Goal of nursing is to assist individuals, families, or communities to prevent or cope with illness and suffering and to find meaning in these experiences
Travelbee believed that the patient's perception of illness is influenced by their spiritual values
Nurses' philosophical beliefs about illness and suffering determine their ability to assist patients in finding meaning in their experiences
Emphasized the importance of empathy and sympathy in developing a human-to-human relationship between the nurse and the patient

Hildegard Peplau

Known as “The Mother of Psychiatric Nursing" and "The Nurse of the Century"
Well known for her Theory of Interpersonal Relations
Described the nurse-patient relationship as a significant therapeutic interpersonal process
Identified four psychobiological experiences that influence patient responses: needs, frustrations, conflicts, and anxieties
Defined six nursing roles: Stranger, Resource Person, Teacher, Leader, Surrogate, and Counselor

Virginia Henderson

Known as "The First Lady of Nursing” and “The Nightingale of Nursing”
Her work was influenced by Edward L. Thorndike, her experiences with the Henry House Visiting Nurse Agency, rehabilitation nursing, and Orlando's concept of deliberate nursing action

Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations

The four components are:
- Person: a developing organism that strives to reduce anxiety caused by needs
- Environment: consists of external forces outside of the person and influenced by culture
- Health: implies forward movement of personality
- Nursing: a significant therapeutic interpersonal process that functions cooperatively with another human process that makes health possible for individuals in communities
Assumptions about the theory:
- Nurse and patient can interact
- Both the patient and nurse mature as a result of their therapeutic interaction
- Communication and interviewing skills are fundamental nursing tools
- Nurses must understand themselves to promote their clients' growth and avoid limiting their choices
Influenced by Freud, Maslow, Sullivan, and the contemporaneous psychoanalytical model
