The theory of self-care of chronic illness was developed by Barbara Riegel. It is based on three key concepts of self-care: maintaining health, monitoring changes, and managing symptoms. Clarifying this cognitive-behavioral process allows the health professional to support this process in partnership with the individual, so that he or she is able to maintain a stable state of health. ]]>

The work of professionals inspired by the “human care” approach is fundamentally grounded in the humanist values of the caregiver-patient relationship and is characterized by an unwavering respect for the human integrity of the individual and their well-being.
The present study adopts a pragmatic approach with the objective of elucidating the essential components of Swanson’s theory of caring through reflective practice in a clinical context of heart failure. As per Swanson’s five caring processes, the nurse’s actions will be guided by the following principles: understanding the patient’s needs and fears (“knowing”), offering an emotional presence (“being with”), coordinating the patient’s return home (“doing for”), and supporting her autonomy while mobilizing her family’s resources (“enabling”). These interventions are rooted in trust in Mrs B’s ability to overcome these challenges (“maintaining belief”). Initially applied in perinatal services, this humanistic and relational approach to care is now practiced by nurses in various clinical departments. ]]>

Hildegard Peplau has contributed to nursing as a clinical expert, teacher, author, leader, and theorist. Her theoretical and clinical work led to the development of a specialized field of psychiatric nursing. The descriptive theory of interpersonal relations proposes a therapeutic process that promotes personal development. The interpersonal relations process is a continuum divided into 4 interlocking phases. Throughout the care episode, the nurse and the patient adopt different roles, eventually arriving at shared goals and a common understanding of the situation. Her theory of interpersonal relations in nursing can be used in all areas of practice. Peplau’s theory of interpersonal relations has stood the test of time, and is still as relevant and useful today in practice as it is in research. ]]>

In the evolving landscape of nursing care, postoperative pain management remains a relevant issue. This article aims to explore the application of chronotherapy in acute pain treatment, as conceptualized by Auvil-Novak’s theory of chronotherapeutic intervention for postsurgical pain. Using a clinical situation as a starting point, this article offers a novel perspective on a temporal approach to analgesic administration. This approach illustrates the importance of theory-based nursing practice, demonstrating how the integration of nursing theories can enrich clinical reflection and open up new perspectives for improving the quality of postoperative care. ]]>

This article describes the theory of a peaceful end of life. This nursing theory was developed by Cornelia Ruland and Shirley Moore (1999) in their model of palliative care, which emphasizes the importance of quality of life at the end of life, while seeking to reduce suffering and promote a dignified and peaceful death. Their model is based on a holistic and personalized approach to care, taking into account the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of the person at the end of life. ]]>

The objective of this article is to present the theory of power as knowing participation in change, developed by Elizabeth Ann Manhart Barrett. This theory is inspired by Martha Rogers’ model of the unitary human being, which views individuals as open systems, integrated with their environment and constantly interacting and evolving. For Barrett, power is the ability to consciously and intentionally participate in processes of change, manifested through awareness of possibilities and choices, the ability to make informed decisions, the freedom to act, and active involvement in transformations. Barrett’s theory of power is used in nursing research and practice, providing a framework to promote personal and professional empowerment and to encourage more active and conscious participation in changes within various health care contexts. ]]>

In this article, after a brief biography of Afaf Ibrahim Meleis, we will describe the main elements of her transitions theory. After presenting its theoretical underpinnings, as well as its main concepts and postulates, we will discuss the theory’s aims and possible applications from both a pedagogical and a societal point of view. Using three examples of practical applications, we will argue how this theory is both a method and a process of reflection within and about nursing care. ]]>
