    Study Notes

    Nursing Theories

    • Nursing theories are organized bodies of knowledge that define what nursing is, what nurses do, and why they do it.
    • They are based on nursing practice as an art and science, encompassing both caring and applying scientific principles.
    • The first nursing theory was documented in the late 1800s by Florence Nightingale.
    • Nursing theories are essential because they provide a foundation for nursing practice and guide future development within the discipline.

    Importance of Nursing Theories

    • They define and describe nursing practice clearly.
    • Help nurses to understand their roles and functions within the healthcare environment.
    • Provide scientific reasons for nursing interventions by supplying a knowledge base for action.
    • Guide research and inform evidence-based practice.
    • Help to maintain and preserve professional limits and boundaries.
    • Provide a common language and terminology for nurses and other healthcare professionals.
    • Serve as a basis for the development of nursing education and training programs.

    Nursing Meta Paradigm

    • Nursing meta paradigm comprises four fundamental concepts that underpin all nursing theories: Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing.
    • These four concepts provide a framework for understanding the complex interrelationship between the individual, their surroundings, and their health status.

    Categories of Nursing Theories

    • Needs Based Theories: Focus on identifying and addressing the needs of individuals, emphasizing fulfilling basic physiological, safety and security, social, and esteem needs.
    • Interaction Oriented Theories: Highlight the importance of therapeutic nurse-patient relationships, emphasizing communication, empathy, and collaboration to promote healing and well-being.
    • Systems Oriented Theories: Consider the individual within a larger system, acknowledging the influences of family, culture, and the environment.
    • Energy Field Theories: View the individual as an interconnected energy field, emphasizing the importance of balancing and harmonizing energy flows for optimal health and well-being.

    Needs Based Theories Examples

    • Florence Nightingale: Environment Theory - Focuses on the importance of environmental factors in promoting health, such as clean air, water, sanitation, and light.
    • Faye Glenn Abdellah: 21 Nursing Problems Theory - Identifies 21 common nursing problems and suggests a framework for addressing these problems.
    • Virginia Henderson: Defining Nursing - Developed a framework for understanding nursing practice, emphasizing the nurse's role in assisting patients to achieve independence in performing their 14 basic needs.
    • Dorothea Orem: Self-Care Deficit Theory - Focuses on the individual's ability to perform self-care tasks.
    • Lydia E. Hall: Core, Care, and Cure - Developed a framework that divides nursing care into three areas: core (general care), care (therapeutic care), and cure (medical care).
    • Jean Watson: Philosophy and Theory of Transpersonal Caring (Human Caring) - emphasizes the importance of caring in nursing and how it contributes to healing and promoting well-being.
    • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: A model that categorizes human needs into a hierarchy, from basic physiological needs to self-actualization.

    Interaction Oriented Theories Examples

    • Hildegard E. Peplau: Theory of Interpersonal Relations - emphasized the nurse-patient relationship as a therapeutic process for achieving recovery.
    • Ida Jean Orlando: The Nursing Process Theory - focuses on the importance of understanding the patient's subjective experiences, validating these experiences, and collaboratively developing nursing interventions.
    • Imogene M. King: Goal Attainment Theory - emphasizes the importance of setting goals and working collaboratively with patients to achieve these goals.

    Examples of Other Notable Theories:

    • Martha Rogers: Theory of Unitary Human Beings - views the individual as an energy field and emphasizes the importance of the environment in health and well-being.
    • Patricia Benner: Caring, Clinical Wisdom, and Ethics in Nursing Practice - Emphasizes the importance of clinical wisdom, ethical practice, and the role of caring in building trust and meaningful nurse-patient relationships.
    • Katie Eriksson: Theory of Carative Caring - underscores the importance of "caritas" or loving-kindness in caring for individuals in health and suffering.
