Rogers.Orem.King

Are fundamental units of both living and non- living things.
➢They are unique, dynamic, open and infinite.
▪ 2 types: 1. Human field (unitary man) 2. Environmental field

energy field

Refers to idea that energy fields are open, infinite and interactive

universe of open system

It is the characteristic of an energy field and is perceived as a wave that changes continuously

pattern

❑It refers to non- linear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.
❑Human being are pan dimensional being and have more than three dimension.

pandimensionality

Refers to continuous and mutual interaction between human and environmental fields

integrality

Refers to continuous change from lower frequency to higher frequency wave patterns in human and environmental fields.

resonancy

Refers to continuous, probabilistic, increasing diversity of the human and environmental fields.

helicy

is also viewed as unified whole (unitary man) possessing integrity and manifesting characteristics more than the sum of parts.

person

-defined health as an expression of the life process.

health

is an art and science that is humanistic and humanitarian.

nursing

is an irreducible, indivisible, pan dimensional energy field

environment

An individual or group of individuals who have the ability to acquire the knowledge necessary to perform tasks of self-care.
• Intellectual ability to cognitively perform, delegate and evaluate tasks performed.

person

4 realms of state are encompassed in Environment:

Biological
Chemical
Physical
Socioeconomical

“Promotes function and development within social groups in accordance with human potential, known human limitation, and the human desire to return to normal” (Tomey & Alligood, 2006 p. 279)

health

▪ The skilled professional who evaluates and acknowledges a patient’s health deficit.
▪ Nursing plans and implements care based on the actual and potential self-care deficits

nursing

is the performance or practice of activities that individuals initiate and perform on their own behalf to maintain life, health and well-being.

self care

is the human’s ability or power to engage in self-care and is affected by basic conditioning factors

self care agency

are age, gender, developmental state, health state, sociocultural orientation, health care system factors, family system factors, patterns of living, environmental factors, and resource adequacy and availability.

basic conditioning factors

is the totality of “self-care actions to be performed for some duration in order to meet known self-care requisites by using valid methods and related sets of actions and operations.”

therapeutic self-care demand

delineates when nursing is needed. Nursing is required when an adult (or in the case of a dependent, the parent or guardian) is incapable of or limited in the provision of continuous effective self-care

self care deficit

is a complex property or attribute of people educated and trained as nurses that enables them to act, to know, and to help others meet their therapeutic self-care demands by exercising or developing their own self-care agency.

nursing agency

is the product of a series of relations between the persons: legitimate nurse and legitimate client.
➢ considered to be the unifying theory that includes all of the essential elements of self-care deficit nursing theory.

nursing system

“Self –care comprises the practice of activities that maturing and mature persons initiate and perform, within time frames, on their own behalf in the interest of maintaining life, healthful functioning, continuing personal development and well-being through meeting known requisites for functional and developmental regulations”

theory of self care

A self-care deficit occurs when an individual cannot carry out self care requisites.

theory of self care deficit

patient is unable to complete any self-care independently; nursing compensates for patient’s inability to perform self care.

wholly compensatory system

patient is able to perform self-care tasks with partial or no assistance from nursing

partly compensatory system

patient able to perform tasks independently. Nursing provides ongoing education and support.

supportive educative system

was about patients and nurses working together to mutually set goals that were achievable by the patient to help them attain and maintain health.

Imogen King’s theory

is when the nurse focuses on what are the patient’s perceptions

personal system

is discovering the patient’s role and possible stressors

interpersonal system

is used to help determine what influences the patient to make decisions

social system

The concepts that provide foundational knowledge that contributes to understanding individuals as personal systems:

Perception
Self
Growth & development
Body image
Space
Time

Concepts critical to understand interactions between individuals as interpersonal systems:

Communication
Interaction
Role
Stress
Stressors
Transaction

Concepts that are useful to understand interactions within social system & between social & personal system are:

Organization
Authority
Power
Status
Decision making

refers to social being who are rational and sentient.

human being/person

is the background for human interactions.

environment

transforms energy to enable person to adjust to continuous external environmental changes.

internal environment

involves formal & informal organizations. Nurse is a part of the patient’s environment.

external environment

involves dynamic life experiences of a human being, which implies continuous adjustment to stressors in the internal & external environment through optimum use of one’s resources to achieve maximum potential for daily living.

health

a process of action, reaction & interaction by which nurse & client share information about their perceptions in nursing situation
