Identification of Lydia E. Hall
• She spent her early years as a registered nurse working for Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company where the main focus was on preventive health.
• Worked for New York Heart Association as a staff nurse.
• Advocate of community involvement in public health issues.
• Professor at Teacher’s College at Columbia University.
• Research analyst in the field of cardiovascular disease (Alligood & Tomey
2010).
Interest & Research Focus
• Explains the role of nurses and focused on performing that noble task of the nurturing
patients.
• Component of this model is the “motherly care” provided by the nurses (George, J.B 2000).
• Which may include:
• Comfort measures
• Patient instructions
• Helping patients meet their needs where help is needed.
Major purpose of care is to achieve an interpersonal relationship with the individual that will facilitate the
development of the core ( Texas Woman’s University).
The Core Circle
• Individuals must pass an acute stage of illness for you to successfully apply
her theory.
• Therefor theory relates to only those who are ill.
• No nursing contact with healthy individuals, families or communities and it
negates the concept of health maintenance and prevention (Gonzalo 2011).
• Lacks application to pediatric care.
Conclusion
• Hall believed patients should only receive care from professional nurses.
• Hall defined her philosophy on the basis of the patient.
• Hall believed that patients come to the hospital in biological crisis (acute episode of
a disease) and that medicine does a great job at treating this crisis, but fails to treat
the chronic underlying disease. This is where she felt nursing could make a
significant difference.
• Hall felt that taking over this sub-acute phase was the way for nursing to legitimize
itself into a true profession.
