Initiation to develop the theory
Orlando’s model was developed after

being dissatisfied with the views that
nurses were motivated to act as a result
of orders from physicians, institutional
policies, and other reasons, none of
which related to nursing action based on
10/26/2021
meeting patients’ needs.
Tigest & Tiruye 13
Origin of theory
• Orlando developed her theory from a study
conducted at the Yale University School of Nursing,
integrating mental health concepts into a basic
nursing curriculum.
• In the late 1950s, Orlando developed her theory
inductively through an empirical study of nursing
practice.
• For 3 years, she recorded 2000 observations between
a nurse and patient interactions.

Cont…
• She then examined the

content of these 2,000
nurse-patient records
and only was able to
categorize them into
two mutually exclusive
sets that she labeled
“good nursing” and
“bad nursing”.

Cont…
• Good nurse’s focus on the immediate verbal and non
verbal behavior of patient from the beginning
through the end of the contact(focus on deliberative
interpretation of the patient),
• where as bad nurse’s focus on something that had
nothing to do with the patient’s behavior(Automatic
nursing formulation)
Cont.….
• From these observations, she formulated the ”D
eliberative Nursing Process” which was
published in 1961.
• Conducted research at McLean Hospital through
continuous tape recording of nurses with
patients and other health care members.
• Based on this research, her formulations were
validated, thus she extended her theory to
include the entire nursing practice system which
then evolved as “Nursing Process Discipline”
Cont.…
• Orlando's theory remains one the of the most
effective practice theories available.
• Many theory scholars utilized her concept as
basis for their further studies.
• Her work has been translated into different
languages and was contained in the
international section.

.
Terms

Distress is the experience of a patient whose need has not been met.

Nursing role is to discover and met the patient immediate need for
help.

Nursing action directly or indirectly provide for patients immediate
need.
outcome is change in the behavior of patient indicating in the relieve

distress or unmet need.

Assumptions
Focuses on:
 Nursing profession
 Nurses
 Patients
The nature of nurse-patient interaction

I)Assumptions about nursing
1. Nursing is a distinct profession separate from other

disciplines.
2. Professional nursing has a distinct function and outcome
3. There is a difference between lay and professional
nursing.
4. Nursing is aligned with medicine.

II) Assumptions about patient
1. Patients’ needs for help are unique.
2. Patients have an initial inability to

communicate their needs for help.
3. When patients cannot meet their own needs they
become distressed.
4. The patient’s behavior is meaningful.

III) Assumptions about Nurses
1. The nurses reaction to each patient is unique.
2. Nurses are responsible for helping patients to avoid
or alleviate distress.
3. The nurses mind is the major tool for helping
patients.
4. A nurse’s practice is improved through self-
reflection.

IV) Assumptions about the nature
of Nurse-Patient interaction
1. The nurse-patient situation is a dynamic whole.

2.The phenomenon of nurse-patient encounter
represents a major source of nursing knowledge.

Meta-paradigm
 The nursing meta-paradigm consists of four

concepts: person, environment, health, and
nursing. Of the four, Orlando included three in
her theory of Nursing Process: person, health,
and nursing.

Cont…
 Human being – Individual with needs,
individuals have their own subjective perceptions and feelings

that may not be observable directly.
For her, humans in need are the focus of nursing practice.
 Health is replaced by a sense of helplessness as the initiator
of a necessity for nursing.
She stated that nursing deals with individuals who are in
need of help.

Cont…
 Nursing as unique and independent in its concerns for
an individual’s need for help in an immediate situation.
 Environment
•Environment is not clearly defined as well in Orlando’s
nursing theory but assumed as a nursing situation when
there is a nurse- patient contact and that both nurse
and patient perceive, think, feel, and act in the immediate
situation
Concepts
The five major concepts:
1. Professional nursing function
2. The patient’s presenting behavior
3. Immediate reaction
4. Deliberative nursing process
5. Improvement
1. Professional Nursing Function
• Organizing principle
• She envisions the nursing function as ’’finding out

and meeting the patient’s immediate need for
help’’.
• If the patient is in need and the need for help is met
by the nurse, the professional function has been
fulfilled.
2. The Patient’s Presenting Behavior
 Problematic situation
 “The presenting behavior of the patient, regardless of
the form in which it appears, may represent a plea
for help’’
 Patient’s behavior can be manifested in the following
forms:
 Verbal, such as asking a question or making a
statement to the nurse; Tigest & Tiruye
10/26/2021 30
Cont…
Vocal: such as coughing, moaning, crying,
wheezing, shouting
Non-verbal: such as Tears in the eyes, skin
color, reddened face, clenched fist, or
physiological manifestations like BP,Pulse
(Orlando 1961).
3. Immediate Reaction
 Internal response
 Person perceives with any one of his five sense organs
an object.
Nurse Reaction- The patient behavior stimulated a nurse
reaction, which marks the beginning of the nursing
process discipline.

Nursing situation is composed of:
Patient behavior
Nurse reaction
Nurse action
Cont.…

Nurse’s Action – the action process by the nurse in a nurse-
patient contact is called nursing process. The nurse’s action
may be automatic or deliberative.
 Automatic Nursing Actions - are nursing actions decided
upon for reasons other than the patient’s immediate need.
 Deliberative Nursing Actions - are actions decided upon
after ascertaining a need and then meeting this need

4. Deliberative Nursing Process
 Investigation
 Deliberative nursing process formulations

reflect the nurse- patient situation as a
dynamic whole; the patient’s behavior affects
the nurse and the nurse’s behavior (action)
affects the patient.

 The use of a deliberative nursing action requires a
shared communication process between the nurse and
the patient in order to determine:
• The meaning of the patients behavior,
• The help required by the patient ,and
• Whether the patient was helped by the nurse’s
action
5.Improvement
• Resolution
• This refers to improvement in the patient’s
behavior
• According to Orlando, If the nurses activity
meets the patient’s immediate needs for help,
the patient’s behavior improves.
• If behavior of the patient doesn’t change, the
nursing function has not been met.

5 Stages of the Deliberative Nursing Process
Assessment in this stage, the nurse completes a holistic
assessment of the patient’s needs.

.

Cont…
 Diagnosis
 The diagnosis stage uses the nurse’s clinical judgment about
health problems.
 The diagnosis can then be confirmed using links to defining
characteristics, related factors, and risk factors found in the
patient’s assessment.
 Planning
 Writing goals and objectives and deciding about appropriate
action.
Cont.…
• The planning stage addresses each of the
problems identified in the diagnosis.
• By the end of this stage, the nurse will have a
nursing care plan.
Implementation
 Final selection and carrying out planned action .

 The nurse begins using the nursing care plan.
Cont…
 Evaluation
 Finally, in the evaluation stage, the nurse looks at the
progress of the patient toward the goals set in the nursing
care plan.
 Changes can be made to the nursing care plan based on how
the patient is progressing toward the goals.
 If any new problems are identified in the evaluation stage,
the process starts over again for those specific problems.

Propositions
 There is a relationship b/n the patient’s
presenting behavior and the presence of

patient distress (an immediate need for help).
 unmeet need > distress
Distress manifests through patients behavior

cont…
There is a relationship between a nurse’s use of distinct
nursing function and the nurse’s ability to recognize the
need for inquiry into the patient’s presenting behavior.
The more competent the nurse is in labeling her or his
perception, thoughts, and feelings (immediate reaction),
the more she or he to find out the nature of the patient
distress.

Cont.…
 If the nurse explore her or his immediate
reaction with the patient, distress is lessened
(Improvement).
 The major aim of Orlando’s theory is to
bring about improvement in the patient’s
behavior.
The nurse’s use of the deliberative nursing
process will be less costly than the nurse’s
use of automatic personal responses.
Applicability of Orlando's theory
 Orlando’s Deliberative Nursing Process

theory focuses on the interaction between the
nurse and patient.
 It is applicable in many situations

Application to Nursing Practice
Orlando’s theory is characterized as a

practice theory, because:
1. It provides a framework to guide nurses’
actions.
2. It focuses on nurse’s-mind set.
3. Can easily understand and use everyday
practice.

cont…
• Use in Clinical Practice;
– Nursing care plan
– Case studies
– Progressive patient care
settings

cont.….
Application to Education
• Orlando nursing process theory was

recommended for
teaching BSN students and
 conceptualize BSN curriculums

Strengths
 Prevent inaccurate diagnosis or in effective plan.
 The patient will be treated as individuals and they will

participate into their own care.
 Assertion of nursing’s independence as a profession

based on a sound theoretical frame work.
 Guides the nurse to evaluate their care in terms of

observable patient out come.

Weaknesses
 The lack of the operational definitions of society or
environment which limits the development of research
hypothesis.
 Orlando’s work focuses on short term care, particularly
aware and conscious individuals
 Absence of reference group or family members.

Summary
• Focuses on the interaction between the nurse -
patient to produce positive outcomes or patient
improvement.
• Orlando's key focus was to define the function of
nursing.
• Orlando's theory remains one of the most
effective practice theory.
• The use of her theory keeps the nurse's focus on
the patient’s immediate need for help. .
Cont.…

nursing process and the importance of the
patient’s participation in the nursing
process
• The theory is clear, concise, and easy to
use.
• The most effective practice theory,
especially helpful to new nurses as they
begin their practice.
