THEORY OF GOAL ATTAINTMENT OF
IMOGENE KING
“Nursing is a process of action, reaction, and interaction by
which nurse and client share information about their
perception in a nursing situation” and “a process of human
interactions between nurse and client whereby each perceives
the other and the situation, and through communication, they
set goals, explore means, and agree on means to achieve
goals.”
Imogene King
Focuses on the attainment of certain life goals.
The nurse and patient go hand-in-hand in
communicating information, set goals together, and
then take actions to achieve those goals.
This is also the basic assumption of nursing
process
Theory describes a dynamic, interpersonal
relationship in which a person grows and develops
to attain certain life goals.

Major Concepts and Sub concepts
NURSING
Nursing is a process of action, reaction, and interaction
whereby nurse and client share information about their
perceptions in the nursing situation.
HEALTH
Health is a dynamic life experience of a human
being, which implies continuous adjustment to
stressors in the internal and external environment
through optimum use of one’s resources to achieve
maximum daily living potential.
INDIVIDUAL
Individuals are social beings who are rational and sentient.
Humans communicate their thoughts, actions, customs,
and beliefs through language. Persons exhibit common
characteristics such as the ability to perceive, think, feel,
choose between alternative courses of action, set goals,
select the means to achieve goals, and make decisions.
Major Concepts and Sub concepts
ENVIRONMENT
The environment is the background for human interactions. It
is both external to, and internal to, the individual.
ACTION
Action is defined as a sequence of behaviors
involving mental and physical activity.
REACTION
The reaction is not specifically defined but might be
considered in the sequence of behaviors described in
action.

others’ reactions to one’s appearance.
Time - is defined as “a duration between one event and
another as uniquely experienced by each human being; it
is the relation of one event to another event.”
