This document provides an overview of the historical development of nursing theories from the 19th century to present day. It discusses Florence Nightingale's early contributions and identifies 5 stages in the evolution of nursing theory: 1) the silent knowledge stage from 1840-1950, 2) the received knowledge stage from 1950-1960, 3) the subjective knowledge stage from 1960-1970, 4) the procedural knowledge stage from 1970-1980, and 5) the constructed knowledge stage from 1990 onward. It also briefly outlines some of the major contributions of influential nursing theorists like Peplau, Henderson, Orlando, and Rogers.
gud evening guys
this is descrive you that this ppt is making very simple way and i hope this will help you to understand lightky about nursing theories

Definition of Theory
• Theory:
A creative and rigorous structuring of ideas that projects a tentative,
purposeful, and systematic view of phenomena.
• Purpose:
Theory is developed for a reason that can be identified and specifies
the context and situation in which the theory applies.
Why Nursing Theory?
• Nursing theory:
• Guides nursing education, research, and practice.
• Strengthens links between nurses in education, research, and practice.
• Contributes to a well-founded basis for practice.
• Helps nurses develop better understanding of factors affecting family
function.
• Directs nurses to more specific purposes than merely filling a gap.
• Considers significant factors that influence nursing , and, therefore, helps
nurses in nursing-specific situations.
Nursing Theorists
• Florence Nightingale:
Environment is the central concept.
• Viewed as all external conditions and influences affecting the life and development of an
organism (1860).
• Virginia Henderson:
Mind and body are inseparable
• No two individuals are alike; each is unique (1966).

• Person-environment are energy fields that evolve negentropically (1970).
• Family system approach.
• Callista Roy:
Adaptation/Independence model (1974).
• Dorothea Orem:
Self-care maintains wholeness (1971).
• Madeleine Leininger:
Caring is universal and varies transculturally (1978).
• Imogene King:
• General systems framework.
• Transactions within the dyad of nurse and client.
• Margaret Newman:
Total person approach to patient problems. Disease is a clue of preexisting life
patterns (1979).
Definition of Health, Health Pattern, & Health Promotion
• Health:
A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
• Health pattern:
A set of related traits, habits, or acts that affect a client's health.
• Health promotion:
Behavior motivated by the desire to increase well-being and actualize
human potential.
Health Assessment & The Nursing Process
• Health assessment is a systematic method of collecting data about a
client for the purposes of:
• Determining the client’s current and ongoing health status.
• Predicting risks to health.
• Identifying health promotion activities.
• The nursing process is a systematic, rational, dynamic, and cyclic
process used by the nurse to plan and provide care for the client.

Research ethics involves the application of fundamental ethical principles to research activities which include the design and implementation of research, respect towards society and others, the use of resources and research outputs, scientific misconduct and the regulation of research.
Cushing Disease: Cushing disease is a form of Cushing syndrome. Cushing disease occurs when a benign tumor in the pituitary gland causes the pituitary gland to produce too much ACTH, the hormone responsible for cortisol production. Too much ACTH in the body causes the adrenal glands to produce cortisol in high levels.
Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any vein that is close to the skin's surface (superficial) can become varicosed. Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. That's because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins of the lower body.
Paget's (PAJ-its) disease of bone interferes with your body's normal recycling process, in which new bone tissue gradually replaces old bone tissue. Over time, bones can become fragile and misshapen. The pelvis, skull, spine and legs are most commonly affected.
Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It's also the brain's main source of fuel. The main cause of diabetes varies by type.
Pituitary gland disorders include acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, diabetes insipidus, empty sella syndrome, hypopituitarism and pituitary tumors. Pituitary problems can be caused by pituitary tumors, most of which are benign.
Problems with the thyroid include a variety of disorders that can result in the gland producing too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) or too much (hyperthyroidism). Thyroid disorders can affect heart rate, mood, energy level, metabolism, bone health, pregnancy and many other functions.
The Roy Adaptation Model sees the person as a biopsychosocial being in continuous interaction with a changing environment. The environment includes focal, contextual and residual stimuli. A focal stimulus is the confrontation with one's internal and external environment.
A community needs assessment identifies the strengths and resources available in the community to meet the needs of children, youth, and families. The assessment focuses on the capabilities of the community, including its citizens, agencies, and organizations.
Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn't make enough thyroid hormone. This condition also is called underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages
Thyroid disease is a general term for a medical condition that keeps your thyroid from making the right amount of hormones. Your thyroid typically makes hormones that keep your body functioning normally.
Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It's also the brain's main source of fuel.
oft tissue injuries (STI) are when trauma or overuse occurs to muscles, tendons or ligaments. Most soft tissue injuries are the result of a sudden unexpected or uncontrolled movement like stepping awkwardly off a curb and rolling over your ankle.
Theory is defined as “a belief, policy, or procedure proposed or followed as the basis of action”. Nursing theory is “an organized framework of concepts and purposes designed to guide the practice of nursing”
Drug calculations require using conversion factors, for example, when converting from pounds to kilograms or liters to milliliters. Simplistic in design, this method allows clinicians to work with various units of measurement, converting factors to find the answer

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

2. Learning Objectives
1. Overview of previous learning
2. Discuss the historical perspectives of Nursing Theories
3. Discuss work of different nursing theorists
4. Historical perspective of nursing theories
Five stages in the development of nursing theory and philosophy:
1. Silent knowledge stage – till 1940
2. Received knowledge stage – till 1950s
3. Subjective knowledge stage – till 1960s
4. Procedural knowledge stage – 1970s and 1980s
5. Constructed knowledge stage – 1990s
6. The integrated knowledge stage – 21st century
5. Florence Nightingale
•“Notes on Nursing” published in 1859.
•In Nightingale view, nurses were to make observations of the sick
and their environment, record observations, and develop knowledge
about factors that promoted healing.
•Her framework for nursing emphasized the utility of empirical
knowledge, that knowledge developed and used by nurses should be
distinct from medical knowledge.
6. Silent knowledge stage
•Recognition of formal training of nurses
•The first training school opened in 1872 at New England Hospital in United
States.
•Most schools were under the control of hospitals.
•Managed by hospital administrators and physicians.
•Education and practice were based on apprenticeship form of education.
•Rapid growth in the number of hospital-based training programs for nurses.
•Focus was on acquisition of technical skills.
7. Cont…
•Theory was taught by physicians and practice was taught by experienced
nurses.
•Emphasis was on carrying out physicians’ orders.
•Nurses largely adhered to the medical model, which views body and mind
separately and focuses on cure and treatment of pathologic problems.
•Nurses were seen as inexpensive labor and were taught to be submissive
and obedient, and they learned to fulfill their responsibilities to physicians
without question.
•Yale University started the first autonomous school of nursing in 1924.
8. Received knowledge stage
•Serious nursing shortages the late 1940s and into the 1950s.
•Nursing education at universities was recommended as opposed to the hospital-
based training.
•Professional organizations for nurses were restructured and began to grow.
•The American Nurses Association (ANA) started programs for nursing education.
•State licensure testing for registration was started.
•Books on research methods and explicit theories of nursing began to appear.
9. Cont…
•The journal Nursing Research was first published in 1950
•In 1956, the Health Amendments Act authorized funds for financial aid to
promote graduate education for full-time study to prepare nurses for
administration, supervision, and teaching.
•Doctoral programs in nursing started originating.
•Slow but steady increase in graduate nursing education programs.
10. Subjective Knowledge Stage
•Until the 1950s, With the exceptions of Nightingale’s work nursing practice
principally derived from social, biologic, and medical theories.
•Hildegard Peplau’s book in 1952 on interpersonal process between the nurse and
the client.
•Number of nurse theorists emerged in late 1950s and 1960s
•Nurse role as leader emerged
•Provided independent conceptual framework for nursing education and practice
• Ernestine Weidenbach- Clinical Nursing: A Helping Art
• Ida Jean Orlando - Dynamic Nurse–Patient Relationship
11. Cont…
•Approaches to theory development were direct observations of practice, insights from
existing theories and other literature sources, and insights derived from explicit
philosophical perspectives about nursing and the nature of health and human experience.
•Early theories were characterized by a functional view of nursing and health. They
attempted to define what nursing is, describe the social purposes nursing serves, explain
how nurses function to realize these purposes, and identify parameters and variables that
influence illness and health.
•In the 1960s, a number of nurse leaders: Abdellah, Orlando, Widenbach, Hall, Henderson,
Levine, and Rogers developed and published their views of nursing.
•Their descriptions of nursing and nursing models evolved from their personal,
professional, and educational experiences, and reflected their perception of ideal nursing
practice.
12. Procedural Knowledge Stage
•Nursing profession was started to be viewed as a scientific discipline evolving towards a
theory based practice.
•Several nursing theory conferences were held.
•National League for Nursing implemented a requirement of conceptual frameworks for
nursing curricula led to publication of many nursing theorists beliefs and ideas about
nursing and some developed conceptual models.
•A consensus developed among nursing leaders regarding common elements of nursing:
◦ Nature of nursing (roles/actions/interventions)
◦ Individual recipient of care (client)
◦ Context of nurse–client interactions (environment)
◦ Health
13. Cont…
•Nurses debated whether there should be one conceptual model for nursing or several
models to describe the relationships among the nurse, client, environment, and
health.
•Books were written for nurses on how to critique, develop, and apply nursing theories.
•Graduate schools developed courses on analysis and application of theory, and
researchers identified nursing theories as conceptual frameworks for their studies.
•Through the late 1970s and early 1980s, theories moved to characterizing nursing’s
role from “what nurses do” to “what nursing is.” This changed nursing from a context-
dependent, reactive position to a context-independent, proactive arena
14. Constructed Knowledge Stage
•Scholars began to concentrate on theories that provide meaningful foundation
for nursing practice.
•There was a call to develop substance in theory and to focus on nursing
concepts grounded in practice and linked to research.
•The 1990s into the early 21st century saw an increasing emphasis on philosophy
and philosophy of science in nursing.
•Attention shifted from grand theories to middle range theories, as well as
application of theory in research and practice.
•The idea of evidence-based practice (EBP) was introduced to address the gap in
research and practice.
15. Cont…
Graduate education in nursing continued to grow and introduced programs of:
◦ Advanced practice nurses (APNs)
◦ Doctor of nursing practice (DNP)
The DNP was initially proposed by the American Association of Colleges of
Nursing (AACN) in 2004 to be the terminal degree for APNs.
DNP was based on recognition of the need for expanded competencies due to
the increasing complexity of clinical practice, enhanced knowledge to improve
nursing practice and outcomes, and promotion of leadership skills.
16. Integrated Knowledge Stage
•In the second decade of the 21st century, there has been significant attention to
the need to direct nursing knowledge development toward clinical relevance, to fill
“relevance gap.”
•It has been observed that, a significant portion of research supports practice
imperfectly, infrequently, and often insignificantly. The primary goal of nursing
research is to produce knowledge that supports practice.
•In the current stage of knowledge development, considerable focus is on EBP and
translational research
17. Translational research
•The idea of translational research is to close the gap between scientific
discovery and translation of research into practice; the intent is to validate
evidence in the practice setting.
•Designated a priority initiative by the National Institute of Health in 2005.
•Current stage of theory development in nursing, supports EBP and growth of
translational research.
•Development and application of middle range and practice theories will
continue to be stressed, with attention increasing on practical/clinical
application and relevance of both research and theory.
