According to the attachment theory, a strong and healthy development of attachment between a parent and a child is crucial for the child’s emotional and psychological well-being (Bosmans et al., 2020). When nurses are working with parents, they attempt to promote a healthy attachment by stimulating certain behaviors. By promoting these behaviors, the nurse can help parents establish a solid and healthy attachment with their children, which leads to better emotional and psychological outcomes for the child in the long term. This theory also suggests that a strong emotional bond between a parent and a child is essential for healthy child development (Bosmans et al., 2020). Therefore, nurses working with parents likely attempt to stimulate behaviors that promote healthy attachment between the parent and the child. Some of the behaviors that the nurses attempt to stimulate include sensitivity, responsiveness, consistency, warmth, empathy, and providing emotional support to the parent.

Firstly, the nurse could advise the parent to be aware of their child’s emotional and physical needs and give them prompt, and appropriate attention. This attention can be through the parent recognizing and reacting to the child’s cues, such as cries, body language, and facial expressions (Ali et al., 2021). By the child depicting those behaviors, the parent would be able to tell what the child is going through and act promptly. Another behavior is responsiveness. The nurse might advise the parent to give their child a safe and nurturing environment and to pay attention to their needs. When a child needs it, this includes giving them support, security, and physical touch like holding and hugging.

Secondly, the nurse may advise the parent to follow through with rules and consequences and to be consistent in their caring methods, such as maintaining regular feeding and sleeping schedules. These will significantly assist in creating a strong parent-child bond, and it will also assist in the child’s health since the child will have all the needs as required by the doctors. Conversely, the nurse may encourage the parent to show warmth and compassion to their child through good verbal and physical interactions, such as complimenting and hugging them.

Lastly, the nurse may encourage the parent to empathize with the child by validating their feelings and providing emotional support (Ali et al., 2021). This empathy can only succeed if the parent is close to the child by creating a sense of safety and showing security. Positive interaction between the parent and the child can strengthen the bond. Therefore, the nurses encourage those activities that promote interaction and play.

Attachment theory delves into the bonds between people. It focuses mainly on long-term relationships, such as between a father and a child, which begins to be fostered from birth, it is important to note that during the first weeks of life an affective bond is established between the mother and the newborn . It can even affect the physiological area by boosting the child’s immune system when properly established. Caregivers need to be compassionate and caring when caring for their children because it makes them feel safe, secure, and protected (Theule, 2022). Caregivers need to make sure they support their children, especially in times of need. This fosters self-esteem and tolerance for frustration, tools that will help them cope with the different stages of development and life itself.

       Parents and caregivers have different parenting styles, and some of them may need the support of different professionals, such as nurses, to monitor the growth and development of the child (Theule, 2022). Professional nurses must work together with caregivers to ensure that children are nurtured appropriately and have their needs met, especially those raised in families with poverty, violence, substance abuse and mental health problems, trying to act preventively so that children are affected as little as possible. in these environments.

       Nurses must ensure a strong bond between parents and their children by defending various parenting styles and positively reinforcing parenting skills, hence the importance of knowing the different cultural and religious backgrounds and intervening appropriately . Nurses also have a role in ensuring a healthy relationship between parents and children because it affects the child’s behavior and emotions, and also intervenes in the appropriate behavioral models to foster said positive emotions . Nurses also interact with parents and can learn about the different stressors of caregivers when caring for their children and giving tools to handle certain challenges that appear at different stages of the child’s psychomotor development (Ali et al., 2021). Through this, a nurse can act as a counselor but advise and guide parents on the various approaches they need to take to ensure the healthy growth and development of the child. Therefore, it is vital that nurses advocate for the various attachment-based interventions, as they are essential during the support of children’s development.

Evidence suggests that patients do better when their expectations about specific benefits of nursing care are discussed and met.  Design a “comfort contract” whereby patients or their surrogates designate an expected level of postsurgical overall comfort and also where they can specify chronic discomforts and interventions that they use at home for relief.

For this assignment use Jakob Nielson’s examples of Heuristics to review either the Maryland MVA website (mva.maryland.gov) or the White House website (whitehouse.gov)

In this assignment, you will imagine that you are one of the experts being called to do an evaluation of one of the websites.

Nielson speaks about Heuristics in this (video) and more on the subject for your use in this assignment can be found here and here. More resources on the subject can be found here.

What should be in your report:

On this Bb Discussion Board section, post a PDF report that includes the following:

1. Provide a defense as to why the website does or does not meet the heuristics covered. You may provide a table of the list of the heuristics with a yes or no next to the heuristic title to denote whether the heuristic is achieved in your opinion. But you must provide commentary and defend your stance. Your assignment should be 2-3 pages in length.

2. Provide screenshots that help illustrate your points (if screenshots are not possible, provide

sketches)

3. Also provide recommendations on what you would propose to help the website meet the heuristics based on your knowledge gained through the class and beyond.

The primary goal of the assignment is that you thoughtfully defend a rationale for why the system meets the heuristic requirements. Keep the following in mind:

• Your document should be well-organized, easy to read, and free of typos and formatting errors.
• In your analysis, focus on a few of the feature(s) or aspect(s) of the user interface. You should only journey down through 3 levels maximum of the website, that way you are not overloaded with examples. For instance, homepage>about us>Staff>Bios would be three levels down from the homepage.
• Try to avoid using words like “intuitive” and “user-friendly” and be as precise as possible in your explanation of why the website does or does not meet the heuristics. Use your knowledge of the Laws of UX and the modules that we have covered in the close thus far and make explicit reference to them.
• For example, avoid saying that it simply “looks nice” Use your critical thinking, knowledge, and skillful eye to explain what makes it look that way. Don’t just say the interface “doesn’t make sense.” Explain what specifically makes it so.
• You may also use the following as a rubric to assist you:

Overall severity rating on a scale of 0–4
0 = I don’t agree that this is a usability problem at all
1 = Cosmetic problem only: need not be fixed unless extra time is available on project 2 = Minor usability problem: fixing this should be given low priority
3 = Major usability problem: important to fix, so should be given high priority
4 = Usability catastrophe: imperative to fix this before the product can be released (Nielsen)
