    Study Notes

    Dorothy Johnson's Nursing Theory

    • Focuses on the individual as a behavioral system, with an emphasis on maintaining balance and effective functioning.
    • Views nursing as a means to promote health and ensure the welfare of individuals.

    Influences on Johnson's Model

    • Influenced by the work of the behavioral psychology theorists, particularly the contributions of Kurt Lewin.
    • The identification and content of the seven subsystems were influenced by Johnson's observations of behavior in both health and illness.

    Contributions of Nursing to Welfare

    • Johnson considered nursing's specific contribution to welfare as the assistance in maintaining optimal function of the behavioral system.
    • Emphasized that nursing’s primary concern is the patient’s wellbeing and health maintenance.

    First Concern of Nursing

    • The initial focus of nursing, according to Johnson, is the individual’s health needs and functioning.

    Behavioral System Theory Assumptions

    • Basic assumption of system theory is that the person is viewed as a whole system comprised of interrelated subsystems that influence each other.

    Subsystems in the Behavioral System Model

    • The Dependency Subsystem aims for survival and security, foundational for all social organizations.
    • Ingestive Subsystem focuses on nutrition and consuming food for nourishment and health.
    • Attachment-Affiliative Subsystem fosters social connections and emotional ties, impacting overall wellbeing.

    Relation Between Subsystems

    • The subsystems are interconnected; disruption in one can lead to disturbances in others.
    • Each subsystem is tasked with specialized functions to maintain the overall behavioral system's health.

    Consequences of Disturbance

    • Disturbances in subsystems can lead to a breakdown in the overall functioning of the behavioral system, affecting health and welfare.
    • The Dependency Subsystem can evolve from a state of almost total dependence on others to increased independence and self-sufficiency.

    Functions of Specific Subsystems

    • Ingestive Subsystem: Primarily responsible for dietary intake and nutrition, essential for sustaining life.
    • Attachment-Affiliative Subsystem: Primary function relates to forming and maintaining social bonds, crucial for emotional support.

    Overall System Theory Insights

    • Johnson's system theory views individuals holistically, advocating that nursing actively supports the functioning of the entire behavioral system.
    • The careful balance and interaction of the subsystems are essential for the overall health and development of the individual.
