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.

- Nursing theories are essential because they provide a foundation for nursing practice and guide future development within the discipline.
Importance of Nursing Theories

- Serve as a basis for the development of nursing education and training programs.
Nursing Meta Paradigm

- 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.
