is to improve a person’s physical and emotional well-being
Core of Conservation Model
Nursing’s role in conservation is to help the person with the process of “keeping together” the total person through the least amount of effort.

Three Aspects of Environment according to Levine (upon Bates classification)
Operational
Perceptual
Conceptual
consists of the undetected natural forces and that impinge on the individual.
Operational environment
consists of information that is recorded by the sensory organs.
Perceptual environment
is influenced by language, culture, ideas, and cognition.
Conceptual environment
is the pattern of adaptive change of the whole being.
Health (Levine)
Nursing is the human interaction relying on communication, rooted in the individual human being’s organic dependency in his relationships with other human beings.
Conservation Model by Myra Estrin Levine
is the process of change and integration of the organism in which the individual retains integrity or wholeness.
Adaptation (Levine)
includes joining together and is the product of adaptation, including nursing intervention and patient participation to maintain a safe balance.
Conservation
The singular yet integrated response of the individual to forces in the environment.
