  1. Theoretic Basis of Nursing Practice Chapter 7

  2. Biologic Theories • General Adaptation Syndrome - Selye • Linked stressful events and illness • Some support, but not specific enough • Diathesis-Stress Model • Genetic vulnerability and environmental stressors • “A Diathesis” , a constitutional predisposition towards a disorder must be challenged by a stressor

  3. Psychodynamic Theories:Psychoanalytic • Sigmund Freud - founder • Study of unconscious • Personality and its development • Ego, id and superego • Sexuality is an end product of a complex process. • Psychoanalysis • A therapeutic process of accessing the unconscious and resolving conflicts that originated in childhood • Not effective treatment for mental disorders, but respected for enhancing maturity and growth

  4. Neo-Freudian Models • Adler – Individual Psychology • Inferiority • Birth order • Jung – Analytical Psychology • Extroverted vs. introverted • Horney – Feminine Psychology • Rejected “penis envy” • Rejected “oedipal complex”

  5. Other Psychodynamic Theories • Sullivan - Interpersonal relations • Great influence on psychiatric nursing • Interaction patterns and parataxic distortions

  6. Humanistic/ ExistentialTheories • Roger’s Client-centered Theory • Frederik Perls/Gestalt Theory • Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs • Albert Ellis/ Rational Emotive Therapy

  7. Applicability to Nursing: Psychodynamic Theories • Defense mechanisms • Now coping mechanisms in DSM-IV (explained in Chapter 10) • Transference and countertransference • Object relations and identification • Empathy • Levels of consciousness • awareness • unconscious

  8. Behavioral Theories • Stimulus-response Theories • Pavlov and his dog • Behaviorism and John B. Watson • Reinforcement Theories • Edward L. Thorndike and “stamping in” • B.F. Skinner and operant conditioning • Cognitive Theories • Bandura’s social cognitive theory and modeling, self-efficacy • Aaron Beck - thinking and feeling

  9. Applicability of Behavior Theories to PMHN • Wide-spread use of behavioral theories in practice • Patient education interventions • Changing an entrenched habit • Privilege systems and token economies

  10. Developmental Theories • Erik Erikson – Psychosocial development • Jean Piaget – Learning in children • Moral Development • Kohlberg • Carol Gilligan – Gender differentiation (attachment important for female identity)

  11. Applicability of Developmental Theories to PMHN • Research on models is ongoing. • Evidence suggests that girls do not follow a staged developmental path. • There are gender and cultural differences in development.

  12. Social Theorists • Social conditions are largely responsible for deviant behavior • Deviance is culturally defined • Social conditions can “pre-dispose” a person to mental illness.

  13. Social Theories:FamilyDynamics • Family dynamics: patterned interpersonal and social interactions • Interactional view: Bateson • Problem-solving approach: Haley • Multigenerational system: Bowen • Structural family theory - Minuchin • Applicability of family theories to PMHN • Assessment of family dynamics • Planning interventions for families

  14. Social Theories:Social Distance • Balance theory: A balance is maintained between formal and informal support system (Litvak,1966). • Formal support systems: large organizations (hospital , etc.) • Informal support systems: family, friends, neighbors • Individuals with strong informal support networks live longer than those without that type of support. • Social distance: • Degree to which values formal organization and primary group members differ • When formal and informal systems begin performing the same function, the formal system increases social distance. • Applicability: • Practical model for understanding relationship between formal and informal systems

  15. Other Social Theories • Role Theories • Explains individual’s social position and function within the environment • Applies role concepts in understanding group interaction and role of patient within family and community. • Sociocultural Perspectives • Culture and gender – Mead • Transcultural health care – Leininger • Uses theories as a basis for assessing and intervening within social domain

  16. Medical Model • All mental processes derive from operations of the brain, and deviant behavior is a symptom of a brain disorder • Genes and combinations of genes exert significant control over behavior. • Physician as “healer” prescribes the plan
