Apply gerontologic nursing principles and standards in nursing
practice across the continuum of elder care.
Overview: Life Review – Ego Integrity Research (Erikson)
In preparation for the Life Review interview, you will
research the theories of Erik Erikson. This assignment will help
you record, organize, and analyze important information about
Erikson’s Stages of Development.
At the completion of the interview, you may be able to
determine the degree to which the client has achieved ego integrity
as defined by Erikson (1986). Failure to achieve ego integration
may manifest itself in disgust and/or fear of death. Nurses can
encourage elders to write about their life experiences by assigning
topics which can be shared with a group or can use a guided
interview to provide a sense of continuity and experience the human
need for connectedness. Life that can be viewed across years may
balance the highs and lows with a sense of completeness, as opposed
to remembering the regrets.
Performance Objectives:
Apply gerontologic nursing principles and standards in
nursing practice across the continuum of elder care.
Use current evidence and theories in care of older
adults.
