“…This will ultimately improve the quality of patient care (5,6). Applying evidence-based nursing skills in clinical settings to assist nursing students and nurses in identifying existing issues and enhancing nurses' critical thinking and professional ability is unavoidable (7,8). The study was based on Johnson's behavioral model, a care plan for a middle-aged woman suffering from wrist hematoma and its complications.…”

BACKGROUND Nurses can diagnose patients' problems using Johnson's pattern of behavior. This model is applicable and nurses can design and implement patient-based care in a clinical setting based on this model. This study was designed to use Johnson's behavioral model in the care of a middle-aged woman suffering from pain, edema and severe left wrist hematoma. Methods This study was conducted with the aim of determine the nursing care plan based on Johnson's behavioral model in patient with wrist joint hematoma in Iran since December 27, 2019 to January 4, 2020, on a case referred to Poursina Hospital in Rasht, Guilan Province, Iran. After assessing the patient, we propound seven main nursing diagnoses and planned them in 9 days according to the model. Results After evaluating the patient, the care program was implemented based on Johnson's behavioral model. We achieved caring goals after the intervention. Her appetite and sleep were better, and she became aware of the side effects of her lack of diet and care. She made more efforts to self-care. By using Johnson's care system after 9 days of inpatient care, she has improved her sense of independence, range of motion, self-esteem, sleep quality, increased desire for food, improved excretion and constipation, and we adjusted to reduce libido and use complementary therapies to improve it. Conclusion This model can be used as a general framework in the hospital to diagnose problems, evaluate and design a care program.

“…At its heart, this previously discussed theoretical disconnect is a symptom of nursing's difficulty with expressing the nature of who we are, or in other words, our “being.” The intersection between the theoretical ideas that drive and influence our practice, and the day‐to‐day physical realities of our practice, is often difficult to reconcile (El Hussein & Osuji, ). For this reason, the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, as outlined in his writing titled Building, Dwelling, Thinking () is proposed as a mechanism to bridge the disconnect represented by the theory–practice gap in nursing.…”

Nursing has a considerable history of theory development but has consistently struggled to reconcile theoretical reality and practice realities. Many authors have attempted to reconcile what has been called the “theory–practice gap,” but the space where these two realities enmesh has remained problematic and contentious (Aimei, Macau Journal of Nursing, 14, 2015, 13; Factor, Matienzo, & de Guzman, Nurse Education Today, 57, 2017, 82). The idea of the theory–practice gap has a significant history in nursing, but also continues to have a significant presence within nursing literature and mythology up to the present (Aimei, Macau Journal of Nursing, 14, 2015, 13). In this paper, the space between theoretic reality and practice reality, as evidenced by the theory–practice gap, will be examined. A Heideggerian perspective of “dwelling” (Heidegger, 1971, Poetry, language, thought, New York, NY: Harper Colophon) will be used as a guiding discourse to move nursing away from this classic tension between theory and practice, towards a perspective where theory and practice are woven together as part of one reality.

“…Instead of resolving the issue, nurses are ignoring its application. Due to this reason conundrum of gap between theory and practice is growing 8,6 . Idress S 2014 7 highlighted the same issue that in this competitive and challenging era the main difficulty nurses are facing is the application of theoretical concepts into practice.…”
