Florence Nightingale
Founder of Modern Nursing and Pioneer of the
Environmental Theory.
Defined Nursing as “the act of utilizing the
environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery.”
Stated that nursing “ought to signify the proper use
of fresh air, light, warmth, cleanliness, quiet, and
the proper selection and administration of diet – all
at the least expense of vital power to the patient.”
Identified five (5) environmental factors: fresh air,
pure water, efficient drainage, cleanliness or
sanitation, and light or direct sunlight.
Ernestine Wiedenbach
Developed The Helping Art of Clinical Nursing conceptual model.
Definition of nursing reflects on nurse-midwife experience as “People may
differ in their concept of nursing, but few would disagree that nursing is
nurturing or caring for someone in a motherly
fashion.”
Guides the nurse action in the art of nursing and
specified four elements of clinical nursing:
philosophy, purpose, practice, and art.
Clinical nursing is focused on meeting the
patient’s perceived need for help in a vision of
nursing that indicates considerable importance
on the art of nursing.
Virginia Henderson
Developed the Nursing Need Theory
Focuses on the importance of increasing the patient’s independence to
hasten their progress in the hospital.
Emphasizes the basic human needs and how nurses can assist in meeting
those needs.

“The nurse is expected to carry out a physician’s therapeutic plan, but
individualized care is result of the nurse’s creativity in planning for care.”
Jean Watson
Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. She
pioneered the Philosophy and Theory of
Transpersonal Caring.
“Nursing is concerned with promoting health, preventing illness, caring for
the sick, and restoring health.”
Mainly concerns on how nurses care for their patients, and how that caring
progresses into better plans to promote health and wellness, prevent illness
and restore health.
Focuses on health promotion, as well as the treatment of diseases.
Caring is central to nursing practice and promotes health better than a
simple medical cure.
4. “Development of a helping-trust
“Developing and sustaining a helping
relationship” became “development
trusting authentic caring
of a helping-trusting, human caring
relationship”
relation” (in 2004 Watson website)
Within assisting with the gratification of human needs, Watsons hierarchy of needs
begins with lower-order biophysical needs or survival needs, the lower-order
psychophysical needs or functional needs, the higher order psychosocial needs or
integrative needs, and finally the higher order intrapersonal-interpersonal need or
growth-seeking need.
Dorothea E. Orem
In her Self-Care Theory, she defined Nursing as “The act of assisting others
in the provision and management of self-care to maintain or improve human
functioning at home level of effectiveness.”
잘 공부하다 -study well >-<
Focuses on each individual’s ability to perform self-care.
Composed of three interrelated theories:
o (1) the theory of self-care,
This theory focuses on the performance or practice of activities that individuals
initiate and perform on their own behalf to maintain life, health and well-being.
Self-Care Requisites
Self-care Requisites or requirements can be defined as actions directed toward
the provision of self-care. It is presented in three categories:
Universal Self-Care Requisites
Universal self-care requisites are associated with life processes and the
maintenance of the integrity of human structure and functioning.
The maintenance of a sufficient intake of air
The maintenance of a sufficient intake of water
The maintenance of a sufficient intake of food
The provision of care associated with elimination process and
excrements
The maintenance of a balance between activity and rest
The maintenance of a balance between solitude and social
interaction
The prevention of hazards to human life, human functioning, and
human well-being
The promotion of human functioning and development within social
groups in accord with human potential, known human limitations,
and the human desire to be normal
Normalcy is used in the sense of that which is essentially human and that
which is in accord with the genetic and constitutional characteristics and the
talents of individuals.
Developmental self-care requisites
Developmental self-care requisites are “either specialized expressions of
universal self-care requisites that have been particularized for
developmental processes or they are new requisites derived from a condition
or associated with an event.”
Health deviation self-care requisites
Health deviation self-care requisites are required in conditions of illness,
injury, or disease or may result from medical measures required to diagnose
and correct the condition.
Seeking and securing appropriate medical assistance
Being aware of and attending to the effects and results of pathologic
conditions and states
Effectively carrying out medically prescribed diagnostic,
therapeutic, and rehabilitative measures
Being aware of and attending to or regulating the discomforting or
deleterious effects of prescribed medical measures
잘 공부하다 -study well >-<
Modifying the self-concept (and self-image) in accepting oneself as
being in a particular state of health and in need of specific forms of
health care
Learning to live with the effects of pathologic conditions and states
and the effects of medical diagnostic and treatment measures in a
lifestyle that promotes continued personal development
o (2) the self-care deficit theory, and
This theory delineates when nursing is needed. Nursing is required when an
adult (or in the case of a dependent, the parent or guardian) is incapable of
or limited in the provision of continuous effective self-care. Orem identified
5 methods of helping:
Acting for and doing for others
Guiding others
Supporting another
Providing an environment promoting personal development in
relation to meet future demands
Teaching another
Theory of Nursing System
This theory is the product of a series of relations between the persons:
legitimate nurse and legitimate client. This system is activated when the
client’s therapeutic self-care demand exceeds available self-care agency,
leading to the need for nursing.
Wholly Compensatory Nursing System
This is represented by a situation in which the individual is unable “to
engage in those self-care actions requiring self-directed and controlled
ambulation and manipulative movement or the medical prescription to
refrain from such activity… Persons with these limitations are socially
dependent on others for their continued existence and well-being.”
Example: care of a newborn, care of client recovering from surgery
in a post-anesthesia care unit
Partial Compensatory Nursing System
This is represented by a situation in which “both nurse and perform care
measures or other actions involving manipulative tasks or ambulation…
[Either] the patient or the nurse may have a major role in the performance of
care measures.”
Example: Nurse can assist postoperative client to ambulate, Nurse
can bring a meal tray for client who can feed himself
Supportive-Educative System
This is also known as supportive-developmental system, the person “is able
to perform or can and should learn to perform required measures of
externally or internally oriented therapeutic self-care but cannot do so
without assistance.”
Example: Nurse guides a mother how to breastfeed her baby,
Counseling a psychiatric client on more adaptive coping strategies.

Assessment
Diagnosis and prescription; determine why nursing is needed.
Analyze and interpret by making a judgment regarding care.
Design of a nursing system and plan for delivery of care.
Production and management of nursing systems.
Step 1 – Collect Data in Six Areas
1. The person’s health status
2. The physician’s perspective of the person’s health status
3. The person’s perspective of his or health health
4. The health goals within the context of life history, lifestyle, and
health status.
5. The person’s requirements for self-care
6. The person’s capacity to perform self-care
Nursing Diagnosis & Care Plans
Step 2
The nurse designs a system that is wholly or partly compensatory or
supportive-educative.
The two actions are: (1) Bringing out a good organization of the
components of patients’ therapeutic self-care demands. (2) Selection
of combination of ways of helping that will be effective and
efficient in compensating for/overcoming patient’s self-care deficits.
Implementation & Evaluation
Step 3
Nurse assists the patient or family in self-care matters to achieve
identified and described health and health-related results. Collecting
evidence in evaluating results achieved against results specified in
the nursing system design.
Actions are directed by etiology component of nursing diagnosis.
“The conservation principles do not, of course, operate singly and in isolation from
each other. They are joined within the individual as a cascade of life events,
churning and changing as the environmental challenge is confronted and resolved in
each individual’s unique way. The nurse as a caregiver becomes part of that
environment, bringing to every nursing opportunity his or her own cascading
repertoire of skill, knowledge, and compassion. It is a shared enterprise and each
participant is rewarded.” (Levine, 1989)
Martha E. Rogers
잘 공부하다 -study well >-<
In Roger’s Theory of Human Beings, she defined Nursing as “an art and
science that is humanistic and humanitarian.
The Science of Unitary Human Beings contains two dimensions: the science
of nursing, which is the knowledge specific to the field of nursing that
comes from scientific research; and the art of nursing, which involves using
the science of nursing creatively to help better the life of the patient.
A patient can’t be separated from his or her environment when addressing
health and treatment.
Dorothy E. Johnson
The Behavioral System Model defined Nursing as “an
external regulatory force which acts to preserve the
organization and integration of the patients’ behaviors at
an optimum level under those conditions in which the
behavior constitutes a threat to the physical or social
health, or in which illness is found.”
Advocates the fostering of efficient and effective
behavioral functioning in the patient to prevent illness
and stresses the importance of research-based
knowledge about the effect of nursing care on patients.
Describes the person as a behavioral system with seven
subsystems: the achievement, attachment-affiliative, aggressive-protective,
dependency, ingestive, eliminative, and sexual subsystems.
7 Subsystems of the Behavior System Model
Johnson identifies seven subsystems in the
Behavioral System Model. They are:
7 Johnson's Behavioral System Model
Attachment or affiliative subsystem
-is the “social inclusion intimacy and the
formation and attachment of a strong social
bond.” It is probably the most critical because it
forms the basis for all social organization. On a
general level, it provides survival and security.
Its consequences are social inclusion, intimacy,
and the formation and maintenance of a strong social bond
Dependency subsystem
-is the “approval, attention or recognition and physical assistance.” In the
broadest sense, it promotes helping behavior that calls for a nurturing
response. Its consequences are approval, attention or recognition, and
physical assistance. Developmentally, dependency behavior evolves from
almost total dependence on others to a greater degree of dependence on self.

A certain amount of interdependence is essential for the survival of social
groups.
Ingestive subsystem
-is the “emphasis on the meaning and structures of the social events
surrounding the occasion when the food is eaten.” It should not be seen as
the input and output mechanisms of the system. All subsystems are distinct
subsystems with their own input and output mechanisms. The ingestive
subsystem “has to do with when, how, what, how much, and under what
conditions we eat.”
Eliminative subsystem
-states that “human cultures have defined different socially acceptable
behaviors for excretion of waste, but the existence of such a pattern remains
different from culture to culture.” It addresses “when, how, and under what
conditions we eliminate.” As with the ingestive subsystem, the social and
psychological factors are viewed as influencing the biological aspects of this
subsystem and may be, at times, in conflict with the eliminative subsystem.
Sexual subsystem
-is both a biological and social factor that affects behavior. It has the dual
functions of procreation and gratification. Including, but not limited to,
courting and mating, this response system begins with the development of
gender role identity and includes the broad range of sex-role behaviors.
Aggressive subsystem
-relates to the behaviors concerning protection and self-preservation,
generating a defense response when there is a threat to life or territory. Its
function is protection and preservation. Society demands that limits be
placed on modes of self-protection and that people and their property be
respected and protected.
Achievement subsystem
-provokes behavior that tries to control the environment. It attempts to
manipulate the environment. Its function is control or mastery of an aspect
of self or environment to some standard of excellence. Areas of achievement
behavior include intellectual, physical, creative, mechanical, and social
skills.
Betty Neuman
In Neuman’s System Model, she defined nursing as a “unique profession
in that is concerned with all of the variables
affecting an individual’s response to stress.”
The focus is on the client as a system (which may
be an individual, family, group, or community) and
on the client’s responses to stressors.
The client system includes five variables
(physiological, psychological, sociocultural,
developmental, and spiritual) and is conceptualized
as an inner core (basic energy resources) surrounded by concentric circles
that include lines of resistance, a normal line of defense, and a flexible line
of defense.
Imogene M. King
Conceptual System and Middle-Range Theory of Goal Attainment
“Nursing is a process of action, reaction and interaction by which nurse and
client share information about their perception in a nursing situation” and “a
process of human interactions between nurse and client whereby each perceives
the other and the situation, and through communication,
they set goals, explore means, and agree on means to
achieve goals.”
Focuses on this process to guide and direct nurses in the
nurse-patient relationship, going hand-in-hand with their
patients to meet the goals towards good health.

Explains that the nurse and patient go hand-in-hand in communicating
information, set goals together, and then take actions to achieve those goals.
Hildegard E. Peplau
Joyce Travelbee
States in her Human-to-Human
Relationship Model that the purpose of
잘 공부하다 -study well >-<
nursing was to help and support an individual, family, or community to prevent
or cope with the struggles of illness and suffering and, if necessary, to find
significance in these occurrences, with the ultimate goal being the presence of
hope.
Nursing was accomplished through human-to-human relationships.
Extended the interpersonal relationship theories of Peplau and Orlando.
Madeleine M. Leininger
Culture Care Theory of Diversity and Universality
Defined transcultural nursing as “a substantive area of study and practice
focused on comparative cultural care (caring) values, beliefs, and practices
of individuals or groups of similar or different cultures with the goal of
providing culture-specific and universal nursing care practices in promoting
health or well-being or to help people to face unfavorable human conditions,
illness, or death in culturally meaningful ways.”
Involves learning and understanding various
cultures with regard to nursing and health-illness
caring practices, beliefs, and values with the
intention to implement significant and efficient
nursing care services to people according to their
cultural values and health-illness context.
Focuses on the fact that various cultures have
different and unique caring behaviors and different
health and illness values, beliefs, and patterns of
behaviors.

Conclusion
Margaret A. Newman
Health as Expanding Consciousness
“Nursing is the process of recognizing the
patient in relation to the environment, and it is
the process of the understanding of
consciousness.”
잘 공부하다 -study well >-<
“The theory of health as expanding consciousness was stimulated by
concern for those for whom health as the absence of disease or disability
is not possible . . . “
Nursing is regarded as a connection between the nurse and patient, and
both grow in the sense of higher levels of consciousness.
