Professional Background
Dr.
King began her academic career at St. Louis University, spent
several years at Loyola University in Chicago, and then went to the
University of South Florida, where she is now professor
emeritus.
Imogene King's model is a
model of three interacting systems:
personal, interpersonal, and social. In her theory of goal
attainment, she states that client goals are met
through the transaction between nurse and client. The model can be
applied to all settings. Her
ideas were influenced by systems theory
(von Bertalanffy) and interaction theory. Her model is based on systems theory but has also
been classified as an interaction model.
King
describes her model as a conceptual system and the goal of nursing
as bringing a person closer to a healthy state (King, 1997,
2001). The conceptual system has three interacting systems,
the personal, the interpersonal, and the social. The nurse and
the person interact toward a goal. The end-point of this
interaction, which occurs over time, is transaction, at which the
person's goal is met.
