...Trust: A Concept Analysis The term trust encompasses a wide array of meaning. It can be regarded both as a logical and an emotional act. Trust can be defined as having utter belief in the reliability, ability or truth of any person or thing; it is a state where the acceptance of truth even without evidence or investigations becomes possible (Oxford University Press, 2013). However, according to Merriam-Webster (2013) trust is defined as a guaranteed reliance on the strength, character or the character of any entity. Trust is an utterly important concept, even when considering it from the perspective of the nurse management. As mentioned earlier, trust has an element of emotion and logic in it. It is considered logical where a person perceives the potential gains or losses of putting their reliance on someone, calculating the possible satisfaction derived out of putting their trust into them and only after carefully analyzing all these aspects, then deciding whether or not to trust someone. However, it can be referred as emotional when any entity exposes themselves to others, hoping that rather than taking advantage of their situation, the others would tend to understand their situation and support them open heatedly. There are various dimensions to trust, some of which could be defined under the terms of predictability, delayed reciprocity, value exchange and exposed vulnerabilities. Human beings have a knack of forecasting for their future and in doing so, it is imperative...

...(2006), described 'Trust' as an act of putting ones believe in a person or something with confidence and without fear. Selman (2006) inferred that a trusting patient believes that an honest caregiver is very important, particularly where the client displayed some limited ability in determining the trustworthiness of others. Trust is developed when the medical team creates rapport, and encourage the patient to acknowledge that they need help. This means that trust increases when the relationship between the medical team and the patient. Trust is enhanced in a patient with constant communication who is in control of his/her care (Aaltonen & Piippo, 2008). Trust can also be built by attentive listening. (Hupcey & Miller, 2006). The heard word should initiate an action which is an acknowledgement that results to treating everyone with respect. Trust plays great role in daily nurse-patient encounters. However, a patient’s views and understanding of trustworthiness is yet to be comprehended. Caregivers should internalize and practice trustworthiness thereby enhancing the competency of their job (Hupcey & Miller, 2006). Creating an atmosphere of trust enhances a patient's response to treatment. The concept in professional practices is different when you think about this particular concept with regard to the normal day by day relationship with people such as understandings between (mother and baby, among co-workers, husband and wife or among friends). Trust, however plays a vital...

...Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Lung cancer, the most preventable cancer, it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women in Canada. In 2008, it was estimated that there would be 23,900 new cases (12,600 men and 11,300 women) of lung cancer in Canada and that there would be 20,200 deaths (11,000 men and 9200 women) from lung cancer in Canada (Lewis, Heitkemper McLean, Dirksen Ruff, O’Brien Graber, & Bucher). Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a term for different types of lung cancers that have different types of cancer cells that grow and spread in their own way. NSCLC accounts for 80-85% of all lung cancer cases and includes squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma (Gutierrez-Cabezon & et al. 2012), which are the most common types of non-small-cell lung cancer. There are some rare types of NSCLC but the purpose of this essay is to cover the most common types of non-small-cell lung cancer. Overview of Non-small-cell Lung Cancer Squamous cell (epidermoid) carcinoma is closely correlated to smoking and environmental carcinogens such as “asbestos, radon, nickel, iron and iron oxides, uranium, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chromates arsenic, and air pollution” (Lewis et al., 2010). The squamous cell carcinoma tends to originate in the central bronchi as an intraluminal growth and is thus more amendable to early detection through cytologic examination of sputum than other forms of lung cancer (Hannon, Pooler & Porth)...

...1. Define the Concept of Basic Trust: What is basic trust? To me basic trust would be the trust you put around the world. When you come to talk about building basic trust when it comes to a young age, well you have to depend on your parents to do the right things for you to build basic trust. As people sit trying to find the meaning behind basic trust, they are usually are stuck with awe. It can mean multiple things.

We are introduced to Erik Erikson, who was born on 1902 and passed away on 1994. Through Erikson’s 92 years of life he was quiet the scholar. He would write essays that were collected by his wife Joan and later published in chapters in a book entitled, Childhood and Society (1950). One of his most famous concepts from the essay was “The Eight Stages of Man”. Which illustrate eight ascending steps on a moving staircase that starts at infancy and goes up to older adulthood. Where the author Jon Snodgrass interacts with their readers is that, Snodgrass gives his own formula to understand “The Eight Stages of Man”. Snodgrass’s formula was LSDT = A & S + PT + CP, which stands for “Life Span Development Theory”, A&S stands for “Age and Stages”, PT is “Psychological Task”, and...

...Kimberly Anthony August 31, 2014 Introduction The value and concept of trust in relationships is both an antecedent and a consequence: the trust employees have in a leader influences their actions, and conversely the actions of a leader encourage trust. Organizational success not only requires individual excellence and contribution, but moreover organizational synergy. Exceptional leaders consciously create environments of trust, and strive to integrate trust into corporate culture. As paraphrased by Jared Zentz (2014), “a trusted leader is the glue that will either strengthen the way forward or fracture a business abruptly.” A Trusted Leader: The 3 Most Important Concepts Learned The professional and corporate benefits of achieving an organizational culture with the value of trust is enticing for all leaders, yet elusive for many. In organizations that intrgrate trust into corporate culture, employees believe they are respected and treated fairly, and view management as credible (Lyman, 2012). When employees view management as credible, “[employees] have confidence that the actions of others will be remain consistent with their words” (Harlow, 2014). In Shelby Sisco’s (2014) topic review, she concludes that “[trust] motivates, stimulates creativity, and helps the organization to attract and retain great...

...properties of salt. So, while Tata salt had thus far been positioned on the rational aspects of 'purity', its new positioning would carry this proposition forward but within the larger context of the consumer's life, encompassing both rational and emotional manifestations of 'purity'. In addition, being the market leader, Tata wanted to grow the market by increasing the user-base. Tata salt realised that there was nothing like strong 'leadership claim' to meet this end. It felt that elevating the brand to the status of a national icon, it could not only expand the user-base but also break free from the clutter. Tata salt's greatest strength as a brand was derived from its association with trust. Its parent, the Tata group, had built its equity on the very concept of leadership with trust. Thus the advertising strategy was aimed at rendering the twin messages of (1)purity (rational emotional expressions) of the brand and (2) its leadership position Tata decided that the best way to differentiate was to connect with the consumer at an emotional level, since competitors were focussing on the functional properties of salt.

...Self-Concept: Juanita Lane How would you describe yourself? Are you funny, witty, or nervous? How do you think someone else would describe you? Would they say that you're logical, brave, or patient? Your self-concept is an idea of what you believe about yourself based on responses, reactions, and feedback from others. Even though individuals have certain concepts about themselves, those concepts are usually formed by external sources such as friends, family, co-workers, and many others. During the Self-Concept Inventory, I found that the top three words that best describe me are extroverted, intelligent, and trustworthy. I also find myself to be observant and dependable. When I asked my husband to complete the same task, I was not surprised to know that he thinks of me as trustworthy, dependable, giving, self-assertive, and complex. I hear at least one of these words daily, in one form or another. Though I felt that there were other words that better described me when it comes to my interactions with him, he thought those five words were best. My belief that I am trustworthy comes from my interactions with friends and family members. This developed from reflected appraisal that began in my teenage years. Even though I live in Italy, I have friends and family who contact me almost daily to discuss their personal issues or ideas. They trust that I will always give them my honest answer or opinion about their most intimate situations. I receive calls discussing anything from...

...essence, social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in all aspects of society. This concept demands that people have equal rights and opportunities; everyone, from the poorest person on the margins of society to the wealthiest deserves an even playing field. Social justice generally refers to the idea of creating a society or institution that is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, that understands and values human rights, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being.The term and modern concept of "social justice" was coined by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in 1840 based on the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas and given further exposure in 1848 by Antonio Rosmini-Serbati. The idea was elaborated by the moral theologian John A. Ryan, who initiated the concept of a living wage. Father Coughlin also used the term in his publications in the 1930s and the 1940s. It is a part of Catholic social teaching, Social Gospel from Episcopalians and is one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party upheld by green parties worldwide. Social justice as a secular concept, distinct from religious teachings, emerged mainly in the late twentieth century, influenced primarily by philosopher John Rawls. Some tenets of social justice have been adopted by those on the left of the political spectrum. Social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality and involves a greater degree of economic egalitarianism through progressive taxation...

This concept originally created to help Noncommissioned Officers (NCO) of the United States Army (Army) better identify Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assaults (SHARP) and counteract it by building a foundation of trust with their junior enlisted Soldiers in their formations. His initial foundation of NIMS was able to set conditions and expand better than he could imagine. Instead of just focusing on SHARP related issues he expanded to teaching better leadership skills, training, and physical fitness. He took a hard line at changing the toxicity of the NCO Corps and created an environment of...

...the “Cinderella” branch or aspect of management, which overtime has emerged with its own high degree of importance. Many reasons surround the emergence of industrial relations as a subject matter and operational activity, both at the organizational level and academic level. Such as, the cost associated with disruptions and dislocations in production processes and systems over time as results of misunderstanding and mishandling of industrial conflict. In industrial relations, there are concepts (abstract ideas) which require subjective, value judgements (based on moral and ethics) for which there are no universally accepted criteria. Some of these concepts are; fairness/equity, power/authority, individualism/collectivism, rights/responsibilities and integrity/trust. The term fairness in relation to IR allows the worker to challenge the decisions of the employer when they believe they are being treated unfairly. Equity on the other hand requires the employer to treat right with right. The concept of Fairness/Equity has always been raising eyebrows with questions like; A fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work? But wat is a fair day’s work? It is important for managers to recognize that while people are not equal, every employee is entitled to equal opportunity.

...mouthful. But, what does it really mean? In simplified terms, mission command is the way a leader develops and leads his subordinates into accomplishing the mission while leaving room for leaders to take ownership and initiative in completing the mission. Mission Command is comprised of six different principles, all of which are bound together by mutual trust. The first two principles: build cohesive teams through mutual trust and create shared understanding, are the foundation to Mission Command. A leader can establish a command climate that fosters mission command by ensuring there is mutual trust and shared understanding within the organization. These two concepts are gained through common experiences, communication, and collaboration. Through shared experiences, a team will have endured hardships together. When faced directly with challenges, it is the person to your right and left you look towards for encouragement and assistance. When the team makes it through the hardship together, the sense of unity fosters and develops trust amongst the members. Communication is essential when discussing the concepts of mutual trust and shared understanding. The leader can effectively express the intent when providing clear and concise orders to his/her subordinates. Communication must flow from the bottom up and back down in order to ensure shared understanding. Through this, the leader can identify areas of confusion or misunderstandings within...
