personal needs. This reinforces the collective nurses’ responsibility to promote their patient well-being.

Question 
Personal Theory – Working as an Aesthetic Nurse
Choose a clinical situation in your specialty and create a theory from your observations. Report the theory to the class. Use a form that clearly identifies your concepts and proposition such as; “psychosocial development (Concept A) progresses through (Proposition) stages (Concept B)”. Identify and define the concepts involved and the proposition between them. For example, a surgical unit nurse may have observed that elevating the head of the bed for an abdominal surgery patient (Concept A) reduces (Proposition) complaints of pain (Concept B). The concepts are the head of the bed and pain. The proposition is that changing one will decrease the other. Raising the head of the bed decreases pain. Use current literature to define your concepts. Each concept should have at least two supporting references.
