Metaparadigm: a set of theories or ideas that provide structure for how a
discipline should function. 4 sets of theories consist of 4 basic concepts that
address the patient as whole.
Nursing Metaparadigm
Identify and describe the 4 components (parts) of the Nursing Metaparadigm
using key words from readings.
1. Client and person:
- focuses on the receiver of the care
- Theorists understood a person as a system of interacting parts, a
system of competing human needs, and refers to individual’s as entities
with biological, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions
- Recipients of nursing actions may be well or ill and include individuals,
families, and communities
- Nurse needs to consider how the patient defines family when
planning care (can affect the type of support a client is receiving)
2. Environment:
- The person is part of and interacts with a complex environmental system
- Environment could involve the person’s family or social ties, the
community, the health care system, as well as geopolitical issues
that affect health
- Environment also includes societal beliefs, values, mores, customs, and
expectations
- The environment is an energy field in mutual process with the human
energy field and is conceptualized as the arena in which the nursing
client encounters aesthetic beauty, caring relationships, threats to
wellness and the lived experiences of health.
- Dimensions that may affect health include physical, psychosocial,
1
, cultural, historical and developmental processes, as well as the political
and economic aspects of the social world.
- Environment can also include internal, external, and social factors that
impact a patient’s health including genetics, immune function, culture,
mental state, education level, social status and etc.
3. Healthcare:
- Health is defined as an ideal state of optimal health or total well-beings
toward which all individuals could strive.
- Health, a dynamic process, is the mixture of wellness and illness and is
defined by the perception of the client across the life span.
- This view focuses on the entire nature of the client in physical, social,
aesthetic, and moral realms
- Health is contextual and relational
2
, - Includes the ability to access healthcare and resources to support health and
wellness
4. Nursing care:
- Nursing is an academic discipline and a practice profession
- It is the art and science of holistic health care guided by the values of
human freedom, choice, and responsibility
- Nursing science is a body of knowledge arrived at through theory
development, research, and logical analysis.
- The art of nursing practice, actualized through therapeutic nursing
interventions, is the creative use of this knowledge in human care.
- Nurses use critical thinking and clinical judgment to provide evidence-
based care to individuals, families, aggregates, and communities to
achieve an optimal level of client wellness in diverse nursing
settings/contexts
- Clinical judgment skills are therefore essential for professional nursing
practice.
- Human caring as the moral ideal of nursing is the central focus of
professional practice.
- It involves concern and empathy, and a commitment to the client’s lived
experience of human health and the relationships among wellness,
illness, and disease.
- The nurse, as a person, is engaged as an active partner in the human
care transactions with clients across the life span.
- Nurses function autonomously and use power to shape the profession
and empower clients through caring partnerships and other
transactions.
- Within this framework, power is defined as the capacity to participate
knowingly in the nature of change and is characterized by awareness,
advocacy, choice, freedom to act intentionally, healing and involvement
in creating changes.
What is the definition of Health according to the World Health Organization (WHO)?
a) Explain in your own words what it means that “health is a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being” (WHO,
1948).
