Patients have a variety of "strengths". These strengths are not necessarily physical, especially in nursing assessments.
Physical
Patient strengths can be physical. These are often put in terms of what tasks a patient can or cannot do. Can a patient do their own ADLs? Can they independently wash/bathe shower; shave; brush teeth; dress; feed themselves; etc.
I-ADLs concern whether a patient living at home can do their own errands; shopping; prepare own meals; do own housework.
Mental, Social, Spiritual
All non-physical strengths fall into the Mental, Social, and Spiritual areas. Some examples of patient strengths in these areas include:
- Whether they have a support system
- Whether they have supportive family living nearby or in the home
- Whether they have the intellect to follow through on treatments
- Whether they can follow directions
- Whether they can show certain skills needed to perform tasks, for example, a newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetic must show that he/she can draw up and inject the correct dose of insulin
Faith and Spiritual strengths help many patients (not all, but many) deal with chronic or terminal illnesses. Faith is highly linked to resiliency, or the ability to bounce back after negative events.
