Theoritical Foundation of Nursing Mod 7-8 Theories Flashcards
Her greatest contribution may be her introduction into nursing of a questioning stance about the prevailing models of science
Martha Elizabeth Rogers
She defined nursing as an art and science that is humanistic and humanitarian
Martha Elizabeth Rogers
It is a theory that is directed towards the unitary human is connected with the nature and direction of human development
Science of Unitary Human Beings
It is the knowledge specific to the field of nursing that comes from scientific research
Science of Nursing
Involves using the science of nursing creatively to help better the lives of the patient
Art of Nursing
This theory views nursing as both a science and an art as it provides a way to view the unitary human being, who is integral with the universe.
Science of Unitary Human Beings
The unitary human being and his or her environment are one. True or False
True
It is the belief of the coexistence of the human and environment has greatly influenced the process of change toward better health
Science of Unitary Human Being
In this theory, it is believed that nursing focuses on people and the manifestations that emerge from the mutual human-environmental field process
Science of Unitary Human Being
What are the 8 concepts in the Science of Unitary Human Being
Energy Field, Pattern, Openness, Pan-Dimensionality, Homeodynamic Principles, Helicy, Resonancy, Integrity
It is the fundamental unit of both the living and the non-living
Energy Field
It is an irreducible, indivisible, pan-dimensional energy field identified by pattern and integral with the human field
Environmental Field
It represents characteristics that define energy fields
Pattern
There is no boundary or barrier that can inhibit the flow of energy between humans and the environment which leads to the continuous movement of matter or energy.
Openness
This is a nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes. This term provides for an infinite domain without limit
Pan-dimensionality
What are the 3 Homeodynamic Principles
Helicy, Resonancy and Integrity
It is described as the unpredictable, but continuous, nonlinear evolution of the energy field as evidenced by non-repeating rythmicties.
Helicy
It is an ordered arrangement of rythm characterizing both human field and environment that undergoes continuous dynamic metamorphosis in the human-environmental process
Resonancy
It is the mutual, continuous relationship between the human energy field and the environmental field. The fields that are one integrated but unique to each other
Integrity
What are the assumptions of this theory?
- Man is unified whole processing his own integrity and manifesting characteristics that are more than and different from the sum of his parts.
- Man and the environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy with one another.
- The life process evolves irreversibly and unidirectionally along with the space-time continuum
- Pattern and organization identify the man and reflect his innovative wholeness.
- Man is characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery, language and thought sensation and emotion.
She is the theorist who said that “the condition that validates the existence of a requirement for nursing in an adult is the absence of the ability to maintenance continuously that amount and quality of self-care which is therapeutic in sustaining life and health, in recovering from diseases or injury, or in coping with their effects.
Dorothea Orem
It is the theory that defined nursing as the act of assisting others in the provision and management of self-care to maintain or improve human functioning at the home level of effectiveness.
Self Care Deficit Theory
This theory focuses on each individual’s ability to perform self-care as the practice of activities that individuals initiate and perform on their own behalf in maintaining life, health, and well-being.
Self Care Deficit Theory
It is the performance or practice of activities that individuals initiate and perform on their own behalf to maintain life, health, and well being
Self-care
The human ability or power to engage in self-care and is affected by basic conditioning factors
Self-Care Agency
These are the age, gender, developmental state, health state, socio-cultural orientation, health care system factors, family system factors, patterns of living, environmental factors, and resources adequacy and availability
Basic Conditioning Factors
It is the totality of self-care actions to be performed for some duration to meet known self-care requisites by using valid methods and related sets of actions and operations.
Therapeutic Self-Care Demand
It delineates when nursing is needed. Nursing is required when an adult is incapable of or limited in providing continuous effective self-care
Self-Care Deficit
What are the assumptions of the Self Care Deficit Theory
- To stay alive and remain functional, humans engage in constant communication and connect themselves with the environment
- The power to act deliberately is exercised to identify the needs and to make needed judgments.
- Mature human beings experience privations in the form of action in care of self and others involving making life-sustaining and function-regulating actions.
- Human agency is exercised in discovering, developing, and transmitting to other ways and means to identify needs for and make inputs into self and others.
- Groups of human beings with structured relationships cluster tasks and allocate responsibilities for providing care to group members,
What are the 3 inter-related theories
Theory of Self Care, Theory of Self Care Deficit, and Theory of Nursing Systems
This theory focuses on the performance or practice or activities that individualization initiate and perform on their own behalf to maintain life, health, and well being
Theory of Self Care
What are the 5 methods of Self-Care Deficit
- Acting for and doing for others
- Guiding others
- Supporting another
- Providing an environment promoting personal development about meet future demands
- Teaching another
This theory is the product of a series of relations between the persons”Legitimate nurse and legitimate client. The system is activated when the client’s therapeutic self-care demand exceeds the available self-care agency leading to nursing
Theory of Nursing Systems
It is defined as actions directed towards the provision of self-care. It is presented in 3 categories
Self-Care Requisites
What are the 3 categories of Self-Care Requisites
Universal Self-Care Requisites, Developmental Self-Care Requisites, and Health Deviation Self-Care Requisites
It is the self-care requisites that is associated with the life processes and the maintenance of the human structure and functioning integrity
Universal Self Care Requisites
These are either specialized expressions of universal self-care requisites that have been particularized for development processes
Developmental Self-Care Requisites
These are required in conditions of illness, injury or disease or may result from medical measures required to diagnose and correct the conditions
Health Deviation Self-Care Requisites
What are the universal self-care requisites
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 the 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 individuals’ talents.
It 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.
Wholly Compensatory Nursing System
Persons with these limitations are socially dependent on others for their continued existence and well being
Wholly Compensatory Nursing System
What are some examples of the Wholly Compensatory Nursing System?
Care for a newborn and care of client recovering from surgery in a post-anesthesia care unit
It is represented by a situation in which both nurse and patient perform care measures or other actions involving manipulative tasks or ambulation
Partial Compensatory Nursing System
Either the patient or the nurse may have a major role in the performance of care measures
Partial Compensatory Nursing System
What are some examples of the Partial Compensatory Nursing System
The nurse can assist the post-operative client in ambulating and the Nurse can bring a meal tray for a client who can feed himself
It is also known as a supportive-developmental system. The person can perform or can and should learn to perform required measures of externally or internally oriented therapeutic self-care but cannot do so without assistance.
Supportive-Educative System
What are some examples of the Supportive-Educative System
Nurse guides a mother on how to breastfeed her baby and Counselling a psychiatric client on more adaptive coping strategies
