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.
