Professional Presence and Influence
Introduction
In the application of nursing and health services, different models are put in place to deploy such services to a nation’s community. The choice of the type to use depends on the workability and the situation at hand. Notably, coherent beliefs on health, healing, and illness affect personal healthcare habits and form the basis of the healthcare models (Dossey, 1999). The conclusions are mostly based on the cultures and are said to have existed since the ancient times in societies all over the world. Notably, the models serve one primary purpose of addressing the various illnesses that affect the human beings.
However, they all aim at treating the common health conditions and problems that arise now and then. Such problems may include back pain, toe problem, or even headache. Moreover, as Dossey (1999) states, the way of treatment can be unique and different among societies and cultures across the world. It is by the virtue that we have techniques such as Susto that was vastly applied in Latin American nations.
The era one nursing healthcare models is believed to have begun in the 1860s. The group used the old medicine procedures. In their mode of application, they tended to perceive the mind and the body as chastely physical, thereby chasing the sightless nature laws. The model was famously termed the mechanical model that saw the human being as a machine. In the working of the era one healthcare models, measurement-based and mechanical techniques were vastly applied, bringing an end to the ancient superstitious beliefs that stated that human beings were just but parts of a complex universe (Dossey, 1999)
Things went out of hand in the working of the era one healthcare models, providing the foundation of the era two models.
