“…However, Orlando's major work (Orlando 1961) contains no bibliographic references. Forchuk (1991) notes theoretical similarities in the work of Peplau and Orlando. The relationship between nurse and client is the focus of both theorists' work.…”

“…The relationship between nurse and client is the focus of both theorists' work. However, where Peplau envisages a long‐term relationship, Orlando's focus is on the immediate needs of the client (Forchuk 1991). Another theorist, Travelbee (1971), uses the terms ‘human‐to‐human’ relationship and ‘nurse–patient interaction’ to characterize nursing.…”

The therapeutic relationship: historical development and contemporary significance

The therapeutic relationship is a concept held by many to be fundamental to the identity of mental health nurses. While the therapeutic relationship was given formal expression in nursing theory in the middle of the last century, its origins can be traced to attendants' interpersonal practices in the asylum era. The dominance of medical understandings of mental distress, and the working-class status of asylum attendants, prevented the development of an account of mental health nursing based on attendants' relationships with asylum inmates. It was left to Peplau and other nursing theorists to describe mental health nursing as a therapeutic relationship in the 1940s and later. Some distinctive features of colonial life in New Zealand suggest that the ideal of the attendant as the embodiment of bourgeoisie values seems particularly unlikely to have been realized in the New Zealand context. However, New Zealand literature from the 20th century shows that the therapeutic relationship, as part of a general development of a therapeutic discourse, came to assume a central place in conceptualizations of mental health nursing. While the therapeutic relationship is not by itself a sufficient basis for professional continuity, it continues to play a fundamental role in mental health nurses' professional identity. The way in which the therapeutic relationship is articulated in the future will determine the meaning of the therapeutic relationship for future generations of mental health nurses.

“…Around the middle of this century, many American nursing theorists, including Peplau, became acquainted with phenomenological ideas through the work of humanistic psychologists ( Reich 1995). For certain aspects of her work, Peplau (1952, 1988, 1989g, 1992b) drew on the ideas of Abraham Maslow ( 1943, 1954), Rollo May (1950) and Carl Rogers (1942) ( Forchuk 1991, Jones 1996). The American clinical psychologist Carl Rogers had quite early translated the most important phenomenological ideas and applied them in therapeutic contexts.…”

Interpersonal relations in nursing: a philosophical‐ethical analysis of the work of Hildegard E. Peplau

Nursing typically has been viewed as a moral practice, for instance by new developments in the ethics of care. Nevertheless, many philosophical-ethical presuppositions of nursing theories remain to be clarified. This paper presents a philosophical-ethical analysis of the work of Hildegard E. Peplau. Analysis of the philosophical-ethical background of Peplau's works illuminates a view on nursing practice that is relevant today. Three main components are analysed more deeply, i.e. the professionalization of nursing, the philosophical underpinnings of Peplau's view on nursing science, and the nurse-patient relationship as the central event in nursing.

“…Orlando's writings focus on the nurse, whom she believes is “the basic operating unit of the nursing system.” 2 She describes the professional nurse as an autonomous, interpersonal agent who forms helping relationships with patients, other nurses, or other disciplines for problem resolution. Orlando's theory contains five major interlinking concepts: the function of professional nursing, the patient's presenting behavior, the immediate reaction (ie, internal response) of the nurse, the nursing process discipline, and patient improvement 3 …”

An Interactionist's Approach to Perioperative Nursing

Most nurse-patient interactions in the OR are of short duration; therefore, formulating appropriate care plans for accurate patient assessments is paramount. Observations of a patient's behavior without a deliberative exploration to disclose the behavioral meanings can lead to erroneous nursing diagnoses and interventions. A perioperative nurse who uses the theoretical approach developed by Ida Jean Orlando, RN, MA, will be able to identify the patient's covert needs, thereby providing timely, therapeutic nursing interventions. The article presents a perioperative clinical situation analyzed through Orlando's interactional framework, demonstrating the theory's beneficial impact on patient outcomes.
