Maslow's hierarchy of needs

1. Hierarchy

2. is a psychological theory of motivation that consists
of a five-tier model of human needs that is frequently
represented as levels within a pyramid.
Higher demands can't be satisfied until lower-level
necessities like food, water, and safety are taken
care of.
Some individuals can self-actualize despite poverty,
while others prioritize esteem. Decisions are
influenced by various factors, including nursing,
education, counseling, and workplace motivation.

Hierarchy?

3. Maslow's hierarchy of human needs posits
physiological survival needs at the base, followed by
imaginative and cerebral self-actualization needs.
Meeting higher needs, which are increasingly
psychological and long-term, is challenging due to
environmental and interpersonal obstacles.

5. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory has evolved over time, with a
more flexible structure. When there is enough bread, new higher
needs emerge, dominating the organism. When these are satisfied,
new higher needs emerge. This hierarchy of relative prepotency
organizes basic human needs into a hierarchy of relative importance.
Maslow noted that the order of needs can be flexible based on
external circumstances or individual differences.
History

7. The premise of Maslow's work is based on the idea
that human needs drive our behavior. Furthermore,
we might not be able to advance and take care of our
other wants if some of our most pressing demands
remain unfulfilled. This may help to clarify why we
could have feelings of being "stuck" or lacking
motivation
These needs can create internal pressures that can
influence a person's behavior.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is important for nursing
care because it serves as a reminder to nurses that
meeting a person's basic needs comes before
attempting to meet any higher-level requirements.
Why it is important?

8. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
These are biological requirements for Human
survival, e.g. air, food, drink, shelter, clothing,
warmth, sex, sleep.
Physiological survival is our most fundamental need,
driving our actions and ensuring the human body
operates at its best. Maslow ranked physiological
requirements as the most essential, as satisfying
these needs takes precedence over other needs. An
individual's security and safety demand becomes
apparent once these needs are met.
Protection from elements, security, order,
law, stability, freedom from fear.
Safety requirements in family, society, and
institutions like police, schools, businesses,
and medical care include social stability, law
and order, emotional security, financial
security, freedom from fear, property, health,
and wellbeing. A sense of belonging follows
after safety and physiology requirements are
met.
Physiological Needs Safety Needs

9. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
After physiological and safety needs have been
fulfilled, the third level of human needs is social and
involves feelings of belongingness
Needs for a sense of belonging can include things
like companionship, closeness, trust, acceptance,
affection, both giving and receiving, and love. As
evidenced by the cases of children who cling to
violent parents, this urge is particularly strong in
childhood and can take precedence over the need for
protection
Maslow divided self-esteem into two
categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity,
achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii)
esteem for others (e.g., position, prestige).
Self-esteem is the human desire for respect
and acceptance, often cultivated through
career or hobby choices. Low self-esteem can
result from irregularities, and Maslow's theory
suggests genuine self-esteem is subordinated
to children's desire for recognition.

Belongingness Needs Esteem Needs

10. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Realizing personal potential, self fulfillment,
seeking personal growth and peak experiences. A
desire “to become everything one is capable of
becoming”.
Maslow believed that everyone experiences
fleeting periods of self-actualization, or "peak
experiences," connected to personal meaningful
events like childbirth, athletic success, and exam
success. These moments, which are challenging to
attain and sustain regularly, can manifest in various
ways.
Physiological Needs

11. Hierarchy of Needs in
Nursing

12. As opposed to merely medical, holistic patient
care is best. Physical, mental, emotional, and
social needs of patients must all be evaluated and
met by nurses. This encourages improved results,
quicker recovery, and increased involvement in
care.
History in Nursing

13. Physiological Needs
Assure patients receive enough food,
fluids, pain relief, rest, and physical
comfort. Treat pain that interferes with
rest and sleep.

14. Safety Needs
Keep everything tidy and peaceful, and
call bells for help. Use fall protection,
blood clot prevention, and pressure ulcer
avoidance techniques to prevent
injuries.To help patients feel less anxious,
explain tests, treatments, and drugs.
Maintain patient privacy. Encourage a
culture of trust by paying attentive
attention. Avoid prescription mistakes.

15. Love and Belongingness
Loneliness impedes healing. Give patients
a sense of inclusion and welcome. Present
them to other patients. Permit spiritual
activities and family visits.

16. Esteem
Respect one another by being polite and
sensitive to cultural differences. Preserve
your privacy and dignity. Give patients a say
in how they are treated. Describe care in a
straightforward manner. Pay close attention
to the issues they raise. Give them a sense
of worth.

17. Self-actualization
Care should reflect the goals and values of
the patient. Maybe share encouraging
stories of people who stayed active despite
having comparable diagnoses or offer
sources for managing bereavement over
health adjustments.
