Dorothy Johnson Flashcards
In 1980, Johnson published her
conceptualization of
_________________________________________________.
“Behavioral System Model for Nursing”
What influenced Johnson’s Model?
was greatly influenced
by Florence Nightingale’s book, “Notes in Nursing”
the output of intra organismic structures and processes as they are coordinated and articulated by and responsive to changes in sensory stimulation.
Behavior
“A system is a whole that functions as a whole by virtue of
the interdependence of its parts”
system
encompasses the patterned, repetitive, and purposeful ways
of behaving; The system is usually flexible
enough to accommodate the
influences affecting it
Behavioral System
parts of the
behavioral system evolve into __________ with specialized tasks.
subsystems
“a mini system with its
own particular goal and function that can be maintained as long as its relationship to other subsystems or the environment is not disturbed”
subsystem
seven subsystems of behavior according to Johnson
-Attachment affiliative subsystem
-Dependency subsystem
-Ingestive subsystem
-Eliminative subsystem
-Sexual subsystem
-Aggressive-Protective subsystem
-Achievement subsystem
“social inclusion, intimacy, and the
formation and attachment of a strong
social bond”
Attachment affiliative subsystem
“approval, attention or recognition, and physical assistance (helping or nurturing).
Dependency subsystem
“the emphasis
is on the meaning and structures of the social events surrounding the occasion when the food is eaten, its function is
appetite satisfaction.”
Ingestive subsystem
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.
Eliminative subsystem
“both biological and social factors affect the behavior in this subsystem.”
The function of this subsystem is
is procreation and gratification.
Sexual subsystem
“related to the behavior concerned with protection and self-preservation; one that generates defensive response from the individual when life or
territory is being threatened.
Aggressive-Protective subsystem
“provokes behavior that attempts to control the environment; intellectual, physical,
creative, mechanical and social skills
Achievement subsystem
three functional
requirements of each subsystems
must be protected
must be nurtured
must be stimulated
a key concept in
nursing’s specific goal that is defined as “a stabilized but more or less transitory, resting
state in which the individual is in harmony with himself and with his environment
Equilibrium
implies that deviations will be detected and
corrected.
Regulation
a state of being
stretched or strained and can be viewed as an end-product of a disturbance in equilibrium
Tension
can be constructive in
adaptive change or destructive in inefficient use of energy, hindering adaptation and causing potential structural
damage
Tension
Internal or external stimuli that produce tension and result in a
degree of instability
stressors
may be positive in that
they are present; or negative in that something desired or required is absent.
stimuli
TRUE OR FALSE
There is organization, interaction, interdependency, and integration of the parts and elements of behaviors that make up the system”.
TRUE
