Study Notes
Martha Rogers’ Science of Unitary Human Beings Conceptual Model
- Rogerian Model is based on four building blocks: energy field, universe of open systems, pattern, and four dimensionality.
- Energy Field: identifies the problems, concerns and disturbances about which person seeks help.
- Pattern: is defined as the distinguishing characteristic of an energy field perceived as single waves.
- Pan Dimensionality: is defined as non- linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.
- Homeodynamic Principles: refers to the balance between the dynamic life process and environment.
- Resonancy: Wave patterns are continuously changing in environmental and human energy fields.
- Helicy: The nature of change is unpredictable, continuous, and innovative.
- Integrality: Energy fields of humans and environment are in continuous mutual process.
Betty Neuman’s System Model
- The model is dynamic because it is based on the client's continuous relationship to environmental stress factors.
- Neuman model is based on the philosophy that each person is layered multidimensional being.
- Each layer in the model consists of 5 person variables or subsystems: Physiological, Psychological, Socio-cultural, Developmental, Spiritual
- The basic structure of the central core consists of basic survival factors.
- The flexible and normal line of defense and the lines of resistance are essential functions as protective mechanisms for the basic structure to preserve client system integrity.
- The flexible line of defense forms the outer layer of the defined client system.
- The lines of resistance contain known and unknown internal and external resource factors that support the client's basic structure and normal defense line.
Neuman Model: Four Adaptive Modes
- Physiologic-Physical: people as individuals interact as physical beings with the environment. (Senses; fluid electrolyte, acid- base balance; neurologic function; endocrine function)
- Self concept: composite beliefs and feelings that a person holds about him or herself at a given time; sense or purpose.
- Role Function: roles on people in society filing their needs for social integrity, relating self to others. (Individual needs to know who one is in relation to others to act.)
- Interpersonal: assist the patient whose behavior is proportional to social demands (To assist the patient who is able to modify his behavior in ways that it supports biological imperatives.)
Neuman Model: System is out of Balance When:
- Insufficiency- does not get enough of something.
- Discrepancy- not optimally working.
- Incompatibility- subsystems conflict.
- Dominance- one subsystem is always used.
Neuman Model: Functional Requirements Needed by Each Subsystem to Fulfill its Function:
- Nurturance: provides adequate input to sustain behavior.
- Protection: protects from noxious stimuli that threaten the survival of the behavioral system.
- Simulation: continues growth of the behavior.
Neuman Model: Nurse Goals
- Contribute to patient welfare as that of fostering efficient and effective behavioral functioning in the person both to prevent illness and during and following illness.
- Reduce stressful stimuli.
- Support natural adaptive process.
- Makes changes to environment.
- The focus is patient, not illness.
