Presentation Title:

Nursing and Disability: Caring for Self and for Others

Abstract

Approaches to healthcare vary among practitioners, patients, and family member or friends. This variety exposes both potentially supportive interventions and potentially conflicting agendas. Nursing professionals, patients, and family or friends each have responsibilities for patient care. When any of these persons is disabled the dynamics of healthcare encounters may be clouded by misunderstanding the needs, expectations, and the challenges that disability brings to healthcare encounters. The Social Model of Disability is the lens through which caring for self and for others will be examined.
