Neuman’s System Model Shanda Richer RN, BSN, CEN Christina Jilek RN
Origin of Systems Model • Used to teach nursing students. • The goal of the model was to provide a “wholistic”or holistic overview: • physiological • psychological • socio-cultural • and developmental aspects of human beings. • (Neuman, 2008)
What is the Neuman Systems Model • Views the person as a layered, multidimensional whole that is in constant dynamic interaction with the environment (Heyman & Heyman, 2000). • Main goal is to protect the core • How? • Levels of defense • Stress reactions • Feedback • Prevention
Research • NSM(Neuman System Model) Research Institute • Purpose of the Research Institute is to formulate and test NSM. • Past research • Eileen Gigliotti published a research article in 1999 based on the Neuman Systems Model( Gigliotti ,1996). • In 2001 over 200 research studies involved Neuman's Systems Model
Research Continued • 2001: Wellness and Stressors that Interfere with the Beduin Woman’s Pursuit of Wellness for Self and Family • 2001: Cultural Research: Application of the Neuman Systems Model • 2001: A Nursing Intervention Designed to Increase Resilience in Homeless Abused Women • 2003: Stanhope and Lancaster researched stress due to job loss and the poor economy (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2003)
How is it applied to nursing? • NURSING PROCESS BASED ON SYSTEM MODEL • Assessment: • Nursing diagnosis • Outcome identification and planning • Implementation • Evaluation
continued • Neuman Systems Model used in: • All areas of nursing including • Public health • Family nursing • Health Policy • Nursing education (assessment, Nursing Dx, goals, outcomes) • Psychiatric nursing • Research
Neuman and my current nursing practice • Guides the practice @ SJHS (South Jersey Healthcare). • Chosen by unit based nursing councils • Most consistent with SJHS culture • Is reflected in our assessments • Supports SJHS mission and vision
continued • Initial assessment used as guide to formulate nursing diagnosis • Plan of care developed with identified needs • Interventions are formulated as a inter- disciplinary group (holistic) • Goals are set and outcomes evaluated daily • Patients position on continuum of wellness based on evaluation outcomes and adjusted accordingly
