theory model? focused on promoting health.

Virginia Henderson- needs based theory model
35
Viewed the interpersonal relationship between a nurse and patient as the core of nursing.
A nurse was an investigator, prober, interpreter, and reporter, using the rich data she extracts from the patient concerning his life.
Hildegard Peplau-interactionist based theory model
36
viewed the client as including the individual and the individual's family and community.
The Nurse assists clients in preventing or coping with the experience of illness and suffering.
Attention is focused on the communication between nurses and their clients as a way to find meaning in illness.
Joyce Travelbee- interactionist based theory
37
considered the person a physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual being.
The role of the nurse is to focus on actual and potential stressors.
Neuman's model focused on prevention.
Betty Neuman-system based theory
38
A person is not a behavioural system but rather an adaptive one.
Four modes of adaptation: physiological needs, self-concept, role function, and interdependence.
The role of the nurse in managing the stimuli that influence the adaptation.
Sister Callista Roy-system based theory model
39
The individual is a behavioural system with seven subsystems, each of which has a goal, a set of behaviours, and a choice.
The meaning attributed to each goal and the set of behaviours for achieving goals is highly individual and unique to each patient.
Dorothy Johnson- system based theory model
40
Inspired by Johnson's model
The behavioural system is composed of nine basic human needs, shaped by the psychological and sociocultural environment within which it is expressed.
The nurse’s role was to foster, protect, sustain, and teach.
The University of British Columbia Model-system based model
41
The individual is an embodied spirit; a transpersonal transcendent evolving consciousness; unity of mind-body, spirit; person-nature-universe as oneness.
Nurses deal with more than physical illness: they must attend to their primary function, which is caring.
Caring infuses all aspects of a nurse's role/draws attention to nursing acts embodying an aesthetic that facilitates healing and growth.
jean watson-simultaneity base theory model
42
The individual is an indivisible, unpredictable, and ever-changing unitary being.
Nurses engage with people in their " becoming " process by applying three core processes referred to as explicating, dwelling with, and moving beyond.
Rosemarie Parse-simultaneity based theory model
43
The client is not just a person but an energy field in constant interaction with the environment, which itself was also an irreducible energy field, coextensive with the universe.
The objective of nursing practice; helping clients reach their maximum health potential in the context of constant change and to develop homeodynamic unity within diversity.
Martha Rogers-simulataneity based theory model
44
the nursing process is
systematic and organized approach to practice that uses critical thinking
45
Goals of theoretical knowledge
To stimulate thinking
To create a broad understanding of the
science and practice of the nursing
discipline
To provide a rationale for nursing actions
and decisions
To integrate Indigenous Ways of Knowing into our
practice models and education

exact desired patient behaviour or response.
2. Assess the patient's actual behaviour or
response.
3. Compare the established outcome criteria with
the actual behaviour or response.
4. Judge the degree of agreement between
outcome criteria and the actual behaviour or
response.
5. If the outcome criteria are not in agreement or
are in only partial agreement with the actual
behaviour or response, what are the barriers to
agreement? Why was agreement not
