    1.6 - Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    Uploaded by

    Okoye Cynthia
    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs organizes human needs into a pyramid structure, with physiological needs like food and shelter at the bottom as the most fundamental, followed by safety needs, belonging and love needs, and self-esteem needs as one progresses up the pyramid. Self-actualization, achieving one's full potential, is at the top as the most advanced need. Maslow acknowledged that different needs can be present at the same time and that meeting lower level needs allows one to focus on higher level needs.

    6: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs


    • Nurses must continually organize patient data to be recorded, either written or electronically. One model for
    organizing and prioritizing patient care needs is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
    • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid, with the greatest and most fundamental
    levels of needs at the bottom, and the need for self-actualization at the top.
    • Human needs, listed in order of importance by Maslow, are Physiological; Safety; Love and Belonging; Esteem; and
    Self-actualization.
    • Maslow acknowledged that different levels are likely to be present at the same time. The hierarchy identifies the
    order of progression when needs are met.

    Physiological Needs
    Physiological needs are required for survival. If physiological are not met, the body cannot continue to function. The
    basic physiological needs are:

    • Air
    • Water
    • Food
    • Clothing
    • Shelter

    Safety Needs
    Once physiological needs are met, individual safety takes precedence. Safety and Security needs include:

    • Personal and family safety


    • Financial security
    • Health and well-being

    Love/belonging Needs
    After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled, the third layer of human needs are interpersonal. This involves feelings
    of belonging. Deficiencies in interpersonal needs, due to neglect, shunning, ostracism, etc., can impact an individual’s
    ability to form and maintain emotionally significant relationships in general, such as:

    • Friendship
    • Intimacy
    • Family

    Humans need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, whether it comes from larger community affiliations or
    simply a few close friends. Without these connections, many people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety,
    and clinical depression. This need for belonging can sometimes overcome physiological and security needs. For
    example, a person with anorexia may ignore the need to eat and the security of health for a feeling of control and
    belonging.

    Esteem
    Esteem represents the normal human desire to be accepted and valued by others. People need to engage themselves
    to gain recognition and have an activity or activities that give the person a sense of contribution, to feel self-valued, be it
    in a profession or hobby. Imbalances at this level can result in low self-esteem or an inferiority complex. Many people
    with low self-esteem will not be able to improve their view of themselves simply by receiving fame, respect, and glory
    externally, but must first accept themselves internally. Psychological imbalances, such as depression, can prevent one

    from obtaining self-esteem on both levels.

    Self-actualization
    This level of need refers to what a person’s full potential is and the realization of that potential. Maslow describes this
    level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be. Individuals may perceive
    or focus on this need very specifically. For example, one individual may have the strong desire to become an ideal
    parent. In another, the desire may be expressed athletically. For others, it may be expressed in paintings, pictures, or
    inventions. Maslow believed that to acquire this level of need, the person must adequately achieve the previous needs.
