Dorothy E. Johnson's Behavioral System Model
This research uses Behavioral System Model as the theoretical framework. It is a nursing care model that have been introduced by Dorothy E. Johnson since 1968 which advocates the nurturing of efficient and effective patient’s functioning behavior in preventing illness. At the same time, this model also stresses on the importance of research-based knowledge regarding the nursing care effects on the patients (Wayne, 2014).
Behavior System Model have stated fourfold of nursing goals that need to be met in delivering care for patients. It includes the goal to assist patient which shows behavior that is proportional to social demands, to assist patient who is able to modify his behaviors in ways that it supports the importance of biological needs,
to assist patient who is able to benefit to the fullest extent during illness from the physician’s knowledge and skill and to assist patient whose behavior does not give evidence of unnecessary trauma as a result of illness (Wayne, 2014).
