Study Notes
Dorothy Johnson's Behavioral System Model
- Dorothy Johnson (August 12, 1919 - February 4, 1999) developed the Behavioral System Model.
- The model is based on 3 assumptions and consists of 7 subsystems of behavior:
-
- Adjustment
-
- Attachment
-
- Dependency
-
- Ingestion
-
- Elimination
-
- Sexuality
-
- Aggression
-
- The model focuses on the goal of achieving a balance between the subsystems.
Structural Characteristics
- The model has 4 structural characteristics:
-
- Goal
-
- Set
-
- Choice of behavior
-
- Behavior (action)
-
Nursing Process
- The nursing process involves 4 stages:
-
- Assessment
-
- Diagnosis
-
- Planning and Implementation
-
- Evaluation
-
- The model is used to diagnose behavioral problems, including:
-
- Insufficiency: a state where a subsystem is not functioning
-
- Discrepancy: behavior that does not meet the intended goal
-
- Incompatibility: conflicting goals or behaviors between subsystems
-
- Dominance: overuse of one subsystem regardless of the situation
-
Acceptance and Critique
- The Behavioral System Model has been accepted by the nursing community
- However, it has been criticized for its limitations and need for further development
