A

Florence Nightingale’s Theory of Environmental Adaptation

31
Q

According to this theory, nursing is a process that demands an interpersonal and interactive relationship with the client. The human Person is seen as a holistic being with interacting subsystems (biological, psychological, social, and cognitive) and with an inherent genetic base and spiritual drive; the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Environment is seen a both internal and external and includes stressors as well as resources for adapting to them. This theory presents 5 aims of all nursing interventions: to build trust, to promote positive orientation, to promote perceived control, to promote strengths, and to set mutual goals that are health directed. The nurse creates a model of the client’s world and uses that model to plan interventions and to demonstrate and support health producing behaviors from within the client’s worldview.

A

Helen Erickson’s Modeling and Role-Modeling Theory

32
Q

Within this framework, nursing is mediated by “professional, personal, scientific, esthetic, and ethical human care transactions.” Person is seen holistically with the knowledge that the whole is greater than, and different from, the sum of the parts; every person is a valued individual to be cared for, cared about, and understood. Health is a subjective states that has to do with unity and harmony; illness can be understood as disharmony. Caring is achieved through the environment which provides social, cultural, and spiritual influences that may be perceived as caring. The foremost role of the nurse is to establish and intimate, caring relationship with the client.

34
Q

A

Jean Watson’s Theory of Transpersonal Caring and Caring Science

35
Q

Within this theory, Nursing is the scientific study of human and environmental energy fields. A person is a unified whole, defined as a human energy field; human beings evolve irreversibly and unidirectionally in space and time. Health is understood in terms of culture and individually defined by the subjective values of each person. The environment is the environmental energy field that is in constant interaction with the human energy field.

A

Martha Rogers Science of Unitary Human Beings

36
Q

According to this theory, the person is seen as a dynamic energy field; humans are identified by their field patterns. Health is expanding consciousness that includes and individual’s total pattern; pathologic conditions are manifestations of the individual’s total patter. Environment is the wholeness of the universe - no boundaries. People are not separate entities, but instead are “open energy systems constantly interacting and evolving with each other.”
Health and illness are paired as a unitary process of complementary forces of order and disorder that are essential in each person’s continuing development. A significant illness often results in a turning point (a choice point) for a person where he or she sees him or herself differently.

A

Margaret Newman’s Theory of Expanding Consciousness

37
Q

A person can be viewed only as a unified, whole being. Health is a process of becoming; a personal commitment, an unfolding, a process r/t lived experiences. Environment is the universe. The human universe is inseparable and evolving as one. The concept of presence is critically important for this theory because the nurse offers authentic presence to each client in the process of becoming and living experiences.
