Document Summary
Concept of attachment applies at very early development phase of a lifespan. Antecedents of attachment behaviour include any number of fear-provoking or challenging situations, as well as interaction that involve conflict. Illness have these characteristics- and so are broadly included as antecedents. Defining attributes of attachment behaviour includes: proximity, or keeping to one or more. 2) protest following involuntary and perceived permanent separation from preferred other, (separation protest arises when proximity between the person and attachment figure is interrupted) 3) the presence of a secure base, viewed as necessary developmental exploration and growth. Knowledge about attachment will help nurses mediate the potentially negative impact of the health transition on development task and promote high-level wellness and successful aging. Characterization of aging as progressive decline and loss are critically scrutinized. Aging as the time of a life when one"s family and friend can lead to an overall view of older adulthood as a time of loss and decline.
