Erickson's Developmental Theory's Impact on Nursing

How can the Developmental Theory be related to nursing? According to McEwan and Wills (2011), it is important for nurses to know the theory in order to be respond to their patients (p. 279. For example, an older man who is in a constant bad mood might be experiencing despair, and the nurse could better respond to him. Next, nurses can gather information about patients by using Erikson's theory and provide patient centered care. Next, nurses are responsible for helping address lack of functioning issues and becoming familiar with this theory would allow them to do so (McEwan and Wills, 2011, p. 279).

Nurses being familiar with Erikson's Development Theory can "...help in analyzing patient's symptomatic behavior in the context of traumatic past experiences and struggles with current developmental tasks" (Current Nursing, 2011). Nurses can help identify inpatient’s faulty behavior based on past experiences and stages and help them seek psychological assistance such as a counselor. Nurses can help patients who are having difficulty with developmental phases by providing care directed to the appropriate stage (Current Nursing, 2011).


How has Erikson's developmental theory influenced my nursing career? I currently work in the Critical Care setting where I see a wide variety of patients of all ages and backgrounds. I feel that being familiar with Erikson's theory allows me to be more sensitive to my patients and possibly understand more where they are coming from. Being familiar with this theory allows me to not take things patients do personally but instead realize that the patients might have had difficulty in life or one of Erikson's stages. For example, I had a very rude and grouchy gentleman who was 75 years old. Nothing I could would please him. I learned later that his wife had cheated on him with his best friend and one of his children had died. Realizing these things, I was able to take care of the patient in a more sensitive light.

  1. As a nurse, I sometimes have to put aside the negative behaviors that patients and families sometimes portray. I realize that there are other issues that may come into play such as you describe in your blog. Utilizing Erikson's theory will help me analyze the behaviors and help in providing optimal patient care.
