pschosocial assessment

nursing diagnosis: effective process of role transition r/t

-acceptance of new role

- acquirement of new knowledge

goal: ct will maintain effective process a/e/b

-responding to babys cues(hunger,crying)

- voicing positive feelings and concerns about baby

- continuing to gain new knowledge

nuring intervention:

- assist pt in identifying personal strenghts

- develop a plan of care with patient that identifies coping strategies

-encourage to voice feelings/concerns about role transition(change)

a little background information: pt is a first time mother

she is 25 years old and married

does this make any sense? any feedback for improvement would be greatly appreciated.

for goals, how about:

• verbalize an increasing sense of competence in correctly responding to the baby's cues for food and diaper changes
  
• patient will report that she is not feeling overwhelmed by her baby's needs
  
• patient reports that she is using resources or others to help her learn her new role and gain new knowledge of infant care

for nursing interventions, how about:

• allow the patient to cry and express her concern freely
  
• have the patient identity and discuss her strengths. avoid criticism.
  
• assist patient in how to identify the way a baby expresses their need for something
  
• make an assessment of patient's ways of coping with frustrating situations
  
• help the patient list positive ways to cope with her stress when the baby cries and she feels frustrated
  
• encourage patient to come up with creative solutions
  
• recommend written resources about newborn care, parenting classes, or a new parent support group

if you decide to use "develop a plan of care with patient that identifies coping strategies" as a nursing intervention, i would change those words i highlighted in red. it sounds too much like what you are doing which is making a care plan. better to say something like "make a list" or "have patient identify and list".

Nursing intervention, find something, anything, you can praise her for doing well to begin to increase her self esteem in her new role as a mother, even as small as, see how she looks at you, she seems to recognize your voice.
