Neuman Systems Model in Nursing

Neuman Systems Model in Nursing

Part One:

Neuman Systems Models is a flexible and adaptive model which can be applied to various aspects of nursing disciplines. Today, the model is used globally as a nursing conceptual model to guide curriculum development, research studies, and clinical practice in the full array of health-care disciplines.

Neuman Systems Model in Nursing
Define a nursing practice area where you could apply Neuman Systems Model. What patient population would you target? How would you use this model to guide best practices? How would nursing outcomes be determined? Use at least one current research article related to your practice example.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook.

Nursing Assignment
Part Two:

Create a Power Point Presentation to discuss the following

Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine.

His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work.

How would the use of the Roy Adaptation Model assist the nurse in planning the continuation of care for Sgt. Johns?
Describe the influence of Roy’s Theory in guiding the nurse’s actions in promoting Sgt. Johns adjusted self-concept.
From the perspective of the Roy Adaptation Model, why is it important for the nurse to listen to Sgt. Johns’ “story” in his own words and not just base her interactions on information from the chart, fellow colleagues, or his family?
Based on Neuman System’s Model, identify at least 4 stressors from the case study. Create a plan of care based on Neuman Systems Model for Sgt. Johns.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO CITE WORK ON EACH SLIDE OR OUTSIDE SOURCE. Your PowerPoint should include at least 1 outside reference and your book. The presentation should be 10 to 15 slides in length.

Part One:

Neuman Systems Model (NSM) can be applied to various nursing practice areas, such as mental health, critical care, and community nursing. One practice area where NSM can be applied is in the care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a long-term condition that affects the kidneys’ ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. The patient population that could be targeted is CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

NSM can be used to guide best practices in the care of CKD patients by assessing the patient’s individual stressors, such as physical, psychological, and environmental factors, and developing interventions to address them. The nursing process involves primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention aims to prevent the occurrence of stressors, secondary prevention focuses on early detection and treatment of stressors, and tertiary prevention focuses on the restoration and rehabilitation of the patient’s system.

The nursing outcomes for CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis could be determined by assessing their physical and psychological health status, quality of life, and adherence to the treatment plan. A research article by Ghaiath Hussein et al. (2021) explored the effect of NSM on the quality of life and adherence to treatment among hemodialysis patients. The study found that applying NSM in nursing practice improved patients’ quality of life and adherence to treatment.
