Nightingale’s Nursing Theory :

 Nightingale’s Nursing Theory The first published nursing
  theory in 1860.

 Persons are in relation with the environment. Stresses the
  healing properties of the physical environment (fresh air, light,
  warmth, and cleanliness).

 Nursing puts patients in the “best conditions” for nature to
  act upon them.

 Health is “the positive of which the pathology is the negative”
  “Nature alone cures”
Contd………

 When aspects of the environment are out of balance, the
  client must use energy to counter these environmental
  stresses.


 Stresses drain the client of the energy needed for
  healing Viewed disease as a reparative process.


 The health of the home/community is critical components in
  an individual’s health .
Contd……..
 Theory basis:

 the inter-relationship of a healthful environment with
 nursing External influences and conditions can prevent,
 suppress, or contribute to disease or death.

 Theory goal:

 Nurses help patients, families & the community to
  retain their own vitality by meeting their basic needs
  through control of the environment .
Nightingale’s Environmental Theory’s
                Model
Physical Environment
 Physical Environment Consists of physical elements where the
  patient is being treated & affects all other aspects of the
  environment.

 Cleanliness of environment relates directly to disease
  prevention and patient mortality.

 Aspects of the physical environment influence the social and
  psychological environments of the person.
Contd…………
 Psychological Environment
 It can be affected by a negative physical environment which then
  causes STRESS and affect to the patient’s emotional state.

 It requires various activities to keep the patient’s mind active (i.e,
  manual work, appealing food, a pleasing environment).

 Communication should be therapeutic, soothing, & unhurried

 Patient should not be encouraged by false hopes and advice about
  their illness
Contd……….
 Social Environment
 Social Environment Involves collecting data about illness and
  disease prevention.

 It includes components of the physical environment i.e clean
  air, clean water, proper drainage.

 It consists of a person’s home or hospital room, as well as the
  total community that affects the patient’s specific
  environment .

 Observation of the social environment especially as related to
  specific data collection related to illness which is essential to
  preventing disease.

Summary


The cleanliness of physical environment has direct bearing on
the prevention of disease and mortality rates within the social
environment of the community. Also all patients’ psychology
environment are strongly affected by physical surroundings.
Components of a Healthful
              Environment
There are 5 majors component:-
 Proper ventilation

 Sufficient warmth

 Control of effluvia (noxious odors)

 Control of noise

 Adequate Light
Major                                   Achieving
Component
                   Fresh air, can be achieved through open
                   windows. Corrupt, stagnant air breeds disease. An
Ventilation        outlet is needed for impure air.
                   Dirty carpets and furniture are a source of
                   impurity in the air.

                   Heat is essential to the patients recovery. Chilling
                   is to be avoided. Hot bottles, bricks, and drinks
Warmth             should be used to restore lost heat.

                   Sewer air is to be avoided, and care is needed to
                   get rid of noxious body odors caused by disease.
Effusive(smells)   Fumigation and disinfectant s should not be used
                   but the offensive substance removed.
Major                      Achieving
Component

              Intermittent sudden noise causes greater
              excitement than continuous noise,
              especially during sleep.
    Noise     The more the patient sleeps peacefully, the
              greater his or her ability to sleep will be.



              Beds should be placed in such a position as
              to allow the patient to see out the window-
      Light   the sky and sunlight.
Nightingale’s Theory & Nursing’s
        Metaparadigm
             Nursing



       Society/Environment
        Human or Individual



          Health/Disease
Nursing

 Nursing is different from medicine and the goal of nursing is
  to place the patient in the best possible condition for nature
  to act.

 Nursing is the "activities that promote health (as outlined in
  canons) which occur in any care giving situation. They can be
  done by anyone.“

 Nursing provide fresh air, light, warmth, cleanliness, quiet,
  and a proper diet.

 Facilitates a patient’s reparative process by ensuring the best
  possible environment & Influences the environment to affect
  health.
ENVIRONMENT

 ENVIRONMENT is The foundational component of Nightingale’s
  theory.

 The external conditions & forces that affect one’s life and
  development Includes everything from a person’s food to a nurse’s
  verbal & nonverbal interactions with the patient.

 Poor or difficult environments led to poor health and disease.

 "Environment could be altered to improve conditions so that the
  natural laws would allow healing to occur."
PERSON

 PERSON Referred to by Nightingale as “the patient”.

 A human being acted upon by a nurse, or affected by
 the environment Has reparative powers to deal with
 disease. Recovery is in the patient’s power as long as a
 safe environment exists

 People are multidimensional, composed of biological,
  psychological, social and spiritual components.
HEALTH
 HEALTH Maintained by using a person’s healing powers to
  their fullest extent.

 It maintained by controlling the environmental factors so as to
  prevent disease.

 Disease is viewed as a reparative process instituted by
  nature.

 Health & disease are the focus of the nurse.


 Health is “not only to be well, but to be able to use well every
  power we have”.
Nightingale's Theory and Nursing
                   Practice
 EDUCATION: Nightingale’s principles of Nursing training provided
  a universal template for early nurse training school beginning with
  St. Thomas Hospital.

 RESEARCH :Nightingale’s interest in scientific inquiry and statistics
  continues to define the scientific inquiry used in nursing research.
  Concepts that Nightingale identified served as the basis of research
  to test modern theories.

 PRACTICE: The environmental aspects of her theory (ventilation,
  warmth, quiet, diet and cleanliness) remain integral components of
  nursing care.
Application of Nightingale’s theory
        in the nursing process

Miss. Samjhana Dahal, age 48 years, has admitted in female medical
ward of Gandaki Medical College & Teaching Hospital, Pokhara for
a diagnosis of fever. She had complaints of fever with headache,
chills, rigor malaise and anorexia. She was in hospital for 5 days.
Her laboratory report shows plenty of WBCs in urine RE and waiting
for blood and urine culture report, chest x-ray shown normal.

  sanitation).

o Risk for injury R/T wet floor.

o Altered nutrition less than body requirement R/T inadequate
  intake of food.

o Altered comfort measures R/T strange, noisy & cold
  environment.
Goal
o A client will be free from infection during hospital stay as evidence
  by normal WBCs range.

o A client will be free from injury as evidence by not slip on the floor.

o A client’s nutrition level will be maintained as evidence by constant
  weight till hospitalization.

o A client will feel comfortable as evidence by absence of noise near
  to the nursing station and increase room temperature.
Intervention

  comfortable and felt asleep.

o She said that she is not feeling cold.

o Her laboratory test result shows normal WBCs and no
  evidence of fever so no risk for infection.
Overview of the Theory


 Florence Nightingale's theory conceived of health care not
  merely as the treatment of disease but the elevation of good
  health and quality of life in general.

 The theory emphasized the environmental aspects of care,
  especially those that nurses could provide, such as
  constructing a clean, sanitary treatment & environment.

 Her conception of care was patient-centered. An important
  tenet of the theory is that the patient should be enabled and
  encouraged to take an active role in his own healing.
Limitations


 The theory's emphasis on environmental measures -- clean air
  and water, drainage, light and warmth.

 It may be effective to an extent but is inherently limited.

 Healthy environmental conditions can only go so far in
  treating disease and illness.

 It says little about the application of medical technology,
  which was rudimentary but nonetheless existent in
  Nightingale's time.
Characteristics
 She focused more on physical factors than on psychological needs
  of patient.

 CRITIQUE SIMPLICITY: Three Major Relationships: A. Environment to
  Patient- Environment was the main factor creating illness in a
  patient B. Nurse to Environment Nurses need to manipulate the
  environment to enhance the patient’s recovery.

 CRITIQUE C: Nurse To Patient: Suggests collaboration and
  cooperation between the nurse and the patient. The protection of
  the patient from emotional distress Conservation of energy while
  allowing the patient to participate in self-care.

 CRITIQUE GENERALITY: Nightingale’s theory has been used to provide
  general guidelines for all nurses. The universality and timelessness
  of her concepts remain pertinent. The relation concepts (nurse,
  patient and environment) are applicable in all nursing settings
  today
Contd…………..
 CRITIQUE EMPIRICAL PRECISION:
  Nightingale’s theory are presented as truths rather than tentative,
  testable statements. She advised nurses that their practice should be
  based on their observation and experiences rather than systematic,
  empirical research.
 CRITIQUE DERIVABLE CONSEQUENCES:
  Deeply religious, she viewed nursing as a means of doing the will of
  God (Nursing is a divine calling). Her encouragement for a measure of
  independence and precision guides and motivates nurses today as
  the profession continues to evolve.

 She emphasized subservience to doctors.
Conclusion
 Florence Nightingale’s Theory is one that
  every nurse should strive to achieve by
  maintaining a healthy environments not
  only for their patients, but also for
  themselves.
 Florence Nightingale provided a
  professional model for nursing
  organization.
 She was the first to use a theoretical
  foundation to nursing.
 Her thoughts have influenced nursing
  significantly.

  • 23. Nightingale’s Theory & Nursing’s Metaparadigm Nursing Society/Environment Human or Individual Health/Disease
  • 24. Nursing  Nursing is different from medicine and the goal of nursing is to place the patient in the best possible condition for nature to act.  Nursing is the "activities that promote health (as outlined in canons) which occur in any care giving situation. They can be done by anyone.“  Nursing provide fresh air, light, warmth, cleanliness, quiet, and a proper diet.  Facilitates a patient’s reparative process by ensuring the best possible environment & Influences the environment to affect health.
  • 25. ENVIRONMENT  ENVIRONMENT is The foundational component of Nightingale’s theory.  The external conditions & forces that affect one’s life and development Includes everything from a person’s food to a nurse’s verbal & nonverbal interactions with the patient.  Poor or difficult environments led to poor health and disease.  "Environment could be altered to improve conditions so that the natural laws would allow healing to occur."
  • 26. PERSON  PERSON Referred to by Nightingale as “the patient”.  A human being acted upon by a nurse, or affected by the environment Has reparative powers to deal with disease. Recovery is in the patient’s power as long as a safe environment exists  People are multidimensional, composed of biological, psychological, social and spiritual components.
  • 27. HEALTH  HEALTH Maintained by using a person’s healing powers to their fullest extent.  It maintained by controlling the environmental factors so as to prevent disease.  Disease is viewed as a reparative process instituted by nature.  Health & disease are the focus of the nurse.  Health is “not only to be well, but to be able to use well every power we have”.
  • 28. Nightingale's Theory and Nursing Practice  EDUCATION: Nightingale’s principles of Nursing training provided a universal template for early nurse training school beginning with St. Thomas Hospital.  RESEARCH :Nightingale’s interest in scientific inquiry and statistics continues to define the scientific inquiry used in nursing research. Concepts that Nightingale identified served as the basis of research to test modern theories.  PRACTICE: The environmental aspects of her theory (ventilation, warmth, quiet, diet and cleanliness) remain integral components of nursing care.
  • 29. Application of Nightingale’s theory in the nursing process Miss. Samjhana Dahal, age 48 years, has admitted in female medical ward of Gandaki Medical College & Teaching Hospital, Pokhara for a diagnosis of fever. She had complaints of fever with headache, chills, rigor malaise and anorexia. She was in hospital for 5 days. Her laboratory report shows plenty of WBCs in urine RE and waiting for blood and urine culture report, chest x-ray shown normal.
  • 30. Assessment 1. Physical Environment: o Presence of enough window & proper ventilation. o Presence of fowl smelly dumping site outside the window. o Having proper light but no direct sun light to the bed. o Well facility for hot water twice a day but without purification. o Ward toilet drainage system is good but presence of food particles and dust in the pan & around the pan.
  • 31. Contd……… o Room environment is clean and ward is swiped frequently. o Presence of water leakage around the sink. o Having only one pieces of biscuits with milk, one full cup of dal and 1 glass of plain water during 6 hours period. o Bed is clean & tidy but presence of food particles and cover of medicines, pieces of papers and dust inside the locker.
  • 32. Contd……. o Cool room temperature. o Pt. covered with 2 blankets but still feeling cold. o Hospital is located centrally near to the main city so there is noises of horn, loudspeakers.
  • 33. Contd….. 2. Psychological Environment o Pt. has never been admitted in hospital before. o Feeling uncomfortable and unable to sleep well. o Pt. felt noise because of presence of nsg. station near to the pt. bed. o She is very active woman and feels her time is wasted since the admission.
  • 34. Contd……. 3. Social Environment o Patient told that her home environment is clean. o They use to drink boiling water. o Her room is small but with enough ventilation and sunlight. o No h/o illness like her in the family or neighborhood.
  • 35. Nursing Diagnosis o Risk for infection R/T unsafe drinking water, dust from locker, dirt from sink and outside of the room(poor environmental sanitation). o Risk for injury R/T wet floor. o Altered nutrition less than body requirement R/T inadequate intake of food. o Altered comfort measures R/T strange, noisy & cold environment.
  • 36. Goal o A client will be free from infection during hospital stay as evidence by normal WBCs range. o A client will be free from injury as evidence by not slip on the floor. o A client’s nutrition level will be maintained as evidence by constant weight till hospitalization. o A client will feel comfortable as evidence by absence of noise near to the nursing station and increase room temperature.
  • 37. Intervention o Provide purified & boiling water for drinking according to patient demand. o Clean the locker routinely and keep all medicines in small paper box or medicine bag. o Inform to the Incharge for maintenance of sink, waste disposal. o Keep the surrounding clean. o Provide adequate diet by encouraging small frequent and nutritious feeding.
  • 38. Contd…… o Maintain temperature by proper dress up and provide extra blanket. o Dispose waste properly. o Keep the patient in calm and comfortable position and avoid unnecessary stimulation, noise. o Provide sufficient support and advice related to disease process, diet therapy.
  • 39. Evaluation o She told that she is getting boiled and purified water o She said that she has no vomiting & loose motion. o She has gained a weight and no feeling of weakness and increased appetite. o Locker is cleaned and no presence of dust around the sink.
  • 40. Contd……. o Bed seems to be cleaned, absence of dust, piece of papers, medicines. o Absence of crowd near to the nursing station so she felt comfortable and felt asleep. o She said that she is not feeling cold. o Her laboratory test result shows normal WBCs and no evidence of fever so no risk for infection.
  • 41. Overview of the Theory  Florence Nightingale's theory conceived of health care not merely as the treatment of disease but the elevation of good health and quality of life in general.  The theory emphasized the environmental aspects of care, especially those that nurses could provide, such as constructing a clean, sanitary treatment & environment.  Her conception of care was patient-centered. An important tenet of the theory is that the patient should be enabled and encouraged to take an active role in his own healing.
  • 42. Limitations  The theory's emphasis on environmental measures -- clean air and water, drainage, light and warmth.  It may be effective to an extent but is inherently limited.  Healthy environmental conditions can only go so far in treating disease and illness.  It says little about the application of medical technology, which was rudimentary but nonetheless existent in Nightingale's time.
  • 43. Characteristics  She focused more on physical factors than on psychological needs of patient.  CRITIQUE SIMPLICITY: Three Major Relationships: A. Environment to Patient- Environment was the main factor creating illness in a patient B. Nurse to Environment Nurses need to manipulate the environment to enhance the patient’s recovery.  CRITIQUE C: Nurse To Patient: Suggests collaboration and cooperation between the nurse and the patient. The protection of the patient from emotional distress Conservation of energy while allowing the patient to participate in self-care.  CRITIQUE GENERALITY: Nightingale’s theory has been used to provide general guidelines for all nurses. The universality and timelessness of her concepts remain pertinent. The relation concepts (nurse, patient and environment) are applicable in all nursing settings today
  • 44. Contd…………..  CRITIQUE EMPIRICAL PRECISION: Nightingale’s theory are presented as truths rather than tentative, testable statements. She advised nurses that their practice should be based on their observation and experiences rather than systematic, empirical research.  CRITIQUE DERIVABLE CONSEQUENCES: Deeply religious, she viewed nursing as a means of doing the will of God (Nursing is a divine calling). Her encouragement for a measure of independence and precision guides and motivates nurses today as the profession continues to evolve.  She emphasized subservience to doctors.
  • 45. Conclusion  Florence Nightingale’s Theory is one that every nurse should strive to achieve by maintaining a healthy environments not only for their patients, but also for themselves.  Florence Nightingale provided a professional model for nursing organization.  She was the first to use a theoretical foundation to nursing.  Her thoughts have influenced nursing significantly.
