Imogene King
General System Framework/
Goal Attainment Theory
▣ Imogene Martina King (January 30, 1923 –
December 24, 2007) was one of the
pioneers and most sought nursing
theorists for her Theory of Goal
Attainment, which she developed in
the early 1960s.
adjust to environment
stressors and to maintain client system
stability PREVENTIVE
INTERVENTIONS
Preventive interventions are
purposeful actions to help
client retain, attain or
maintain the stability of the
client system and carried out
when a stressor is either
suspected or identified.
PREVENTIVE INTERVENTIONS
1.Primary Prevention-
-is carried out when stressor is suspected or identified.
-The degree of risk is already known but the reaction of the client may not yet
be visible.
2. Secondary Prevention
-is carried out when symptoms from stress have already occurred that involves
interventions that “treat “the symptoms
3. Tertiary Prevention
-occurs after the active treatment.
- It readjusts the client system toward optimum levels of stability. The goal is to
strengthen resistance to stressors in order to prevent recurrence.
Adaptation Model
ROY’S MAJOR CONCEPTS:
1. PERSON
4. Nursing
-nurses are facilitators of adaptation,
They assess the patient’s behaviors for
adaptation, promote positive adaptation by
enhancing environment interactions and
helping patients react positively to stimuli
Adaptation
-is the “process and outcome whereby
thinking and feeling persons as
individuals or in groups use conscious
awareness and choice to create human
and environmental integration.”
Internal Processes
1. Regulator
The regulator subsystem is a person’s
physiological coping mechanism.
• The body attempts to adapt via regulation of our bodily processes,
including neurochemical and endocrine systems.
2. Cognator
The cognator subsystem is a person’s
mental coping mechanism.
• A person uses his brain to cope via self-concept,
interdependence, and role function adaptive modes.
Four Adaptive Modes
1. Physiological-Physical Mode
• Physical and chemical processes are
involved in the function and activities of
living organisms.
• mode’s basic need is composed of the
needs associated with oxygenation,
nutrition, elimination, activity and rest,
and protection.
2.Self-Concept Group Identity Mode
1. Integrated Process
Behavioral System
Theory
• Dorothy E. Johnson is well-known for her
“Behavioral System Model,” which was
first proposed in 1968.
• Her model was greatly influenced by
Florence Nightingale’s book, Notes on
Nursing.
• It advocates fostering efficient and
effective behavioral functioning in the
patient to prevent illness and stresses
the importance of research-based
knowledge about the effect of nursing
care on patients.
• The patient is identified as a behavioral
system composed of seven behavioral
subsystems:
1. affiliative An imbalance in any of
2. dependency the behavioral
subsystems results in
3. ingestive disequilibrium.
4. eliminative It is nursing’s role: to
5. sexual assist the client in
returning to a state of
6. aggressive equilibrium.
7. achievement.
• Dorothy Johnson’s theory defined
Nursing as :
System
• That which functions as a whole under organized
independent interaction of its parts.
Subsystem
• A mini system is maintained concerning the entire
system when it or the environment is not disturbed.
SEVEN
SUBSYSTEMS
1. Attachment or affiliative subsystem
is the “social inclusion intimacy and
the formation and attachment of a
strong social bond.”
