Pugh In this second edition of a book for beginning nurses, the author clearly defines nine commonly cited nursing models and presents easy-to-use applications for seven of the models. The text includes a background about models in general and common characteristics of nursing models. The models defined are activities of daily living (Roper et al, 1976, 1980); self care (Orem, 1971, 1980, 1985, 1991); adaptation (Roy, 1976, 1984); health care systems (Neuman,1982); goal attainment (King, 1971, 1981); developmental (Peplau, 1952, 1988), humanistic (Patterson & Zderad, 1976); human becoming (Parse, 1992); and human science and human caring (Watson, 1979, 1988). Most of the descriptions include a definition, beliefs and values, goals, knowledge, and skills for practice, care planning, and a patient care study. The purpose of the book is to meet the needs of patients who require nursing services. The emphasis is on care planning based on the use of a nursing model. The audience is primarily undergraduate nursing students. However, nursing service departments could use the approaches outlined with little difficulty. The book is readable, and the illustrations are usually light-hearted attempts to make the text understandable. This book offers important foundational information for beginning nurses. It describes an excellent method of applying a theoretical model consistently in a practice situation. Practical examples using selected models are presented that the reader may actually use.
