    Study Notes

    Neuman Systems Model

    • A nursing model is a set of abstract and general ideas, concepts, or statements that provide a framework for organizing ideas about clients, environment, health, and nursing.
    • The Neuman Systems Model is based on the principles of systems theory and views the client as an open system that interacts with the environment.

    Environment

    • The internal environment consists of all forces or interactive influences internal to or contained solely within the boundaries of the defined client/client system (INTRAPERSONAL).
    • The external environment consists of all forces, interactions, or influences external to or existing outside of the defined client/client system (INTERPERSONAL & EXTRAPERSONAL).
    • The created environment is unconsciously developed by the client as a "symbolic expression of system wholeness" and supersedes and encompasses both internal and external environments.

    Stressors

    • Stressors are tension-producing stimuli/forces on the environment and can be classified as:
      • Intrapersonal (inside the client/client system)
      • Interpersonal (outside the client/client system but in close proximity)
      • Extrapersonal (outside the client/client system at a distal range)

    Client System

    • The client system is the basic structure (core) that is surrounded by:
      • Flexible line of defense
      • Normal line of defense
      • Lines of resistance
    • The flexible line of defense is the outer boundary of the client system that prevents stressor invasion and protects the normal line of defense.
    • The normal line of defense is the usual level of health/wellness that responds and changes according to coping or environmental factors.
    • The lines of resistance are protective mechanisms that attempt to stabilize the client system and return to the usual wellness level.

    Health and Wellness

    • Health is defined as system stability, and illness is a state of insufficiency or excess expenditure of energy.
    • Reconstitution is the process of adjusting to stressors and achieving optimal use of existing resources for client system stability.

    Nursing

    • The major concern of nursing is keeping the client system stable through assessing the effects and possible effects of environmental stressors and assisting client adjustments required for optimal wellness.
    • Nursing actions are initiated to retain, attain, and maintain optimal client health through the concept of "prevention as intervention".

    Levels of Prevention

    • There are three levels of prevention:
      • Primary prevention: protecting the normal line of defense and strengthening the flexible line of defense by identifying actual or potential risk factors.
      • Secondary prevention: strengthening internal lines of resistance and reducing the reaction to a stressor by providing treatment of symptoms.
      • Tertiary prevention: re-adaptation and stability after secondary prevention, protecting reconstitution or return to wellness.

    Neuman Nursing Process

    • The Neuman nursing process involves:
      • Setting shared goals that enable the client to attain optimal health
      • Making a diagnosis that requires consideration of both the client's and caregiver's perceptions
      • Identifying outcomes and implementing interventions using the three dimensions of prevention
      • Evaluating whether balance is restored
