Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Nursing Science - Nursing Management, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences North Rhine-Westphalia Köln (Gesundheitswesen), course: Soziale Arbeit und Pflege, language: English, abstract: Preamble „Participation“ is no usual, conversational term in the German nursing language. Translated as “part taking” and “co-determination” participation means the political co-determination of the public in bills and in democratic elections. If the German nursing literature and language speaks of participation we rather use terms like “patient self-government” and “self-determination” which mean cooperation or participation in nursing and caring processes. Saunders (1995) who explicitly uses the term of patient participation defines it as „active process of participation in and advancement of therapeutic or general self nursing abilities or the participiation in decisions concerning from reception to dismissal“ My presentation follows the central Theme “Participiation” in this way of definition. This issue will give you an overview about the concepts of Participation in the vocational training of nurses, in nursing sciences and especially in the practice of nursing. Therefore i give you an outline of the different areas.
