Study Notes
Dorothy E. Johnson – Behavioral System Model (BSM)
- Born August 21, 1919, in Savannah, Georgia; passed away February 4, 1999, in Key Largo, Florida.
- Education includes an A.A. from Armstrong Junior College, a BSN from Vanderbilt University, and an MPH from Harvard University.
- Held various academic positions at Vanderbilt University and UCLA, becoming Professor Emeritus in January 1979.
Key Contributions and Influence
- Influenced by Florence Nightingale, emphasizing nursing's role in helping individuals prevent or recover from disease.
- Draws on Systems Theory concepts from theorists like Talcott Parsons, Rapoport, Chinn, von Bertalanffy, and Buckley.
Behavioral System Model (BSM) Overview
- Defines nursing as an external force preserving patient behavior organization during health threats.
- Each individual has unique patterned, purposeful, and repetitive behaviors forming a behavioral system.
Major Concepts
- Behavior: Output of individual inner processes reacting to sensory changes.
- System: Interdependent parts functioning as a whole.
- Behavioral System: Integrated unit of patterned, purposeful behaviors limiting interaction with the environment.
Behavioral Subsystems
- Attachment-Affiliative: Social bonds promoting security.
- Dependency: Seeking approval or assistance.
- Ingestive: Appetite and eating behaviors influenced by social and psychological factors.
- Eliminative: Waste elimination patterns.
- Sexual: Procreation and gratification behaviors.
- Achievement: Mastery over self or environment.
- Aggressive-Protective: Functions for protection and preservation.
Additional Concepts
- Equilibrium: Transitory resting state of harmony.
- Functional Requirements: Stability maintenance requirements from the environment (protection, nurturance, stimulation).
- Tension: Result of disturbance in equilibrium.
- Stressor: Stimuli causing tension and instability.
Metaparadigms in BSM
- Nursing: Focuses on optimizing patient behavior and maintaining health.
- Person: Comprises behavioral subsystems with interdependent and patterned behaviors.
- Health: Dynamic state influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors.
- Environment: External influences that impact the behavioral system's equilibrium.
Theoretical Assertions
- Structural and functional requirements define each subsystem.
- Subsystems operate under similar functional needs for protection, nurturance, and stimulation.
- Development influenced by various factors including motivation and experience.
Acceptance and Application in Nursing
- Utilized in diverse settings—clients and communities—with a focus on behavior, rather than medical processes.
- Inspired the development of assessment instruments and nursing education curriculum based on behavioral systems.
Critique and Importance
- Johnson's model is recognized for its clarity and comprehensiveness across nursing practice.
- The theory emphasizes behavioral focus, distinguishing nursing from other health professions.
- Provides a structured framework for research and education, guiding nursing curriculum development and practice.
Further Development Needs
- Acknowledged gaps in knowledge, especially in preventive nursing and defining additional subsystems.
- Encourages exploration of effective nursing actions for disease prevention and health maintenance.
