Betty Neuman (System Model in Nursing Practice)

Betty Neuman
System Model in Nursing Practice
(1924 - present)


“Health is a condition in which all parts and subparts
are in harmony with the whole of the client.”



Life Story

Betty Neuman was born in 1924 on a farm near Lowell, Ohio.

Her father was a farmer and her mother was a home maker. She grew up in the rural Ohio where she developed love for the land and her compassion for people in need.

1947, Neumans initial nursing education was completed with double honors at People's Hospital School of Nursing (now General Hospital) in Akron, Ohio.

She then moved to Los Angeles to live with relatives in California, she worked in variety of nursing roles that include hospital staff and head nurse, school nurse, and industrial nurse.

She was also involved in clinical teaching in University of Southern California Medical Center, Los Angeles in the areas of medical surgical, communicable disease and critical care.

She had always been interested in human behavior.

She attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) with a double major in Public Health and Psychology. She completed her Baccalaureate Degree with Honors in Nursing in 1957.

A very supportive and loving wife who helped established and managed her husband's medical practice.

1966, she received her Master's Degree in Mental Health, Public Health Consultation from UCLA.

1985, She- received a Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology from Pacific Western University in 1985.

Neuman and Donna Aquilina were the first two nurses to develop the nurse counselor role within Los Angeles based community crisis centers.

She developed her first explicit teaching and practice model for mental health consultation m the late 1960s before the creation of her systems model. Neuman was a pioneer of nursing involvement in mental health. She developed taught, and refined a community mental health program for postmasters level nurses at UCLA.


Books and Publications
Neuman designed a conceptual model for nursing in 1970 in response to request from UCLA graduate students who wanted a course emphasizing breadth rather than depth in understanding the variables in nursing. Initially, the model was developed to integrate students' understanding of client variables that extend nursing beyond the medical model. The Neuman model included such behavioral science concepts as problem identification and prevention. Neuman first published her model in 1972.
She spent the following decade further defining and refining various aspects of the model in preparation for her book, the Neuman System Model: Application to Nursing Education and Practice. Further development and revisions of the model are illustrated in the second (1989) and third (1995) editions. Neuman stated that the fourth edition will offer an integrative review of use of the model with guidelines for application of the model in practice, research, education and administration.

She is a Fellow of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.
She contuse in active, private practice as a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist, with an emphasis on Christian Counseling. Neuman lives in Ohio and maintains a leadership role as Director of Neuman Systems Model Trustees Group, Inc. until 2009.
She serves as a consultant internationally for nursing schools theory-based practice.


Theoretical Sources
1. Gestalt theory - homeostasis process.
2. Marx - properties of parts are determined partly by the larger wholes.
3. de Chardin - philosophy of wholeness of life.
4. Han Selye - General Adaptation Syndrome and Stress Theory.
5. Caplan - prevention levels of nursing.
Metaparadigm in Nursing
- the concept of a whole person and an open system approach.

The concept is aimed towards the development of a person in a state of wellness having the capacity to function optimally by adaptation with environmental stimuli causing illnesses back to a state of wellness




Nursing
Neuman believes that nursing requires a holistic approach that considers all factors affecting a client's health—physical, physiological, psychological, mental, social, cultural, developmental and spiritual well-being.

Person
Neuman regarded the concept of a person as an individual family community or the society.
She sees a person as an open system that works together with other parts of its body as it interact with the environment.

Open system is characterized by the presence of an exchange of information and
reaction with other factors surrounding a person.

Health
Neuman considers health as dynamic in nature in which the person’s health is as the level of health continuum—wellness or illness.

Wellness exists when all the part or system of person works harmoniously.

Environment
The environment can be an internal and external.
Stressors are the forces created by the environment. Stressors are tensions that produce alterations in the normal flow of the environment. These stressors can be:
1. Intrapersonal - occurs within the self and comprises of man as a psycho-spiritual being
2. Interpersonal - occurs between one or more individual and consists of man as a social being
3. Extrapersonal - occurs outside the individual and may include environmental factors

System Model in Nursing Practice
1. Client Variables
- physiological, sociocultural developmental and spiritual—function to achieve stability in relation to the environmental stressors experienced by the client.

2. Lines of Resistance
- acts when the Normal Line of Defense is invaded by too much stressor causing alteration in the normal health pattern to facilitate coping and overcome the stressors that are present within the individual.

3. Normal Line of Defense
- acts in coordination with the normal wellness state. It is the normal reaction of the client in response to stress – the baseline determinants of wellness within the health continuum.

4. Flexible Line of Defense
- helps the body to adjust to situations that threaten the imbalance within the client's stability.

5. Stressors
Stressors are forces that produce tensions, alterations or potential problems causing instability within the clients system.

6. Reaction
Reactions are the outcomes or produced results of certain stressors and actions of the lines resistance of a client. It can be positive or negative depending on the degree of reaction the client produces to adjust and adapt with the situation.
a. Negentropy is set towards stability or wellness
b. Egentropy is set towards disorganization of the system producing illness

7. Prevention
Prevention is used to attain balance within the continuum of health

Three Levels of Prevention according to this theory:
A. Primary prevention – focuses on foreseeing the result of an act or situation and preventing its unnecessary effects as possible. It also aims to strengthen the capacity of a person to maintain an optimum level of functioning while being interactive with the environment. Ex. health promotion and disease prevention.

B. Secondary prevention – focuses on helping alleviate the actual existing effects of an action that altered the balance of health. It aims to reduce environmental influences that cause an alteration in the stability of the client. Ex. Early diseases detection and prompt treatment.

C. Tertiary prevention – focuses on the actual treatments or adjustments to facilitate strengthening of person after being exposed to stressor. Aims to prevent regression and recurrence of the disease. Ex. Rehabilitation

8. Reconstitution
A state of returning back to old health self.

Application
Practice:
1. Holistic approach in the care of the patients.

Education:
1. Effective in conceptual transition among all levels of nursing education.
2. Basis for continuing education after graduation facilitating professional growth.
3. Validate nursing roles and activities and its applicability beyond nursing practice.

Research:
1. Widely used framework used in nursing research that guides enhancement of nursing care.

Analysis
Simplicity
1. It is simple for people especially health/medical related professionals whom can understand the concepts of health continuum.

Generality
1. Applicable in any health care settings.
2. The theory is comprehensive and adaptable.

Emperical Precision
1. Utilizes empiricism, wherein the theory is testable by mere use of observation.

Clarity
1. Congruent with traditional nursing values.
2. Consistent with other non-nursing theories.

Derivable Consequences
1. Introduction of the nursing process (assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation)
2. Provides guidelines for professional nurses.

Journal Reading

GLOBAL APPLICATIONS OF THE SYSTEMS MODEL

Because the model is flexible and adaptable to a wide range of groups and situations, people have used the model globally, and for more than two decades. Neuman’s first book, The Neuman Systems Model: Application to Nursing Education and Practice, was published in 1982 as a response to requests for data and support in applying the model. Neuman published two additional editions of the book, with the third edition published in 1995 in response to expanded use of the model globally. The third edition includes applications of the Neuman Systems Model to nursing education, practice, administration, and research.

Application of the Neuman Systems Model to Nursing Education

In the 1980s exploration and use of the model greatly accelerated in education at all levels of practice in varied settings. These settings include the United States and locations such as Canada, Europe, Australia, and the Far East. There are many schools of nursing in the United States that have chosen to use the Neuman Systems Model as a curriculum framework or for selected courses. Most schools surveyed indicated reasons they chose the Neuman model. Generally, the reason for choosing the model was consistency with the school in one or more of the following areas: the school’s beliefs; philosophy; and concepts of humans, health, nursing, and environment. Associate degree nursing programs that have used the model include Athens Area Technical Institute, Athens, Georgia; Cecil Community College, North East, Maryland; Central Florida Community College, Ocala, Florida; Los Angeles County Medical Center School of Nursing, Los Angeles Valley College, Van Nuys, California; Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville, Florida; and Yakima Valley Community College, Yakima, Washington.

Baccalaureate nursing programs that have used the model include California State University, Fresno; Indiana University; Indianapolis; Purdue University, Fort Wayne, Indiana; University of Tennessee; and the University of Texas, Tyler. Gustavus Adolphus College, and St. Peter and St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, also have used the model.

Educational programs in the United States reported benefits with using the model. The model (1) facilitated cultural considerations in the curriculum related to the populations the schools and graduates served, (2) provided a nursing focus as opposed to medical focus, (3) included the concept of clients as holistic beings, (4) allowed flexibility in arrangement of content and conceptualization of program needs, (5) was comprehensive and facilitated seeing the person as composites of the five variables, (6) provided a framework to study individual illness and reaction to stressors, (7) was broad enough to allow educational programs to consider family as the context within which individuals live or as the unit of care, and (8) considered the created environment. Education programs have developed evaluation instruments to determine the effects of using the model as a framework for nursing knowledge.

The primary instrument that is cited in the nursing literature is the Lowry-Jopp Neuman Model Evaluation Instrument. This instrument was developed and used to evaluate the efficacy of using the model at Cecil Community College. The results of a five-year longitudinal study showed that the graduates used the model most of the time when fulfilling roles of care provider and teacher. All classes in the study claimed colleagues rarely knew, accepted, or encouraged model use. Therefore, colleagues in work settings tended to have a negative effect on the use of models. The model is also being used internationally. Craig reported on the experiences of 10 educational institutions in Canada that represent six Canadian provinces. These institutions include the University of Saskatchewan, University of Prince Edward Island, University of Calgary, Brandon University of New Brunswick, Université de Moncton, University of Western Ontario, University of Windsor, Okanagan College, University of Toronto, and University of Ottawa.

Model strengths were reported by educational institutions in Canada. The holistic approach that addressed levels of prevention guided the student to focus on the client in his or her own environment. The model also assisted the student to carry out in-depth assessments, to categorize comprehensive data, and to plan specific interventions with the client. The students did report some difficulty in understanding the complexity of the model, and the developmental and spiritual variables. The students reported that it was not always easy to differentiate between the lines of defense and resistance, or to assess the degree of stressor penetration.

The Neuman Model is also being used in educational institutions in South Australia, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. McCulloch reported that a survey of all Australian university programs showed that four undergraduate programs used the model as the major organizational curriculum framework, and another 16 programs introduced undergraduate and postgraduate students to the Neuman Model as one of several models. Vaughan and Gough found that many nursing and midwifery students chose to use the model in their own practice in the United Kingdom. They also reported that Avon and Gloucestershire College of Health used the model as the guiding principle behind curriculum development for child care. Engberg reported that most colleges throughout Sweden use the Neuman Systems Model as the theoretical framework in the module of primary health in nursing education.

Application of the Neuman Systems Model to Nursing Practice

The Neuman Systems Model is being used in diverse practice settings. In the United States, the model is used to guide practice with clients with cognitive impairment, meeting family needs of clients in critical care; to provide stable support groups for parents with infants in neonatal intensive care units; and to meet the needs of home caregivers, with emphasis on clients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and head traumas. The model is used in psychiatric nursing, gerontological nursing, perinatal nursing, and occupational health nursing. Internationally, the model is being used in Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Nether- lands, New Zealand, Australia, Jordan, Israel, Slovenia, and several East Asian countries (e.g., Japan, Korea, and Taiwan). Practice areas include community/ public health care.

Nursing Administration and the Neuman Systems Model

The Neuman Systems Model has been used in diverse nursing administration settings in the United States. These settings include a community nursing center, psychiatric hospital, a continuing care retirement community, and Oklahoma State Public Health Nursing. Poole and Flowers demonstrated how the model is used in case management of pregnant substance abusers. Kelley and Sanders presented an assessment tool that intertwines the management process, the Neuman Systems Model, and environmental dimensions. Walker demonstrated how the model and total quality management are used to prepare health-care administrators for the future.

Nursing Research and the Neuman Systems Model

Gigliotti acknowledged that the Neuman Model’s use as a guide in directing nursing education and clinical practice has received much national and international attention. However, the model’s use as a guide to nursing research and the generation of nursing theory based on the research is in the early stages of development, although growing. In order to facilitate the use of nursing research with the Neuman Systems Model, Meleis has elaborated on principles and approaches that may be used to develop a futuristic agenda to validate the Neuman Systems Theory. Fawcett has offered guidelines for constructing Neuman Systems Model–based studies. Neuman revisited these guidelines in her 1996 article in Nursing Science Quarterly. She acknowledged that the Neuman model has guided a range of study designs, from qualitative descriptions of relevant phenomena to quantitative experiments that tested the effects of prevention interventions on a variety of client-system outcomes. She provided numerous examples of descriptive studies, correlational research, and experimental and quasi-experimental studies. Neuman elaborated on how to construct Neuman Model–based research. Smith and Edgil have proposed a plan for testing middle-range theories with the model. Their plan involved the creation of an Institute for the Study of the Model to formulate and test theories through collaboration, including interdisciplinary as well as multi-site efforts. They suggested directions for the work to be done, an organizing structure, and a task analysis of what and who would be appropriate to participate in task completion. Breckenridge has actually used the Neuman model to develop a middle-range theory based on nephrology practice. Gigliotti has identified conceptual and empirical concerns imposed upon her when she operationalized Neuman’s lines of defense and resistance in her research. She concluded that the Neuman Model offers an excellent and comprehensive framework from which to view the metaconcepts relevant to the discipline of nursing: person, environment, health, and nursing. Gigliotti says it is time to institute the comprehensive research program proposed by Smith and Edgil.

Projections For Use Of The Model In The Twenty-First Century

Neuman believes her model is “both concept and process relevant as a directive toward nursing and other health care activities in the challenging 21st Century”. This model has been used to make projections about the future of nursing and health care. Procter and Cheek and Tomlinson and Anderson provided two examples of this use. Procter and Cheek used the model to project the role of the nurse in world catastrophic events, and Tomlinson and Anderson used the model to project family health as a system. Procter and Cheek studied experiences of Serbian Australians at the time of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia using the Neuman Systems Model to understand the experiences. As a result of the study, the researchers came up with implications for the role of nursing in world catastrophic events. The researchers suggested the goal of nursing in such worldwide events should be to assist individuals and communities to retain maximum wellness and system stability as they strive for a sense of inner peace and contentment against impossible odds.

Tomlinson and Anderson recognized that there is an increasing focus on the family system as a health entity. They acknowledged, however, that there is not a universally accepted definition of “family health” as a systems phenomenon. Tomlinson and Anderson proposed that the nurse who uses the broad concepts of the Neuman Model along with a shared family health systems perspective, in which the whole family is the client in the health promotion enterprise, will be well prepared to meet future nursing challenges.

The Neuman Systems Model has been used for over 2 decades; first as a teaching tool and later as a conceptual model to observe and interpret the phenomena of nursing and health care globally. Dr. Neuman wrote: “The future of the Neuman Systems Model looks bright.” She believes her model can readily accommodate future changes in health care delivery. The reader has been introduced to the model and some of the global applications of the model.

Betty Neuman's Systems Model

The application of her theory is used worldwide, her contributions to the field of nursing is truly a great succes. As she has said that if a subpart losses its function the whole or mainparts will also be affected. She also emphasized on the social, mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional state of being of a patient.

Unknown said...

One thing that I find really interesting with ragards to Betty Neuman's System Model is that it requires holistic approach in meeting the client's needs and factors like physical, social, cultural, among others are considered in doing this.

Another that I like about this theory is about stress management. So I think the formulation of this theory is really helpful.

Betty Neuman is a great theorist and a researcher. Her difference to other theorist is that she is married. She is a loving wife as well as a brilliant nurse. She received populous awards and published several books to help the nursing profession. Neuman popularized the "Systems Model in Nursing Practice" which gave significance in caring for the patients as a whole. There she described 8 procedures in the systems model which are the client variables, lines of resistance, normal line of defense, flexible line of defense, stressors, reaction, prevention and reconstitution.

In this theory I learned that a nurse is the one who should give the patient the complete caring for the patients to be able to recover easily.
The nurse is the one who will explain to the patient about his condition for then to understand it.

Of all the five theories discussed, she is the only theorist who has husband. She is a very supportive wife. I admired her for she could balance love life and her career. Her system model that tells about holistic approach to client will be of great help. It is really true that “ang sakit ng kalingkingan, ramdam ng buong katawan”. And nurses must not just consider the health , its physical and physiological status of an individual but also the whole aspect of the person, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Betty Neuman formulated system theory wherein she said "health is a conditon in which all parts and subparts are in harmony with the whole of the client". It means that even your little finger in your foot is inpain your whole body can feel it. She fomuated Nursing Process: 1st Assessment;
2nd Nursing Diagnosis; 3rd Goal of care; 4th Intervention;
5th Evaluation; and last or 6th Re-evaluation. Nurses followed this to help the patient to become healthy again or that is called "reconstitution".

Neuman's system model was greatly used within the nursing profession. "prevention is better than cure", this saying applied perfectly in her theory. for it enables nurses to evaluate the prevention that is needed and umh, prevent it? ha ha.


i'm impressed with her educational background of Betty Neuman. Being able to have an education at the University of California in Los Angeles is for me, a very impressive satisfaction. this school produces great leaders like Betty Neuman and gained my respects for her.

Good Afternoon Mrs. Oleresisimo,

I think that this article very informative to us nursing students because it is clearly stated that the nurses be considerate to our patients when in comes to caring that we must achieve stability of the relation to the environmental stressors experienced by our patient,we must protect our patient not to be invaded by too much stressor causing alteration to their normal health pattern, must coordinate with the normal wellness state of the patient, must help the body of the patient to adjust to situations that threaten the imbalance within our patient's stability, must attain the balance of our patient's continuum of health, and most importantly returning our patient's back to old his/her health self. And for the Journal Reading Of Neuman is also informative too because it stated that the theory of Neuman is Applicable throughout the World and so on and it has been used in many aspects of caring.

And I Thank You for this added Information about the Systems Model and Betty Neuman.

Betty Neuman’s System model adds to the betterment of the nursing practice of nurses through the different concepts in the model. It discusses about the different variables involved in the model. Those variables are defined briefly for its credibility in nursing practice. Its prevention variable is divided into three subparts which aim at foreseeing, alleviating and strengthening the condition of the patient during its reparative process.

Betty Neuman (Systems Model in Nursing Practice)
It is the concept of a whole person and an open system approach. The main role of the nurse in her theory is to help a person to adapt with environmental stimuli.
Nurses needs to follow a system(system model) in order for their patient's recovery. Physical,physiological.psychological,mental,social,cultural,and spiritual well being are the eight factors that affect health.

"Health is a condition in which all parts and subparts are in harmony with the whole of the client," quoted by Betty Neuman.

This statement only means that the body is more than the sum of its parts; in connection with her theory which is the System Model in Nursing Practice, it incorporated the concept of a whole person and an open system approach, which aimed towards the development of a person in a state of wellness having the capacity to function optimally.

Betty Neuman is such a great, intelligent and a responsible person. She developed love for the land and her compassion for people in need. She is really one of a kind.

Her theory gave us many ideas in connection with dealing of nurses to their patients. She requires a holistic approach, an approach that considers all factors affecting a client's health. It can help nurses to formulate an approach that can prevent and alleviate the client's condition.

Betty Neuman System model in nursing serves as a guide for nursing practice.
Her theory gives me an idea on how to render care in a holistic manner, i've learned that nurses is the one who will give proper care and not the one will cause those kind of stressors.
We must learn how to control our emotions when we are stressed because it we affect other person…
Neuman is an inspiration to me because of her numerous achievements...
So, i hope that i can finish my studies....

"Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.”
Stephen R. Covey quotes
Physical aspect is not only the concern of a nurse hence, every part and aspects (physiological, emotional,social,psychological,and spiritual)that make the person as a whole should be the concern of the nurse.
After discussing Betty Neuman`s systems Model. I conclude that if one part of the system don`t function properly, illness which may affect the wellness of the person.
HEr theory can help us, student nurses, to know and to prepare our self for our future career. that we should not only consider the patient`s Physical condition because maybe there are other reason and affecting body. Another thing is the stress concept, we all know that stress is a tension
cause by the stressor that came from the environment, which can be internal, external environment.

First of all I am shocked because for the first time, there is a nursing theorist that is married or has a husband, that she actually helped him to established and manage his medical practice. Betty Neuman just break the first qualification that a nursing theorist must have, and that is to have no love life.
Betty Neuman for me is like a living legend, she conceptualized such an outstanding theory that can be applied to a wide range of groups and situation such as nursing practice. Her theory explains how person will comply to such individual, things and situation. This explains also how to manage yourself into certain stressor, how will you react and how will put yourself behind your stress.
I am very much impressed to the three level of prevention, because of these three I have learned how to react and protect myself into certain stressor in different situations.

I think that Betty Neuman have done a very wonderful job in conceptualizing the systems model theory. This is applicable to everyone and even me can use this theory when in a situation that truly inevitable, like the stressor. Now, I know that all of us must be responsible enough because we have different state such as social, mental, spiritual, physical and emotional. This theory really makes me understand how to manage yourself with something unusual.

Betty Neuman emphasized to the caring of the patients by giving the whole system of the patients which affect their health. Other than that, I learned that nurses are responsible of the social, mental, spiritual, physical and emotional state of being of the patient. From the word stressors, I learned that I must consider some factors which may produce stress.

Thank you ma'am for posting this article.

Betty Neuman was the one who proposed the Systems Model. She conceptualized the model from sound theories rather than from nursing research..The goal of the system's model of Betty Neuman is the holistic overview of physiological, psychological, sociocultural, and developmental aspects of human beings.Its purpose is also to give knowledge and development to the science of nursing. Learning the system model theory will guide the nurse in practice to promote optimal wellness of the client.

Betty Neumann, another nursing theorist who shared his knowledge for the improvement of nursing care. She introduced the "Systems Model" which gives the nurses the knowledge of another effective way of caring for their patients. To manage everyday stress as a part of human experiences, a nurse should help his/her patient relieve from his stress by "wholistic client approach" that is helping the patient wholly, including all aspects of himself(physical, mental, spiritual, social and spiritual).
Thank you for another knowledge... thank you Betty Neumann...May your teachings spread and be ever live...and that is by learning and applying everything we have studied about Betty Neumann's Theory...The Systems Model.

Betty Neumann's Theory of System model is very helpful in nursing practice. The system model talks about achieving stable health or condition with the environmental stressors, which means a patient should know how to adjust themselves with the enviroment to maintain their good health but if a person is unable to do this she/he is unhealthy.. It also aims to strengthen the capacity of a patient to maintain/keep an optimum level of functioning while being interactive with the environment. She view a person as a complete system were the subparts of the body cooperate with the whole personality and health of the clients.

Woman of great mind and heart for the family, this is how I view Betty Neuman from her works, achievements and honors attained. She also managed to give emphasis on human survival. Survival in this tough world wherein anytime and anywhere, stress may come across your way. No wonder why most of us are not aware in dealing with these stressors. Thanks to Neuman, nurses are benefited by her systems model since her focus is on how we can manage unwanted encounters. Her theory serves as an aid for us to survive struggles/stressors that may come especially in our chosen field. Since stressors are not only pertinent to nurses, this systems model may somehow be applied to other fields as well, most likely related to nursing profession.

Betty Neuman’s Systems Model focus and provides a complete, system based conceptual framework, firstly intended to be used in nursing practice but it can be used by other health professions. She approaches care to clients as a whole (like In the Gestalt Theory). Her life seems just right because she have a family not similar to the other theories. Her theory is very applicable to the nursing profession because the nurses should know how to help his client to recover from his bad health. We must understand the theory of nursing theorist for the knowledge of how to relate it in our daily actions and to have some information concerning to this line of work.

Betty Neuman is such a great theorist and an intelligent person. She gave a great contribution into the nursing profession which is her theory, "The System Model in Nursing Practice."

Acccording to Neuman, health is a condition which all parts and subparts are in harmony with the whole of the client. Wherein, it is better to consider all factors affecting the client's health and not only some of its parts.
Nursing requires holistic approach, an approach that considers all factors affecting client's health. A nurse must be able to adjust to meet the individual and unique needs of every client.

System Model in Nursing provides guidelines for a professional nurse to have an accurate assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of the planned care for the patients.

As a nurse we must keep in mind the “System Model” of Betty Neuman in our practice.

Joyce Travelbee's theory "HUMAN TO HUMAN RELATIONSHIP MODEL" brings about a smooth relationship between the nurse and the patient. The nurse tries to give enough inner strenght to a patient whose in a stage of illness. As a future nurse, I will try to encourage a patient to recover his or her self faster because there are people who are still waiting to his or her return of wellness.

Joyce Travelbee's theory focuses on pain and suffering that if a patient experience illness, everything are in pain, hopeless, sufferings and illness that a person is experiencing.

Her theory is applicable to a patient who is sufffering in a disease of cancer , wherein it really helps the patient a lot to accept the fact that she is sick, and for having enough strenght and hope of life.

Joyce Travelbee's theory is being showed in the novel "THE LAST HAIR STRAND" written by our TFN teacher, MRS.DANELA OLORESISISMO of SLSU LUCBAN. The nurse together with the doctor trying to encourage and trying to give inner strenght to the patient telling that she must be very thankful to the hours that she's still breathing here in the world of ours. For God gave her the chance to help other people in her last minute of living. This was a very touching and inspiring novel for a last minute of one's life still they make another life to live.

Neuman's Systems Model is complete and wide-ranging.The importance of stressors coming from the internal, external, or from a created environment is very useful in assessing and understanding the health issues of the patient. The levels of prevention allow interventions to be fitted towards the patient's current situation, with the focus on health attainment and support.

Betty Neuman help me a lot to pursue my selected course because in spite of the fact that she was a rural girl, she still pursued to be a nurse and as a result she is one of the most respective nurses in the history. I admire Neuman because though she was busy for her studies, she still gave enough time for social life and she had settled her own family.
Betty Neuman’s theory and her system model(which thought about the words; client variables, line of resistance, normal line of defense, flexible lines of defense, stressors, reaction, prevention and reconstitution) had a very great influence in the nursing profession. Actually it is widely and globally used in acceleration of nursing education, diverse practice setting (as applied in the HIV/AIDS, head traumas, cancer and management of pregnant substance abuser) and in guidelines and development of other researches since her theory was flexible and adaptable.
It thought me to adapt to certain stressor and how to prevent it. Also Neuman introduced me the holistic approach where a nurse should not focus on only one aspect of human, instead all factors in everyone's well being should be focused. His/her physical,emotional,social,mental and spiritual well-being should be considered.

My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
