Negative Factors Relating to Nursing Practice
Personal Perspectives towards Orem's Model of Self-Care and Long-Term Nursing Care
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Orem's model of self-care promotes specific health goals that increase the autonomy and the self-care of the patient. Not all patients can benefit from all aspects of this model, but most patients are likely to achieve a greater degree of control over how and to what extent their health care needs are met. The model shows substantial positive outcomes as a component of health care, as it promotes improved diagnosis, improved communication between the health care provider and the patient, and reliance on others to supplement the patient's health care needs when specific outcomes cannot be met by the patient alone."

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
The paper examines the Orem model that is particularly used in rehabilitation and primary care settings where the patient is encouraged to be as independent as possible. The paper presents an example of the Orem Care Plan model using a fictional movie family from the show "The Other Sister." The writer explores the family and includes environmental and self-care directives for the family members. The paper emphasizes that the Orem model is a model that is founded in the belief that humans will self-direct care once they are given the tools to do so. This model is used to examine the phases and steps in the model and to demonstrate how a model of self-care can be designed and implemented to accommodate individual needs.

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."

Abstract
In this paper, the author discusses the purpose and rationale for using Dorothea Orem's self-care deficit theory of nursing (S-CDTN) in her women's health practice and the development of a plan to implement the self-care deficit theory in the author's workplace. The author also discusses possible barriers and challenges to implementation, presents evaluation criteria and critique of S-CDTN, and provides examples of S-CDTN relevant to the author's workplace.
Outline:
Theory Overview
Rational for Selecting Theory
Barriers and Challenges to Implementing Orem's Theory
Evaluation Criteria and Results
Theory Critique
From the Paper
"Dorothea Orem, first published in 1971, developed her nursing theory independent of the medical model focusing on the autonomy of nursing practice and provided a link of relevant nursing knowledge to the requisites of clients needing health-related care (Koenig Blais, Hayes, Kozier, & Erb, 2002, chap. 6). The self-care deficit theory "expresses and develops the reasons why persons require nursing care" (Dennis, 1997, p. 11). The core of this theory and the first of the three theory components is self-care/dependent care. Her self-care theory focused on the recipient of nursing care versus the nurse provider. Self-care encompasses learned activities natural to all adults as they respond to internal and external (environment) input. Dependent care is actions the individual performs on behalf of children or adults due to health deviations or developmental age (Dennis, 1997, chap. 2). "

Nursing in an Acute-Care Psych Ward, 2008.
This paper applies P.L. Chinn and M.K. Kramer's approach to nursing to an acute-care psych ward.

Abstract
The paper supports the modified philosophical approach to nursing championed by Chinn and Kramer and shows how their contribution to Dorothy Orem's theories improve the process of thought. The paper further shows how Chinn and Kramer codify, in a stepwise function, how to improve practice and apply conscious theory development to the profession. The paper discusses their "third-level" philosophical approach and relates that although this approach may seem distant to nurses involved in the day-to-day chaos of the acute care wards, they provide a useful conceptual framework for an improvement of the profession.

Implementation of Orem as Interpreted by Chinn and Kramer
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Nursing has progressed from a 'helping,' or 'mothering' profession in the mid-1900's to a profession which incorporates the same basic human emotions, but also combines with empirical evidence to help improve the patient's quality of life. Applying a concrete definition to the concept of nursing was a pioneering effort from Orem in the 1980's. Subsequent work by Fawcett, Chinn, Kramer and others in the 1990's added a more philosophical level to the practice of nursing."

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."

Florence Nightingale's Nursing Model, 2001.
A discussion on Florence Nightingale's nursing model and its positive influence on the nursing profession and hospitals.

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."

Barriers in the Application of Watson's Caring Theory
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."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Orem sees the person as a biopsychosocial being, capable of self-care. The paper explains how the theory allows for a means to approach every patient in every situation, especially a patient with limitations. The paper stresses how, because the focus is always on the patient, the patient becomes an active agent in her health and recovery.
Outline:
Experience
Reflection
Analysis
From the Paper
"Since I was curious as to whether nurses actually make use of nursing theorists, I asked one particular nurse whom I admired if she relied on a theorist. This nurse works on a head injury unit and all the patients respond warmly to her. Her response was that she uses Orem's self-care deficit theory because it provides a practical approach that can be used with every nursing situation. She explained that whenever you have a patient with limitations, then self-care theory is perfect. Orem's theory offers a rational basis for planning and implementing nursing care. From what she said, I decided to learn more."

Nursing Models and Patient Stress, 2004.
This paper discusses applying perspectives from nursing models to address the mental health client?s stress.
2,180 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 11 sources, APA, AU$ 98.95

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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$ 104.95
»
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."

"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.
