The Neumans Systems Model

Paper Summary:

The writer shows how modern day nursing has changed dramatically to become more specialized. Based on these changes and the increasing need for flexibility, the writer asks whether is it still possible, or desirable, for modern nursing to base its practices on theories such as The Neuman Systems Model, whose broad, rigid ideas were developed in order to tackle challenges which were very different from those faced in the 21st century.

From the Paper:

"In addressing the remaining factors of the nursing metaparadigm, The Neuman System s Model, describes the environment as the totality of internal and external forces with which a person interacts and, additionally, identifies a created environment, which is one that is created and developed unconsciously by the client. The model views health as being synonymous with wellness, and considers that each individual adopts a constantly changing position at some point along a wellness-illness continuum, their position at any given point in time being dependent on their interactions with, and reaction to, the environmental stressors."
