Health Promotion and disease prevention is a familiar nursing refrain. In the early part of the twentieth century, prior to any identified nursing theoretical frameworks, Virginia Henderson wrote her definition of nursing: the unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible. ( Known as the First Lady of Nursing, Henderson identified for us the key concepts of health promotion and disease prevention: assistance, individuality, promotion of independence and individuality and a lifespan approach which is alluded to when mentioning sick or well and death. This definition is a classic and one often referenced and ingrained into all nursing programs and skills perfected. How do we, ...

Henderson defined nursing in functional terms: "The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to a peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible." Tomey, A. M., & Alligood, M. R. (1998). Nursing theorists and their work(p. 102). Mosby. Alexander, J.

The Nursing Need Theory was developed by Virginia Henderson and was derived from her practice and education. Henderson’s goal was not to develop a theory of nursing, but rather to define the unique focus of nursing practice. When did Virginia Henderson developed her theory? In 1969, Henderson published Basic Principles of Nursing Care at the age of 72—a book derived from her earlier essay of the same name commissioned by the International Council of Nurses. She revised that edition several years later, incorporating the contributions of other nurse pioneers. When was the need theory developed? This model was developed in the 1960s, two decades after Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was first proposed in the early 1940s. McClelland stated that we all have these three types of motivation regardless of age, sex, race, or culture. What are the 14 basic needs according to Henderson? The 14 Basic Human Needs: • Breathe normally. • Eat and drink adequately. • Eliminate body wastes. • Move and maintain desirable postures. • Sleep and rest. • Select suitable clothes-dress and undress. • Maintain body temperature within normal range by adjusting clothing and modifying environment. What level of theory is Virginia Henderson? Henderson’s work is considered a nursing theory because it contains a definition of nursing, a nurse’s role and function, and basic needs of nursing care. She focuses on patient care to help patients reach a level of independence and supports her definition with the 1...
