Patricia Benner
Patricia Benner was interested
in the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition and applied it to nursing.
Her area of concern was not how to do nursing but, rather, "how do nurses learn to do nursing?"
She worked for several
years in intensive care, then became a nurse researcher at the University
of California at San Francisco,
where she studied the nature of nursing practice and how nurses
gain expertise. She published From Novice
to Expert in 1984 and became a Fellow in the American Academy of
Nursing in 1985. She studied with Richard Lazarus, a social
psychologist who developed a phenomenological theory of stress and coping.
She was also influenced by Heidegger, who stressed
phenomenological descriptions of people, defined by their
concerns, practices, and life experiences. In other words,
the knowledge embodied in the practical world is important for the
development of the nurse's skills and ability to care.

Short
biography
Margaret
Newman
Margaret
Newman's theory is one of the more esoteric and fascinating nursing
theories. She defines health as "expanding
consciousness," or increasing complexity. The nurses role
is to recognize the person's unique pattern of life and to work
within that pattern with the person to achieve the person's
goals. Newman has worked with the North American Nursing
Diagnosis Association and considers nursing diagnoses to be tools
to understand the person's pattern.

Hodges'
Health Career Model - Provides a
conceptual framework upon which health care professionals can
map a patient’s care problems, across four knowledge domains:
Interpersonal; Sociological; Scientific; & Political
(Autonomy). Patients and their carers may also use the
model, enabling engagement, understanding and concordance in
care planning and outcome evaluation ... Brian
Hodges' original notes, a resources page and links (800+) are
included. Additional material on health informatics and the
potential role of visualization in care assessment and
evaluation can also be found. Referenced throughout.
