Three areas of crisis
Type of crisis, phases of crisis, and aspects of crises that have relecance for nurses.
Types of Crises
maturational crisis, situational crisis, and adventitious crisis
Maturational crisis
A process of maturation occurs throughout life. Erikson identified eight stages of G&D in which specific maturational tasks must be mastered. Each developmental stage can be reffered to as a maturational crisis. When a person arrives at a new stage, new coping skills need to be developed. Ex. Marriage, birth of child, and retirement. The ability to resovle a crisis at one stage affects how you move through the next stage.
Situational Crisis
Arises from an external rather than an internal source. Crisis is often unanticipated. Ex. loss of job, change in financial status, death of a loved one, ect. Referred to as "critical life problems", because they are encountered by most people during the course of their lives.
Adventitious Crisis
AKA crisis of disaster. Is not part of everyday life, it is unplanned and accidental. Adventitous crises result from a natural disaster, national disaster, or a crime of violence.
Phases of crisis
