grounding for nursing.
• Evidenced in her books, Nursing as Caring: A
Model for Transforming Practice (coauthored
with Schoenhofer; 1993, 2001a)
• The latter book illustrates how caring grounds
the development of a nursing program by
creating the environment for study through
evaluation.

9. Overview of Theory
Theory of Nursing as caring, a general theory,
framework, or disciplinary view of nursing
Provides perspective that enables a thorough ,
all-encompassing knowledge of any and all
nursing practice scenarios (Boykin and
Schoenfer, 1993).
Provides nursing scholars in the many
practitioner, researcher, administration ,
teacher, and developer professions with an
organized framework.
23 January 2023 9
10. Historical Perspective and Current
Development
• The Theory of Nursing as Caring sprang out of
curriculum development work done in the
College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic
University, where both authors were part of the
faculty team that revised the curriculum based on
caring.
• The point of departure was the recognition that
nursing serves to provide care, not just as a
means, but as its intended goal and primary focus.
23 January 2023 10
11. Historical Perspective and Current
Development…
The two main elements that bring the theory‟s
underlying assumptions to life and enable a
practical understanding of nursing as a
discipline and a profession are:
The emphasis that has been clarified and the
concept of the nursing scenario.
The existential phenomenological theory of
humanistic nursing developed by Paterson
and Zderad in 1988 is seen as the historical
forerunner of nursing as caring.
23 January 2023 11
12. Historical Perspective and Current
Development…
The first complete exposition of the Theory of
Nursing as Caring was presented at a
conference in 1992 ( Bokin and Schoenfer, 1990,
1991; Schoenfer and Boykin, 1993).
Nursing as Caring : A model for transforming
Practice was published in 1993 (Bokin and
Schoenfer, 1993).
Republished with an epilogue in 2001 (Bokin and
Schoenfer, 2001a).
23 January 2023 12
13. Major Assumptions
Boykin and Schoenhofer address six major
assumptions that reflect a set of values to understand
and explicate the meaning of nursing.
1. Persons are caring by virtue of their humanness
2. Persons are whole and complete in the moment
3. Persons live caring, moment to moment
4. Personhood is living life grounded in caring
5. Personhood is enhanced through participating in
nurturing relationships with caring others
6. Nursing is both a discipline and a profession
(practiced discipline)
23 January 2023 13
14. Major Assumptions…
Person: Persons are caring by virtue of their
humanness
The belief that persons are caring by virtue of
their humanness sets forth the ontological and
ethical bases on which the theory is grounded.
Being a person means living, through which
being and possibilities are known to the fullest.
Each person throughout his or her life grows in
the capacity to express caring.
23 January 2023 14
15. Major Assumptions…
The assumption that all persons are caring does not
require that each act of a person be caring, but it does
require the acceptance that “fundamentally, potentially,
and actually, each person is caring” (Boykin &
Schoenhofer).
Through entering, experiencing, and appreciating the life-
world of other, the nature of being human is more fully
understood.
From the perspective of Nursing as Caring, the
understanding of person as caring “centers on valuing
and celebrating human wholeness, the human person as
living and growing in caring, and active personal
engagement with others” (Boykin & Schoenhofer).
23 January 2023 15
16. Major Assumptions…
Persons Are Whole and Complete in the
Moment
Respect for the person is communicated by the
notion of a person as whole or complete in the
moment.
Being complete in the moment signifies that
there is no insufficiency, no brokenness, and no
absence of something.
Wholeness, or the fullness of being, is forever
present.
23 January 2023 16
17. Major Assumptions…
The view of the person as caring and complete is
intentional, offering a unifying lens for being present
with the other that prevents segmenting into parts such as
mind, body, and spirit.
Through this lens, the person is at all times whole, with
no insufficiency, brokenness, or absence of something.
The idea of wholeness does not preclude the idea of
complexity of being.
Instead, from the perspective of Nursing as Caring, to
encounter a person as less than whole fails to truly
encounter the person.
23 January 2023 17
18. Major Assumptions…
Persons Live Caring, Moment to Moment
Caring is a lifetime process that is lived moment
to moment and is constantly unfolding.
In the rhythm of life experiences, we continually
develop expressions of ourselves as caring
persons.
Actualization of the potential to express caring
varies in the moment.
23 January 2023 18
19. Major Assumptions…
As competency in caring is developed through life, we
come to understand what it means to be a caring person,
to live caring, and to nurture each other as caring.
This awareness of self as a caring person brings to
consciousness the valuing of caring and becomes the
moral imperative, directing the “oughts” of actions with
the persistent question, “How ought I act as caring
person?” (Boykin & Schoenhofer ).
23 January 2023 19
20. Major Assumptions…
Health: Personhood Is Living Life Grounded in
Caring
Personhood is a process of living caring and
growing in caring
It is being authentic, demonstrating congruence
between beliefs and behaviors, and living out the
meaning of one‟s life.
Personhood acknowledges the potential for
unfolding caring possibilities moment to moment.
23 January 2023 20
21. Major Assumptions…
From the perspective of nursing as caring,
personhood is the universal human call.
This implies that the fullness of being human
is expressed in living caring uniquely day to
day and is enhanced through participation in
caring relationships (Boykin & Schoenhofer).
23 January 2023 21
22. Major Assumptions…
Environment: Personhood is enhanced through
participating in nurturing relationships with caring
others
o As a process, personhood acknowledges the potential of
persons to live caring and is enhanced through
participation in nurturing relationships with caring
others.
o The nature of relationships is transformed through
caring.
o Caring is living in the context of relational
responsibilities and possibilities, and it acknowledges
the importance of knowing the person as person.
23 January 2023 22
23. Major Assumptions…
Nursing: Nursing is both a discipline and a profession
Nursing is an “exquisitely interwoven” ( Dr. Boykin &
Schoenfoer) unity of aspects of the discipline and
profession of nursing.
As a discipline, nursing is a way of knowing, being,
valuing, and living in the world and is envisaged as a
unity of knowledge within a larger unity.
The discipline of nursing attends to the discovery,
creation, development, and refinement of knowledge
needed for the practice of nursing.
The profession of nursing attends to the application of
that knowledge in response to human needs.
23 January 2023 23
24. Major Assumptions…
Nursing as caring focuses on the knowledge
needed for plenary understanding of what it
means to be human and the distinctive
methods needed to verify this knowledge.
As a human science, knowing nursing means
knowing in the realms of personal, empirical,
ethical, and aesthetic all at once
These patterns of knowing provide an
organizing framework for asking
epistemological questions of caring in nursing.
23 January 2023 24
25. Theoretical Assertions
As a general theory, Nursing as Caring is
appropriate for various nursing roles, such as
individual practice, group or institutional practice,
and a variety of practice venues such as acute
care, long-term care, nursing administration, and
nursing education.
The fundamental assumptions of Nursing as
Caring underpin the assertions and concepts of the
theory. They are (1) to be human is to be caring,
and (2) the purpose of the discipline and profession
is to come to know persons and nurture them as
persons living caring and growing in caring.
23 January 2023 25
26. Dance of Caring Persons
Is the image of dancer in a circle, moving freely as
individuals while engaging in a rhythm that connects
all.
Creating a culture where each person is respected,
valued, and celebrated shapes an environment that
can transform an organization.
The Dance of Caring Persons builds on the
assumptions of the theory of Nursing as Caring.
These assumptions offer a broad philosophical
framework that has implications for transforming not
only the nursing dimension of care, but also an entire
healthcare organization.
23 January 2023 26
27. Dance of Caring Persons…
A Person-Centered, Caring-Focused Relational Model
Acknowledgement that all persons have the capacity
to care by virtue of their humanness
Commitment to respect for person in all institutional
structures and processes
Recognition that each participant in the enterprise has
a unique valuable contribution to make to the whole and
is present in the whole
Appreciation for the dynamic though rhythmic nature
of the Dance of Caring Persons, enabling opportunities
for human creativity
23 January 2023 27
28. Dance of Caring Persons…
Figure 1.1 Boykin, A., & Schoenhofer, S. O. (2001). Nursing As Caring: A
Model for Transforming Practice, p. 37
23 January 2023 28
29. Development of Dance of Living
Caring
Advances in the literature and in healthcare
environments
Led to consideration of incorporation of healthcare
robots and even humanoid nurse robots into Boykin &
Schoenhofer‟s theory of Nursing as Caring
Dialogue at the 2018 Summer Academy of the Anne
Boykin Institute illuminated the value of van
Wynsberghe’s Caring-Centered Value-Sensitive
Design (CCVSD) approach to a consideration of robots
as “partners-in-caring” in the context of Nursing as
Caring (NAC)
23 January 2023 29
30. Development of Dance of Living
Caring…
Values of CCVSD and NAC were examined for
congruence, with dissonances addressed
Dance of Living Caring was conceptualized as an
antecedent to an innovative middle range theory of
robots as Nursing partners-in-caring in the context
of Nursing As Caring (NAC)
Dance of Living Caring is a modification of
Dance of Caring Persons to accommodate
healthcare robots and future Super AI technologies
in Nursing.
23 January 2023 30
31. Development of Dance of Living
Caring…
Medical robots assist surgeries, streamline
clinical workflow and enhanced patient care
and workplace safety.
A humanoid robot is a robot resembling the
human body in shape, the design may be for
functional purpose such as interacting with
human tools and environment for experimental
purpose such as the study of bipedal
locomotion or the purpose.
23 January 2023 31
32. Strengths & Limitations of the Theory
Strengths
As nurses we know there are various ways of
expressing caring.
The theory of Nursing as Caring had been tested
in various nursing practice settings and those
nursed had voice the „experience of being truly
cared for‟.
Patient and nurse satisfaction in those units had
reportedly increased, retention increased, and the
environment for care became grounded in the value
of respect for persons.
23 January 2023 32
33. Strengths & Limitations of the
Theory…
Limitations
As nurses we frequently find that we do not have
enough time to practice caring, given the
demands of our role.
The nursing environment, either in clinical
practice, administration, education and
research, has encountered challenges
23 January 2023 33
34. Strengths & Limitations of the
Theory…
These challenges depersonalizes and
routinizes the care we deliver for the clients
Like technological advances, demands for
immediate and measurable outcomes that
focus on simple and superficial quick care,
economic focus and profit motive (time is
money).
23 January 2023 34
35. Summary
The Theory of Nursing as Caring is a general or
grand nursing theory that offers a broad
philosophical framework with practical implications
for transforming practice (Boykin et al., 2003).
From the perspective of Nursing as Caring, the focus
and aim of nursing as a discipline of knowledge and a
professional service is “nurturing persons living
caring and growing in caring” (Boykin &
Schoenhofer, 2001a, p. 12).
23 January 2023 35
36. Summary
The theory is grounded in fundamental
assumptions (1)To be human is to be caring &
(2) The activities of the discipline and the
profession of nursing coalesce in coming to
know persons as caring and nurturing them as
persons living and growing in caring.
The understanding of nursing as a discipline
and as a profession uniquely focuses on caring
as its central value, its primary interest, and the
direct intention of its practice.
23 January 2023 36
37. Summary
• Nursing as Caring is being used as a conceptual
basis for developing middle range theories.
• From the perspective of Nursing as Caring, the
nursing situation is the unit of knowledge for study
for a focus on personhood as a process of living that
is grounded in caring (Boykin & Schoenhofer,
1991).
• The mutual relationship shared by the nurse and the
nursed is one of reciprocity and subjectivity.

44. Introduction
Theorists: Nancy Roper, Winifred W. Logan
and Alison J. Tierney
One of the widely used nursing model
Also referred as a Human Needs Model
A Model of nursing care based on activities
of daily living (ADLs).
The activities of Livings (ALs) are what
constitute “everyday living activities” (Roper,
Logan, & Tierney, 2000).
23 January 2023 44
45. Introduction…
Model of Nursing based on Activities of
Living “is an attempt to identify only the main
features of the nature of living taking into
account knowledge from the natural sciences,
the social sciences and the humanities” (Roper,
Logan, & Tierney, 2000).
Roper et al. (2000) indicated that the activities
of Livings (ALs) are more commonly referred to
as the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
They identified 12 activities of Livings (ALs).
23 January 2023 45
46. Introduction…
• The purpose of the Roper Logan & Tierney theory is as
an assessment used throughout the patient‟s care.
As a nurse you should use the model to assess the
patient‟s relative independence and potential for
independence in the activities of daily living.
The patient’s independence is looked at on a continuum
that ranges from complete dependence to complete
independence.
This helps to determine what interventions will lead to
increased independence as well as what ongoing support
is needed to offset any dependency that still exists.
23 January 2023 46
47. Major Concepts
1.Person /Patient
Is any individual who needing help to perform
activities of daily livings.
2. Health
Can only be defined in relation to the
individual and his expectations and in relation
to his optimal level of functioning in everyday
living.
23 January 2023 47
48. Major Concepts…
3. Environment
Houses, factories, and offices, sports grounds
and playgrounds.
There is also the broader view of environment
e.g. climate and geographical location
4. Nursing
Helping patient, solve, alleviate or cope with
problems (actual or potential) with activities
of daily livings and exists to meet the needs of
society.
23 January 2023 48
49. The 12 Activities of Daily Living
Roper states that the 12 activities of daily living
should be viewed “As a cognitive approach to the
assessment and care of the patient, not on paper as
a list of boxes
But in the nurse‟s approach to and organization of
her care,” and that nurses deepen their
understanding of the model and its application.
23 January 2023 49
50. The 12 Activities of Daily Living…
The patient should be assessed on admission,
and his or her dependence and independence
should be reviewed throughout the care plan
and evaluation.
By looking at changes in the dependence-
independence continuum, the nurse can see
whether the patient is improving or not, and
make changes to the care provided based on
the evidence presented.
23 January 2023 50
51. The 12 Activities of Daily Living…
The list also includes death and sexuality as
activities of daily living, but these are often
disregarded depending on the setting and
situation for the individual patient.

56. The Lifespan
Describes where a person is on a continuum from being
born to dying.
Living is concerned with the whole of a person‟s life . .
from birth to death” (Roper et al. 2000).
Roper et al (2006:55) identify five different stages
being “infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood,
senior citizenship.”
However each person‟s life span is of a different length
with not everyone reaching all five stages (Healy and
Timmons, 2003).
Depending where a person is on their lifespan will affect
each one of the twelve activities of living.
23 January 2023 56
58. Dependency/Independence
Continuum
This component of the model is closely related
to the lifespan and to the ALs.
It is included to acknowledge that there are
stages of the lifespan when a person cannot
yet (or for various reasons can no longer)
perform certain AL’S independently.
Each person could be said to have a
dependence/ independence continuum for
each AL’s.
23 January 2023 58
59. Dependence/independence
Continuum
o Dependence/independence continuum is closely linked
to both the lifespan and the activities of living.
o The continuum ranges from total dependence to total
independence, exists for each activity of living
throughout the lifespan &
o Changes as the person ages as well as if some event or
health condition or other circumstance requires a
temporary or permanent change.
o Each activity needs to be assessed for how dependent
or independent the person is in performing this activity.
23 January 2023 59
60. Dependence/independence
Continuum…
If these are mapped at the assessment stage of
the nursing process, they can be re-evaluated
to see if a patient is becoming more
independent in each activity or if they are
becoming more dependent as care is provided.
The activities of living are often linked to one
another and becoming independent in one may
mean the same for other activities too.
The same is true when a person becomes more
dependent.
23 January 2023 60
61. Influences of Activities of Living
According to the model, there are five factors
that influence the activities of living.
The incorporation of these factors into the
theory of nursing makes it a holistic model.
If they aren’t considered, the resulting
assessment is incomplete and flawed.
The factors are used to determine the
individual patient’s relative independence in
regards to the activities of daily living.
23 January 2023 61
62. Influences of Activities of Living…
These factors affect the performance of activities of
daily living (ALs ) at any time during the lifespan.
Each influences on one or more activities of daily
living (ALs ).
Can be a positive influence, which is a facilitator in
supporting and enhancing the daily living , AL(s).
Or can be a negative influence, which is a barrier
that may be a potential or actual health hazard.
Roper et al. (2000) identified five interrelated
influences on ALs.
23 January 2023 62
63. Influences of Activities of Living…
These factors include biological, psychological,
sociocultural, environmental, and politico-economic.
1. Biological
The biological factor addresses the impact of the overall
health, of current injury and illness, and the scope of the
patient‟s anatomy and physiology.
2. Psychological
The psychological factor addresses the impact of emotion,
cognition, spiritual beliefs, and the ability to understand.
According to Roper, this is about “knowing, thinking,
hoping, feeling and believing.”
23 January 2023 63
64. Influences of Activities of Living…
3. Sociocultural
Is the impact of society and culture as
experienced by the individual patient.
This includes expectations and values based on
class and status
And culture within the sociocultural factor relates
to the beliefs, expectations, and values held by
the individual patient for him or herself
As well as by others pertaining to independence
in and ability to carry out the ADL.
23 January 2023 64
65. Influences of Activities of Living…
4. Environmental
The environmental factor in Roper‟s theory of
nursing makes it a “green” model.
The theory takes into consideration the impact of
the environment on the activities of daily living,
But also examines the impact of the activities of
daily living on the environment.
23 January 2023 65
66. Influences of Activities of Living…
5. Politico-Economic Factor
Is the impact of the government, politics, and
economy on the activities of daily living.
Addresses issues such as funding, government
policies and programs, war or conflict,
availability to benefits, political reforms, interest
rates &
Availability of public and private funding, among
others.
23 January 2023 66
68. Individuality in Living
Manifested by the style in which individuals
attend to each of their activities of living
This is according to the achieved stage on the
lifespan and place on the dependence/
independence continuum,
Which have all been, and still are being,
influenced by the interacting five groups of
factors.
23 January 2023 68
70. Evaluation of the Theory
Adequacy
Cannot be applied to all populations.
Clarity
Is clearly presented in the literature and can be
easily read and understood by any reader.
Consistency
Has several key concepts that are defined
throughout the literature.
23 January 2023 70
71. Evaluation of the Theory…
Logical Development
Throughout the literature, the Model of Living
is clearly presented in a reasonable and valid
manner.
Level of Theory Development
Meets the description based on an interactive
process theory because it consists of several
well-defined concepts.
Complexity
The model is said to be self-explanatory or not
too complicated as compared to others.
