    Goal Attainment Theory

    • King's theory revolves around nurse-patient communication where they set goals together and work towards achieving them.
    • The theory states that nursing is a process of action, reaction, and interaction.
    • The nurse and client share information about their perceptions during the nursing situation.
    • The theory was developed in 1960.
    • King believed nursing’s role is to help clients achieve their goals through this process of interaction.
    • King’s 1971 publication “Toward a Theory for Nursing: General Concepts of Human Behavior” further explains this theory.

    King's Conceptual Model

    • King's model comprises three interacting systems: Personal, Interpersonal, and Social.

    Personal Systems

    • Perception: The process of gathering, organizing, interpreting, and transforming data through senses and memory.
      • It is universal, subjective, and based on available information from the present moment.
    • Self: Consists of thoughts and feelings related to one's awareness of being an individual.
    • Growth and Development: Changes in behaviour at the cellular and molecular levels.
      • It usually occurs in a predictable manner, with individual variations.
    • Body Image: The perception of one's body and how others react to one's appearance.
      • It is personal, subjective, acquired, and constantly evolving.
    • Space: It is universal, subjective, and defined by physical territory and behaviour within it.
      • Cultural influences play a role in defining space.
    • Time: The interval between two events, experienced differently by each person.
      • It is universal, unidirectional, irreversible, measurable, and subjective.

    Interpersonal Systems

    • Formed when personal systems interact.
    • Two individuals create a dyad, three create a triad.
    • Interaction: Observable behaviour of two or more people in mutual presence.
      • It is influenced by values, perception, and verbal/nonverbal communication.
    • Communication: Exchange of information between people.
      • It helps develop and maintain relationships, facilitating the functioning of groups.
      • It can be face-to-face, electronic, written, and includes verbal and nonverbal components.
    • Transaction: Series of exchanges between humans and the environment. Includes observable behaviour aimed at achieving goals.
    • Role: Expected behaviour of individuals in a social system.
      • Nurses use their knowledge, skills, and values to interact with clients.
    • Stress: Universal and dynamic, a result of open systems exchanging with their environment.
      • It is subjective and ever-changing, seeking to maintain equilibrium.

    Social Systems

    • Interpersonal systems combine to form larger social systems like religious, educational, healthcare, and political systems.
    • Organization: Environment that influences the availability of resources (human and material).
      • Includes family members, administration, officers, and members.
    • Authority: Can be associated with a position where the holder distributes rewards and sanctions.
      • Professionals hold authority through their knowledge and skills.
      • It is linked to power.
    • Power: Universal, situational, and necessary for avoiding chaos in society.
      • It promotes group integration and is linked to authority and decision-making.
    • Decision Making: Provides order in individual or group living and working.
      • It's goal-oriented and continuously evolving.
    • Status: Defines an individual's or group's position in relation to others within a group or society.
      • It includes advantages, accountability, and requirements.

    King's Conceptual Model of Interaction

    • This model explains the nurse-patient interaction process.

    Propositions

    • King's propositions explain the relationships within her theory:
      • If perceptual accuracy is present in nurse-client interactions, the transaction will occur.
      • If the nurse and patient make the transaction, the goal/goals will be achieved.
      • If goals are attained, satisfaction will occur.
      • If goals are attained, effective nursing care will occur.
      • If transactions are made in nurse-client interactions, growth and development will be enhanced.
      • If role expectations and role performance as perceived by the nurse and the client are congruent, transactions will occur.
      • If role conflict is experienced by the nurse or client or both, stress in the nurse-client relationship will occur.
      • If nurses with special knowledge and skills communicate appropriate information to clients, mutual goal setting and goal-attainment will occur.

    Major Assumptions

    • The focus of nursing is human beings interacting with their environment.
    • This leads to individual health, defined as the ability to function in social roles.
    • The nurse's and client's perceptions influence the interaction process.
    • The goals, needs, and values of both parties influence the interaction.
    • Human beings are open systems constantly interacting with their environment.
    • Individuals have a right to knowledge about themselves and to participate in decisions affecting their health and lives.
    • Health professionals have the responsibility to share information with individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
    • Individuals have the right to accept or reject healthcare.
    • The goals of health professionals and the recipients of healthcare may not always align.
