Pflegemodellen

Pflegemodelle, also known as nursing models or nursing theories, are conceptual frameworks that provide a systematic way of understanding and organizing nursing care. They offer a perspective on the client, health, environment, and the nursing process itself. These models guide nurses in assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation of patient care.

Different Pflegemodelle emphasize various aspects of nursing. Some, like Henderson's Need Theory, focus on the patient's basic needs and aim to help the patient regain independence. Others, such as Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory, highlight the patient's ability to perform self-care and the nurse's role in supporting or compensating for deficits. Roy's Adaptation Model views the client as an adaptive system and the nurse's role as fostering adaptation.

The development and application of Pflegemodelle are crucial for professionalizing nursing. They provide a common language and a shared understanding among nurses, promoting consistency and quality in care delivery. By offering a theoretical basis, these models help nurses to think critically, make informed decisions, and justify their actions. They also serve as a foundation for nursing research, education, and the development of evidence-based practice. The choice of a particular Pflegemodell can influence the approach to care, the nurse-patient relationship, and the overall outcomes for the patient.
