    Study Notes

    Theory of Conservation

    • The goal of conservation is health and strength, and to confront disability.
    • The primary focus is on keeping the wholeness of the individual together.
    • Through conservation, individuals are able to confront obstacles, adapt accordingly, and maintain their uniqueness.
    • The theory changed the profession's understanding of what it means to be an expert, placing the designation on the nurse who provided the most exquisite nursing care.

    Organismic Response

    • Change in the behavior of an individual during an attempt to adapt to the environment.
    • Helps individuals to protect and maintain their integrity.
    • External environment is divided into three: Perceptual Level, Operational Level, and Conceptual Level.
    • Events manifested in the life process indicate the extent to which a human being achieves maximum health according to some value system.

    Pandimensionality

    • Nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.
    • Provides an infinite domain without limit, essentially a spaceless and timeless reality.
    • Best expresses the idea of a unitary whole.
    • Environmental fields are infinite, and change is continuously innovative, unpredictable, and characterized by increasing diversity.

    Nursing Process

    • Assessment involves a total pattern of events at any given point in space-time.
    • Simultaneous state of the patient and his/her environment, including rhythms of the life processes.
    • Supplementary data, categorical disease entities, and subsystem pathology are also considered.
    • The assessment should be a comprehensive assessment of the human and environmental fields.

    Assumptions

    • The principles of hemodynamics postulate a way of perceiving unitary human beings.
    • The individual is capable of providing self-care to meet some health needs.
    • Humans require continuous, deliberate self-care for health development and well-being.
    • Nurses maintain the capacity of individuals for self-care and assist when they are unable to do so.

    Adaptation Model: Callista Roy

    • Focal Stimuli: most immediate response that confronts the individual and demands the most attention and adaptive energy.
    • Contextual Stimuli: all other stimuli present in the situation that contribute to the strength of the focal stimulus.
    • Residual Stimuli: environmental factors of which the effects are unclear in a given situation.

    Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality: Madeleine Leininger

    • Developed to establish a substantive knowledge base to guide nurses in discovery and use of transcultural nursing practices.
    • During the post-World War II period, Dr. Leininger realized nurses would need transcultural knowledge and practices to function with people of diverse cultures worldwide.
    • Persons become patients who require nursing care when they have needs for help that cannot be met independently.
    • Patients experience distress or feelings of helplessness as the result of unmet needs for help.
