    Study Notes

    Theoretical Foundations in Nursing

    • Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory

      • Maslow, an American psychologist, proposed a hierarchy of needs, starting with basic physiological needs (food, water, etc.) and progressing to higher-level needs like self-actualization.
      • As each need is met, the next higher level becomes the dominant motivator.
      • Self-actualization represents the highest level in the hierarchy, the fulfillment of one's full potential.
    • Humanistic Psychology

      • Maslow believed psychoanalysis focused too narrowly on the "sick" half of psychology, while behaviorism didn't adequately address human differences from animals.
      • Humanistic psychology, a response to these criticisms, centers on the "fundamental inviolability of the human experience."
    • Transactional Analysis (TA) by Eric Berne

      • TA is a form of modern psychology developed by Eric Berne, emphasizing social transactions.
      • Analysis of communication patterns helps understand behavior through ego states (Parent, Adult, Child).
      • Ego states provide different ways of experiencing the world, affecting communication dynamically.
      • "Transactions" are the basic units of analysis in TA, analyzing interaction between individuals' ego states.
        • Complementary transactions are symmetrical, reinforcing the prevailing interaction,
        • Crossed transactions are asymmetrical, leading to disharmony.
    • General Systems Theory (GST) by Karl Ludwig von Bertalanffy

      • GST is a general science of wholeness applying to many fields.
      • It emphasizes interconnectedness and interaction between components within a system.
      • Bertalanffy's approach is useful in understanding the complexity and interdependence of factors influencing human behavior (including patients experiencing health issues).
      • Systems have boundaries, maintain homeostasis through feedback loops, interact reciprocally via transactions, and have an environment influencing their functioning.
    • Change Theory by Kurt Lewin

      • Lewin's three-stage model (unfreezing, change, refreezing) describes how to implement change effectively.
        • Unfreezing involves creating a motivation for change and reducing resistance to the proposed change.
        • Change involves implementing the actual change.
        • Refreezing involves incorporating the change into the system to stabilize the new status quo.
    • Psychosocial Theory by Erik Erikson

      • Erikson's model outlines eight stages of psychosocial development, each with a unique crisis, to be resolved for healthy development.
      • Each stage builds on the previous stages and involves developing a specific virtue based on healthy resolution of the conflict.
      • The resolution of each stage in this model either leads to mastery of the crisis or a less healthy personality.
    • Moral Development Theory by Lawrence Kohlberg

      • Kohlberg proposed a stage theory of moral development, outlining how individuals' moral reasoning progresses through different stages.
      • These stages are progressive, as they represent increasing levels of abstract thinking and complex thought processes, from self-interest to ethics.
      • Kohlberg identified six stages categorized into three levels (pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional) of moral development.
