Discussion post: What are the core elements of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and System of Personality?
REBCS RESPOND TO THE MAIN POST
Hello class!
After reading the assigned chapter from Okun (1990), rational emotive behavior therapy was a theory developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s (p. 133). Rational emotive behavior therapy is based off of personality and has the technique of psychotherapy (Okun, 1990). Ellis believes that humans are both irrational and rational individuals whom both their emotions and thoughts overlap. However, emotion is related to other responses (Okun, 1990). Emotions are controlled by our thoughts, while our feelings are controlled by our senses. Ellis believed that humans have the ability to have rational behavior and also develop free will. He explains that when a person comes into this world, they are only learning and influencing from other individuals, which ends up leading to irrational thinking (Okun, 1990). Irrational thinking are negative thoughts that an individual has on themselves and the thoughts of harming oneself. Our emotions can be highly influenced from traumatic events, which gets us in touch with our vulnerability (Stolorow, 2012). In rational emotive behavior therapy, Ellis developed an ABC theory, which is based off of (A)ctivating events, (B)elief system, and (C)onsequence (Okun, 1990). The activating event is when something traumatic happens in our lives. The belief system is what we think about the event that happened. Lastly, the consequence is our emotional reaction about the belief (Okun, 1990). What ends up happening is that when an individual has irrational thinking, then it causes emotional interruptions. Therefore, in a rational emotive behavioral approach, the therapists role is to change those irrational thoughts of the client and change them to rational and logical thoughts.
The goal of rational emotive behavior theory is to make the patient have more control over their lives and improve the way they think and feel. An example of this therapy would be if a client came in to see their therapist for their depression. Depression creates feeling of unhappiness and hopelessness. Therefore, this is when the therapist can give some tasks for the patient to do when they are feeling hopeless. When the patient is feeling sad, mad, or hopeless, then it would be their job to think positive at the moment they are feeling depressed. The patient can also write down moments when the client feels sad, and that will give them the chance to go back and find out why they felt that emotion at that moment.

Professional Context
A portfolio is a great way to for nurses to “record and provide evidence of skills, achievements, experience, development and learning, not only for themselves, but for the information and scrutiny of registration boards, employers, managers and peers” (Green, Wyllie, & Jackson, 2014, p. 8).

Time Mangement
Design and implement a personal improvement goal that focuses on a specific nursing leadership or management skill that you would like to improve upon. You will use the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) process to help you achieve your goal.
Identify an area upon which you would like to improvea goal for professional development. For example, say you would like to improve upon your communication skills and the specific outcome you are trying to achieve is to become more assertive in your interaction with other health care professionals. Establish and document a clear plan on how you will achieve your goal. Define measurable criteria that will help you determine if improvement has occurred.
1. Do (D)
Implement the plan and begin collecting and documenting data immediately at the beginning of the session. Continue collecting and documenting data at least several times a week through the first five weeks of the session in order to help you measure whether or not your plan has been successful. The more information you have, the better and stronger your analysis will be.
2. Check (C)
After you have collected data, begin to analyze the information. Based on the data you collected, choose an appropriate tool on pp. 8-24 of the Personal Quality Improvement Work Book and use this tool to assist you in analyzing your data. After you have analyzed the data, begin to identify and document conclusions based on your analysis.
3. Act (A)
After you have studied and analyzed the data, does the information that you gathered support that you have achieved your goal or does it suggest modification in your plan is needed in order to achieve your goal? If you achieved your goal respond to item (a) below. If you need to modify your plan, address item (b) below.
a. If your goal was achieved, specifically indicate how you can consolidate, strengthen, and support the change achieved so things do not slide back into the status quo (Neuhauser, Myhre, & Alemi, 2004, p. 7).
b. If modification is needed, what changes do you think are required to achieve your goal? Be specific. Include information how you would act upon the modified plan reusing the PDCA cycle if you had additional time to do so.
1. Document and submit the following information:
a. The goal for professional development related to a specific nursing leadership or management skill that you identified.
b. The specific plan you formulated to achieve your goal.
c. The measurable criteria you identified to determine if improvement had occurred.
d. Frequency of data collection.
e. Conclusions you reached based on your data analysis and whether or not you achieved your goal or modification of your plan is needed.
f. If you achieved your goal, provide information on how you plan to consolidate, strengthen, and support the changes achieved or if plan modification is needed, provide information on changes needed to achieve your goal and how you would act upon the modified plan reusing the PDCA cycle if you had additional time available to do so.
2. The total page count for the project is to be NOT less than 4 pages and not more than 6 pages NOT including the title page, Charts, survey, and reference page.
