PNUR 104 Theory Week 2 - Day 1 Reading notes

Theory Week 2 - Day 1 Reading notes (Kozier pg 54, 212, 213)

Nursing metaparadigm and Theories

- Nursing theories address and specify relationships among four major
abstract concepts referred to as the metaparadigm of nursing—the most
global philosophical or conceptual framework of a profession.
- A theory is a supposition or system of ideas that is proposed to explain a
given phenomenon. For example, Newton proposed his theory of gravity to
explain why objects always fall to the ground.
- A conceptual framework is more abstract than a theory. As noted
earlier, a conceptual framework is a group of related concepts.
- A metaparadigm is a higher level of abstraction than a paradigm.
- It identifies the concepts central to the discipline without relating them to
the assumptions of a particular paradigm.
- The metaparadigm concepts as originally identified by Fawcett are as
follows:

1. Person or client: the recipient of nursing care (includes individuals, families,
groups, and communities)
2. Environment: the internal and external surroundings that affect the
client, which includes people in the physical environment, such as
families, friends, and significant others
3. Health: the degree of wellness or well-being that the client experiences
4. Nursing: the attributes, characteristics, and actions of the nurse providing
care on behalf of, or in conjunction with, the client

Concept of Holism

- Nurses are concerned with the individual as a whole, that is, with the
complete, or holistic, person, not as an assembly of parts and processes.
- The terms holistic and holism are derived from the Greek word meaning
“whole.”
- In holistic theory, a living organism is seen as an interacting, unified
whole that is more than the mere sum of its parts.

, - any disturbance in one part is a disturbance of the whole system or being
- The social determinants of health reinforce the concept of holism, and
demonstrate clearly how the health status of an individual is related to
many factors, most of which are social factors.
- When applied in nursing, the concept of holism emphasizes that nurses
must keep the whole person in mind and strive to understand how one
area of concern, relates to the whole person.
