Study Notes
History of Nursing Theory
- Theories are essential to healthcare practice, promotion, and research, and are at the heart of practice, planning, and research.
- Florence Nightingale laid the foundation for modern nursing practice, differentiating it from medicine.
- In the late 19th and 20th centuries, many contributors made significant contributions to the nursing profession, including Clara Weeks-Shaw, Isabel Hampton Robb, and Lavinia Dock.
Development of Nursing Theories
- In the early 20th century, nursing theorists such as Hildegard Peplau, Faye Abdellah, Bertha Harmer, and Virginia Henderson defined nursing through theories of interpersonal relationships.
- Ida Jean Orlando proposed that nurses use all senses in nursing, including philosophy, purpose, practice, and art.
- Myra Estrin Levine used a deductive approach to develop her theory, while Joyce Travelbee's was an interacting model.
- Theory development has transitioned to the theory utilization era, essential for the growth of the nursing profession.
Discipline vs. Profession
- Nursing was not initially recognized as an academic discipline or profession, but recent achievements have led to its recognition as both.
- A profession is a specialized field of practice founded on theoretical structure and practice abilities, while a discipline refers to a branch of education or a domain of knowledge.
Significance of Nursing Theory
- Nursing theory should provide principles that underpin practice and help generate further nursing knowledge.
- However, a lack of agreement in the professional literature on nursing theory has caused confusion and disregard for its relevance to practice.
