 EXPLOSING NURSING THEORY

 Introduction
Nursing theories are organized bodies of knowledge to define what nursing is, what nurses
do, and why do they do it. Nursing theories provide a way to define nursing as a unique
discipline that is separate from other disciplines (e.g., medicine). It is a framework of
concepts and purposes intended to guide the practice of nursing at a more concrete and
specific level.

For a theory to be a theory it has to contain a set of concepts, definitions, relational

statements, and assumptions that explain a phenomenon. It should also explain how these
components relate to each other..

 Important of Nursing Theory

Nursing theories are the basis of nursing practice today. In many cases, nursing theory
guides knowledge development and directs education, research, and practice. Historically,
nursing was not recognized as an academic discipline or as a profession we view it today.
Before nursing theories were developed, nursing was considered to be a task-oriented
occupation. The training and function of nurses were under the direction and control of
the medical profession. Let’s take a look at the importance of nursing theory and its
significance to nursing practice:

 Nursing theories help recognize what should set the foundation of practice by
explicitly describing nursing.
 Nursing theory also helps nurses to understand their purpose and role in the
healthcare setting.
 Theories serve as a rationale or scientific reasons for nursing interventions and
give nurses the knowledge base necessary for acting and responding
appropriately in nursing care situations.
 Nursing theory can help patients, managers, and other healthcare professionals
to acknowledge and understand the unique contribution that nurses make to the
healthcare service
 In many cases, nursing theories guide knowledge development and directs
education, research, and practice although each influences the others.

 Type of Nursing Theory

 Erickson's Modeling and Role Modeling Theory

 King's Theory of Goal Attainment

 Neuman's Systems Model

 Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory

 Orlando's Nursing Process Discipline Theory

 Peplau's Theory of Interpersonal Relations

 Rogers' Theory of Unitary Human Beings

 Roy's Adaptation Model of Nursing

  Nightingale's Environment Theory

 Henderson's Nursing Need Theory

 Neuman's Systems Model

The Neuman systems model is a nursing theory based on the individual's relationship to
stress, the reaction to it, and reconstitution factors that are dynamic in nature. The theory
was developed by Betty Neuman, a community health nurse, professor and counselor.

The central core of the model consists of energy resources (normal temperature range,
genetic structure, response pattern, organ strength or weakness, ego structure, and
knowns or commonalities) that are surrounded by several lines of resistance, the normal
line of defense, and the flexible line of defense. The lines of resistance represent the
internal factors that help the patient defend against a stressor, the normal line of defense
represents the person's state of equilibrium, and the flexible line of defense depicts the
dynamic nature that can rapidly alter over a short period of time.

The purpose of the nurse is to retain this system's stability through the three levels
of prevention:

1. Primary prevention to protect the normal line and strengthen the flexible line of
defense.
2. Secondary prevention to strengthen internal lines of resistance, reducing the
reaction, and increasing resistance factors.
3. Tertiary prevention to readapt and stabilize and protect reconstitution or return to
wellness following treatment.
 Conclusion

Neuman systems model practitioners treat each client based on their individual
characteristics, unique circumstances and background. The methodology is hugely
successful, regularly revised and remains current to this day .
