Study Notes
Imogene King: Theory of Goal Attainment
- Nursing is defined as a dynamic interplay of action, reaction, and interaction between the nurse and client, enabling them to share perceptions in nursing scenarios.
- The nursing process involves mutual understanding and goal-setting through communication, facilitating shared objectives and pathways to achieve them.
Key Concepts of the Theory
- Patients and nurses start as strangers but unite in healthcare settings for mutual assistance in health maintenance.
- Effective communication allows for goal-setting and collective actions towards achieving those goals.
Conceptual System Overview
- The theory distinguishes three primary systems: Personal, Interpersonal, and Social.
- Personal System encompasses individual characteristics; Interpersonal System involves group dynamics; and Social System relates to broader societal influences.
Personal System Dynamics
- Self: Represents a person’s complete subjective environment, evolving as a goal-oriented open system.
- Perception: The process of interpreting and organizing sensory data, shaping an individual’s reality expressed through their behavior.
- Growth and Development: Describes the ongoing changes in individuals, transitioning from potential to self-actualization.
- Body Image: Represents one’s perception of their physical self and how they believe others view them, distinguishing it from their overall self-perception.
- Space and Time: Space is understood as a territory defined by its physical presence and behavior; time relates to the unique human experience of events.
Interpersonal System Characteristics
- This system includes how humans interact, including dyads (two individuals), triads (three), and larger groups, with complexity increasing with group size.
- Interaction: Observable behaviors during mutual engagements involving perception, judgment, action, and reaction.
- Communication: A method of transferring information, which can occur face-to-face or through various media.
- Transaction: An interactive process where individuals engage with their environment to achieve valued goals through observable behaviors.
Summary of Interactions in Nursing
- Effective interactions depend on mutual presence and goal direction, characterized by distinct ideas and attitudes contributed by each participant.
- Communication is pivotal for establishing relationships and successfully navigating the transactional nature of nurse-client dynamics.
