Erickson, along with Evelyn M. Tomlin and Mary Ann P. Swain. It was first published in their book, Modeling and Role Modeling: A Theory and Paradigm for Nursing, which was published in 1983. The Modeling and Role Modeling Theory draws on concepts from Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, Maslow’s Theory of Hierarchy of Needs, Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Stages, and Selye and Lazarus’s General Adaptation Syndrome. Theory Erickson’s theory helps nurses care for their patients by recognizing each individual's uniqueness, and focusing on the individual patient’s needs. It is also a self-care method of nursing, which means it is based on the patient’s perceptions of the environment, and adapts based on individual stressors for that patient. The Modeling and Role Modeling Theory of nursing helps the nurse to do this by explaining some of the similarities and differences among patients. Theory Modeling and Role-Modeling Modeling: ▪ Recognizes that each patient has a unique perspective of his or her world ▪ Modeling is a process that enables a nurse to understand that unique perspective and learn to appreciate its importance to the patient. ▪ The nurse uses the process of modeling to understand the world from the patient’s perspective. Theory Modeling and Role-Modeling Role-Modeling: ▪ Role modeling accepts each patient regardless of his or her perspective on the world, and cares for the patient in order to work toward health. ▪ According to the nursing theory, the patient is the expert in his or her own care, and knows best in how he or she should be cared for to get back to health. 4 METAPARDIGM NURSING ❑ The roles of nursing are facilitation, nurturance, and unconditional acceptance ❑ 5 goals of Nursing Intervention
