Theoretical Framework In relation to Quality of Life, he researchers utilized the Dorothy Johnsons Behavioral System model which focuses

on clients that were stressed by a stimulus either an internal or external nature. These stressful stimuli shaped such conflict, or tensions in a person state of disequilibrium occurred. She recognized two areas of focus for nursing care that are based in giving back to the client to a state of equilibrium, or balance. First, care should lessen stimuli that are stressors and second care should offer support of the client normal defenses and adaptive process. Johnson believes that each individual has a focusing and repeating ways of acting which covers a behavioral system

distinct to that individual. These actions or behaviors form outstanding thoughtsout and included functional unit that

These

behaviors are logical, fixed, predictable and adequately secure and persistent to be satisfying to depiction and clarifications. The three interacting systems in her Theory of Goal

Attainment are the personal system, the interpersonal system,

and the social system. Each system is given different concepts. The concepts and for the personal body system image, are: perception, and time. self, The

are:

"process of action, reaction and interaction by which nurse and patient share information about their perception in nursing

situation." According to King, nursing's focus is on the care of the patient, and its goal is the health care of patients and groups of patients.

According to King, the goal of the nurse is to help patients maintain health so they can function in their individual roles. The nurse's function is to interpret information in the nursing process, to plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care. In the nurse-patient relationship, the nurse first uses his or her knowledge base to assess the patient and make a

diagnosis. After the diagnosis, the nurse creates a plan for interventions to solve problems that were identified in the

assessment and diagnosis. Once a care plan is created, actions are implemented to achieve the patient's health goals. Finally,

the nurse evaluates the patient to determine whether or not the goals were achieved. In the healthcare field, the ultimate goal in the nursepatient relationship is to help the patient achieve his or her goals for getting healthy. By using the nursing process

described in Imogene King's Theory of Goal Attainment, a nurse can be more effective in working with a patient to achieve those goals, and can truly help patients. The central focus of Kings framework is man as a dynamic human being whose perceptions of objects, persons, and events influence his behavior, social interaction, and health.

I havent received the Background of the study yet. Where is it!???? Didnt change this much, I just removed

Eriksons theory. Please bug them to submit their work if you want this o finish early!
