Study Notes

Martha Rogers’ Science of Unitary Human Beings

Rogers' model emphasizes the totality of experience and existence within healthcare
The model is based on homeodynamic principles:
- Energy fields: human beings are energy fields that constantly interact with the environment.
- Openness: human beings are open systems, meaning they exchange energy with the environment.
- Pattern: human beings have unique and constantly changing patterns.
- Pandimensionality: human beings exist in a multidimensional reality that cannot be reduced to simple parts.
Critical thinking pattern has three components:
- Novelty: Exploring new ways of thinking and acting
- Complexity: The need to consider multiple factors and perspectives
- Simultaneity: Exploring everything at once

Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory

Self-care is the ability of individuals to perform activities that maintain life, health and well-being.
Basic conditioning factors influence the ability to perform self-care actions.
Self-care requisites are actions needed for self-care and are categorized as:
- Universal: essential for life and maintaining the integrity of human structure and functioning.
- Developmental: specific actions needed during various developmental stages.
- Health deviation: actions needed when facing illness, injury or disease.
Self-care deficit arises when individuals are unable to perform self-care actions effectively. This is when nursing care is required.
Nursing agency describes the unique ability of nurses to assist individuals in meeting their health needs.
Nursing Systems are formed when individuals require assistance exceeding their self-care ability:
- Wholly Compensatory: The patient is unable to perform self-care actions and requires complete assistance.
- Partly Compensatory: The patient and nurse share responsibility for performing self-care actions.
- Supportive-Educative: The patient is capable of performing self-care, but requires support and education.

Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory - Key Concepts

Human being: an integrated whole composed of physical, psychological and social aspects with varying self-care abilities.
Health: well-being characterized by contentment, happiness, and movement towards self-ideals.
Nursing: an art through which nurses give specialized assistance to individuals requiring self-care support.
Environment: influences the ability to perform self-care.

Imogene King's Goal Attainment Theory

Focuses on the dynamic interaction between nurse and patient.
Emphasizes mutual goal setting based on the patient's needs and the nurse's expertise.
Key components:
- Perception: how the nurse and patient perceive each other and the situation.
- Communication: essential for establishing and achieving goals.
- Roles: both nurse and patient have specific roles in achieving health goals.
- Stress: a factor that can influence health and goal attainment.
The theory is based on three systems:
- Personal System: focuses on individual perceptions, self, and growth.
- Interpersonal System: involves communication, transactions, and roles between nurse and patient.
- Social System: considers the influence of organizations, authority, and social interactions.

Imogene King's Goal Attainment Theory - Key Components

Nurse-Patient Transaction Model:
- Action: The nurse or patient initiates a behavior in the care process.
- Reaction: The response to action, which can be from either the nurse or patient.
- Interaction: Communication and exchange based on actions and reactions.
- Transaction: Reaching a mutual understanding and agreeing on a plan for achieving the patient's goals.
The theory emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, and interaction in achieving mutually set health goals.
