Question

Give an example or personal experience from the healthcare field of concept analysis

Answer 1

Ans) An operational definition of healing with antecedents, defining attributes, and consequences emerged through the process of concept analysis. We tested the findings using multiple cases, ultimately resulting in a model case, a borderline case, and a contrary case.

The definition provided here and supported by the literature contends that healing is a holistic, transformative process of repair and recovery in mind, body, and spirit resulting in positive change, finding meaning, and movement towards self-realization of wholeness, regardless of the presence or absence of disease. Healing may or may not include cure, defined as the eradication of physical symptoms of illness or disease.

This definition of healing, as well as its antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents, provides a solid, evidence-based foundation for understanding and describing the seminal construct of the OHE framework.
