Abstract
This project involved the dissemination of a new Nursing Theory called NEWGATHE (Nursing Empowerment for Wellness Global Advocacy Theory) developed as part of my Nurse Practitioner Master's Degree graduate project. This OER includes a PowerPoint presentation with application case studies that will allow graduate Nurse Practitioner students practice and master the contents of the course Nursing 620 (Theories in Advanced Nursing Practice.) The objectives of this OER resource are (a) to facilitate access to Nurse Practitioner students to a new Nursing theory, (b) to disseminate a new nursing theory titled "NEWGATHE" which incorporates vital elements of the role of Nurse Practitioners, such as Advocacy, global perspectives, and inclusion, and (c) to motivate Nurse Practitioner Students to view medical care in a holistic and integrative way, incorporating a global perspective.
This project will improve teaching and learning by allowing graduate Nurse Practitioner Students become familiar with a new nursing theory (NEWGATHE) that has not been published yet. It addresses content gaps related to advocacy and inclusion, as well as a global perspective in the Advanced Practice Nursing role in conflict zones afflicted by war, as well as in impoverished and disadvantaged areas.
