Study Notes

Needs Theory

  • A theoretical framework used by nurses to promote the health of individuals and families
  • Helps nurses understand the basics of caring for patients and promoting their health.

Basic Human Needs

  • Essential for health and survival of all people
  • Can be physical or psychosocial
  • When needs are met, individuals are considered healthy
  • Unmet needs increase the risk of illness

Determining Client Needs

  • Assessment is used to determine the clients needs
  • Collect data through interview and head-to-toe assessments
  • Validate data by comparing objective and subjective data
  • Analyze the data and formulate a nursing diagnosis

Why is it important to understand needs?

  • Nurses assess and plan health care for individuals
  • All people have the same basic needs, but these needs are modified by health and personal culture

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

  • Ranked needs in order of importance, starting with basic needs
  • Many nursing programs and textbooks are based on Maslow’s theory
  • Nursing care is prioritized using this theory

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Key Concepts

  • Needs are common to all people, regardless of age, sex, race, social class, or health status
  • Meeting basic needs leads to healthier, happier, and more effective individuals
  • Basic needs are universal across cultures
  • Individual perception of needs can vary based on cultural standards and learning

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs - Levels

  • Physiological needs: Essential for survival. Include: air, food, water, shelter, rest, temperature regulation (most essential need is water).
  • Safety and security needs: Include: physical safety, security, stability, freedom from fear
  • Love and belonging needs: Include: friendships, affection, intimacy, supportive family interaction
  • Esteem needs: Include: self-esteem, confidence, appreciation of own worth, esteem from others
  • Self-actualization needs: Include: realizing maximum potential, creativity, flexibility, courage, open-mindedness, self-confidence, humility

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Important Points

  • The hierarchy works in a way that lower levels of needs must be met before higher ones can be achieved.
  • However, the order in which these needs are felt can change depending on the individual and situation.

Virginia Henderson’s Needs Model

  • Developed a conceptual model for nursing based on 14 needs common to all individuals
  • This model is the basis for the JAC needs framework

JAC Needs Framework

  • Built on Virginia Henderson’s 14 needs
  • Each need has an organizer to help identify the specific issue or concern related to that need

JAC Needs Framework - Need & Organizer Examples

  • Comfort: Pain, Anxiety, Hygiene, Temperature, Body Alignment, Sensory Deprivation, Sensory Overload, Effects of Illness and Hospitalization
  • Rest: Lack of meaningful or purposeful activity, changes in comfort interfering with rest.
  • Sleep: Changes in quality or quantity of sleep.
  • Safety: Risk of infection or injury related to environment (e.g., mechanical, thermal, chemical, biological), body structure or function (e.g., musculoskeletal, neurological, integument), or developmental abilities.
  • Activity: Increased mobility, decreased mobility, decreased activity tolerance.
  • Nutrition: Altered abilities to ingest, digest, absorb, or altered nutritional requirement, metabolism, fluid, and electrolyte balance.
  • Elimination: Altered fluid output (e.g., urine, gastric losses) and bowel excretion (e.g., diarrhea/constipation).
  • Oxygenation: Altered ventilation (e.g., ineffective airway clearance, ineffective breathing pattern, impaired gas exchange) and tissue perfusion (e.g., blood vessel changes, blood pressure abnormalities, decreased CO, decreased oxygen carrying capacity of blood).
  • Self-Esteem: Altered self-worth, identity, body image, or role.
  • Social Interaction: Altered communication, patterns of interaction, sexuality, valuing, and goals in life.

Learning Needs

  • Clients may have learning needs related to any of the JAC framework needs
  • Identified by the nurse or client
  • Example: Knowledge Deficit - indicating the client needs more information about a specific issue
  • Example: Health Seeking Behavior - related to any need (e.g., parenting, coping with illness)

JAC Needs Framework - Semester Breakdown

  • Comfort: Semesters 1 and 2
  • Safety: Semesters 1 and 2
  • Activity: Semesters 2 and 3
  • Nutrition: Semesters 2, 3, and 5
  • Elimination: Semester 3
  • Oxygenation: Semester 4
  • Rest: Semester 4
  • Sleep: Semester 4
  • Self-Esteem: Semester 4
  • Social Interaction: Semester 3
  • Learning: All Semesters

JAC Needs Framework: Nursing Diagnosis Statement

  • Unmet (or potential) need for need_, due to organizer, related to reason (no medical diagnosis).

Need: Comfort

  • State of physical and psychological ease allowing for control and readiness for action

Need: Comfort - Organizers

  • Pain
  • Anxiety
  • Hygiene
  • Temperature
  • Body alignment
  • Sensory deprivation
  • Sensory overload
  • Effects of illness and hospitalization

Need: Comfort - Pain

  • Any pain causes discomfort
  • Fear of pain can be just as bad, or worse, than the pain itself
  • Example: Unmet need for comfort due to pain related to right knee swelling.*
