Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that as the demands on nurses and the nursing profession have increased over the last several decades, it became evident to many nursing professionals that the ideology related to nursing practice had to be changed. The writer notes that cultural, environmental and mind-body considerations were significantly important because these factors were known to impact patients and their health. However, the writer points out that as more information became available through practice, it was also apparent that each person had to be evaluated independently in order for health care professionals to have a clear idea of all issues that affected the patient's well being. The writer then discusses that Roy, Neuman and Leininger each developed approaches to nursing practice that were intended to provide a well established vision of the person, which could be used in preventative medicine, as well as in the event of illness. These theories lead nurses to be capable of treating the whole individual, while providing the quality care that nursing is intended to ensure.

From the Paper
"The transcultural model, therefore, is comprised of numerous factors that must be taken into consideration if the proper care is to be presented for each individual patient. The most significant of these factors is culture. According to Leininger, the culture that an individual belongs to affects every aspect of that individual's existence. The elements associated with a culture are taught to the person from the time of birth and consistently impact thought, religious beliefs, behaviors and how the person relates to the health care environment."

Abstract
This paper explains the use of three nursing models, developed specifically by Dorothy Johnson, Imogene King, and Betty Neuman, to address the client?s need to learn how to cope effectively with stress. The author examines the nursing plans that would develop from each of these models. The paper concludes that nurses seem to think with more awareness and to function on a more professional level when their actions are based on theoretical models.
From the Paper
"Betty Neuman (1996) assumes that clients are dynamic and in constant energy exchange with environments. Following are the other basic assumptions that define, describe and comprise the concepts of the Neuman Systems Model. Neuman believes that interrelationships of variables, that is, physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental and spiritual variables of the person, affect the degree the person is protected by the flexible line of defense against reaction to single or multiple stressors; in fact, the stressor(s) break through the normal line of defense when the flexible line of defense does not protect the person. In turn, Neuman sees the person as a dynamic composite of interrelationship of variables, and wellness is on a continuum of available energy to support the system in optimal state of system stability. Furthermore, Neuman assumes that the lines of resistance are the person?s internal resistance factors, which are to stabilize and return the person to usual wellness state or to higher level of stability after a reaction to an environmental stressor."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Dorothea Orem's method of nursing. She introduced the concept that nurses, as human beings, need to be allowed to treat patients according to their individual needs. The author examines this theory, and presents several examples where it has been applied successfully.
From the Paper
"Nursing isn?t only about ?doing for the patient,? but about assisting them and directing them to carry out their own self-care and self-directed life. ?A patient competent to live in the real world is competent not only to obtain and participate health care, but to do as much of it as would be done outside the institutional setting normally.? (Coleman, pp. 325-344, 1980) Self-care then, is especially important in any field of nursing because health care is more about taking care of the body outside of the institution rather than in it."

Abstract
This paper discusses Florence Nightingale's contribution to nursing field. Nightingale developed a new modern nursing model that emphasized on improving sanitation and hospital conditions as well as developing research on certain diseases. Nonetheless, this nursing model focused on the patient's needs.
From the Paper
"It was Florence Nightingale who established professional nurses' training and who stands out as the founder of the modern profession. She was also adept politically and could mobilize public opinion - she was possibly the first spin-nurse. Florence Nightingale has for years been recognized as the founder of modern nursing. The strength of Nightingales model is that it focuses on the patient. The quality of care such focus can bring only serves to improve the quality of the patient ?s life and does not allow for the nurse to be lost in the management and politics that are found in hospitals today. It allows the nurse to understand where his or her first duty lies and thus makes health care more compassionate."

Abstract
This paper discusses how pain is a global problem that affects all people during their life and how poorly treated pain is a major concern for the millions of Americans currently suffering with pain. It looks at how heath care strives to deliver optimal care and treat patients effectively and how the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has developed pain management quality standards that must be implemented by all health care organizations to be accredited. It shows how providers need help to integrate these standards for optimal pain management and how conceptual models developed by nursing theorists can be useful tools to guide clinical practice. In particular, it explores Orem?s Self-Care Framework, Neuman?s System Model, and Roy?s Adaptation Model as examples of conceptual models that can be used to analyze possible approaches to solving health care problems and clinical concerns.
From the Paper
"Roy?s Model guides pain management with a nursing process, which includes a behavioral assessment, a stimuli assessment, nursing diagnosis, goal setting, plans for implementation, and evaluation. Each step takes into consideration the patient?s perceptions and desires into account. Behavioral assessment is completed keeping in mind the four modes of adaptation. The four modes of adaptation are physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. This allows for a systematic and holistic approach in recognizing the patients? right to proper pain assessment. In the physiological mode, a thorough assessment investigates the underlying disease process of the pain. Once treatment is implemented for the illness or injury causing pain, the focus moves into the actual elimination of pain."

From the Paper
"Her Adaptation Model had spread far and wide by 1981 and she and her colleagues started giving consultations to other schools on it. Many schools adapted it and soon she was a speaker through the Continent and in other countries. Her other ensuing engagements include a two-year postdoctoral program in Neuroscience Nursing at the University of California at San Francisco where she developed the concept of a holistic person. (Office of the Nurse Theorist); teaching at the graduate level at the same University and at Boston College.; co-chairing Knowledge Conferences hosted by the Boston College School of Nursing from 1996 to 1998 and from 2000 to 2001; and progressively expanding and upgrading her Model.

Abstract
This paper examines Orem's self-care model, a professional nursing practice model. The paper explains that, according to this model, the patient's self-care deficits are the result of environmental situations. The paper evaluates the three systems that exist within this professional nursing practice model: the compensatory system, in which the nurse provides total care; the partially compensatory system, in which the nurse and patient share responsibility for care; and the educative-development system, in which the client has primary responsibility for personal health, with nurse acting as a consultant.
From the Paper
"Orem's self-care model of modern nursing was first developed to address the basic care needs of individuals who were unable to perform the basic functions of self care as they were accustomed to, such as soldiers returning from wartime. However, this nursing model continues to be highly useful to nursing practitioners today. This is especially true given the increasing dependence of elderly patients upon family support systems for basic care, as well as the need for families to deal with individuals in a state of crisis within the family structure. The essential features of the model are addressing the self-care needs of the patient by the nurse through assessment and facilitation. The model deals with the responsibilities of the nurse practitioner to the patient in assessing the patient's ability to care for him or herself on a daily basis, how this care can be improved, and providing essential aid to individuals who cannot perform basic functions of self-care."

A Shared Nursing Leadership Model, 2002.
This paper presents the shared leadership model as a method for reducing stress caused by the nursing shortage.
1,435 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 10 sources, AU$ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the problems created by the shortage of qualified nurses that is requiring unit managers to contribute additional effort to fulfill all of the required responsibilities of the nursing unit. The paper presents a shared leadership model in which the stress of the nurse's job is balanced as various nursing and administrative tasks are shared among several nurses. The author admits that the skills needed to develop this model are extensive and require training, but the development of this new organizational structure is likely to result in significant reductions in employee stress.
From the Paper
"The hospital unit must become a catalyst for cultural and organizational change in order for a shared leadership initiative to result in success. Although this task may be difficult, it is essential to provide nurses with the feeling that they are not taken advantage of in the workplace. If nurses are provided with new responsibilities, they are likely to exhibit gratification and a sense of exhilaration in their careers. Nurse Managers, who are often times overwhelmed themselves with endless responsibility, are likely to welcome the changes that would be demonstrated through a shared leadership structure."

Models of Nursing, 2008.
This paper discusses two models of nursing: the Neuman Systems Model and Dorothy Johnson's theory.

Abstract
The paper explains the Neuman Systems Model and Johnson's theory, which rely on the identification of past, present and future stressors and behaviors. The paper points out that both theorists look at the whole person and only differ as to how the environment influences a person. The paper also relates that by Neuman and Johnson introducing behavioral and environmental stressors and patterns into the medical profession through the role of nurses, the quality of medical treatment has improved dramatically.
From the Paper
"The Neuman Systems Model was created in 1970 at the University of California by Betty Neuman as a way of teaching Introductory Nursing to freshman nursing students. The model encompassed a unique approach in teaching physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, and developmental aspects of the human condition. The basic concept of the Neuman Systems Model is to study the hair color, body temperature, body system functions, cognitive ability, physical strength and values of a person. These elements of humanity are always evolving and changing in a normal life cycle. Normalcy ends when the elements become static--the energy exhumed is greater than that used by the person. The human process is a series of inputs, outputs, feedbacks and compensations that create balance in a person's nature (Heyman & Wolfe, 2000)."

"The more of John Dewey's writings that she ingested the more clearly she envisioned the methodology proposed by John Dewey. Excitedly Ms. Thompson put away all of her planned lessons and got ready to 'wing-it' because she knew nothing of the cultural and regional factors affecting her teaching practice and in order to implement 'inquiry based learning' in her classroom she was first going to have to DO some inquiry based learning on her own."

Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"The model of caring in nursing model as proposed by Dr. Jean Watson is one that is fairly simplistic in nature that has as its key concepts the factors of love, kindness and empathy. In making an identification of the applications of Dr. Watson's model the work of Chantal (nd) is reviewed in which Chantel relates that the application of Watson's Caring in Nursing Model may be through interaction with the patient by asking pertinent questions that will engage the patient while at the same time convey to them that the nurse genuinely cares about them as a 'whole' person."

The Conceptual Model of Nursing, 2002.
Presents an analysis of Sister Calista Roy's conceptual model for nursing, usually referred to as the adaptation model.
2,305 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 15 sources, APA, AU$ 114.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The nursing philosophy or model of Sister Calista Roy focuses on the individual (person) as a biopsychosocial adaptive system. According to Roy, nursing is a discipline that emphasizes strengthening, expanding and improving upon the person's coping abilities for the purpose of enhancing the patient's wellness or health. This paper describes the theory and provides reasons for why it was chosen for review and analysis. The paper then goes on to discuss the development, meaning, logical adequacy, usefulness, completeness and testability of the adaptation model.
From the Paper
"It should be understood that the Roy Adaptation Model attempts nothing less than that of providing a theoretical framework for use by educators, researchers, and practitioners, for the purpose of validating a scientific foundation for nursing as a profession. This is, at best, an extremely challenging task and, as might be expected, the model has not only been refined and expanded upon many times, further expansion and refinement is expected in the future (Roy, 1997). In general, it must be noted that there is a need for intense study of the language and ideas behind Roy's Adaptation Model to fully understand it."
