's Systems Model: A Comprehensive Holistic And System-Based Approach To Nursing

Betty Neuman's Systems Model provides a comprehensive holistic and system-based approach to nursing that contains an element of flexibility applicable to Patient 0125. Our patient 0125is a relatively young man that will benefit from interventions based on Betty Neuman’s systems model. Betty Neuman's Systems Model provides a comprehensive holistic and system-based approach to nursing that contains an element of flexibility. The theory focuses on the response of the patient system to actual or potential environmental stressors and the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary nursing prevention intervention for retention, attainment, and maintenance of the patient. In the Neuman's theory, a human being is a total person as a client system and
The data includes health-seeking behaviors, activity intolerance, ineffective coping, and ineffective thermoregulation. The third step in the nursing process is to set goals. The ultimate goal is to keep the client system stable. From the goals, a plan is created, which focuses on strengthening lines of defense and resistance. That plan is implemented using primary, secondary, and tertiary preventions. Finally, the nursing process is evaluated to determine if the balance was restored, and a stable state maintained Neuman explains environment as the totality of the internal and external forces which surround a person, and with which they interact at any given time. These forces include the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and extra-personal stressors, which can affect the person's normal line of defense and so can affect the stability of the system. The environment has three components: the internal, which exists within the client system; the external, which exists outside the client system; and the created, which is an environment that is created and developed unconsciously by the client and is symbolic of system
The patient has a history of the Bi-polar affective disorder and can benefit from the system model. The major concepts of Neuman's theory that can be applied to Patient 0125 are content, which is the variables of the person in interaction with the environment; basic structure or central core; the degree to reaction; entropy, which is a process of energy depletion and disorganization moving the client toward illness. Newman also describes the flexible line of defense, normal line of defense, and line of resistance. Patient wellness is based upon input-output and called “negentropy”, which is a process of energy conservation that increases organization and complexity, moving the system toward stability or a higher degree of wellness.
The systems model applies to patient 0125 because the evaluation and treatment of Bipolar disorder are multi-faceted and need to be approached with a well-developed clinical plan. The clinical plan for patient 0125 utilizes primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention focuses on keeping stressors and the stress response from having a detrimental effect on patient 0125. Primary prevention occurs before the patient reacts to a stressor. It includes health promotion and maintaining wellness. Patient 0125s lifestyle includes working as a manager having a healthy relationship with his
