“…It is acknowledged that ETS contains many harmful compounds, however, only these two will be considered. The Neuman systems model is appropriate to frame nursing practice and research related to the physiological response of an infant to exposure to ETS for the following reasons: (a) The goal is to identify a client's stressors or variance from wellness; (b) it is based on the relationships between environmental stressors and a client's responses to stressors; (c) the goal of nursing care within this framework is the retention, attainment, or maintenance of optimal client wellness; and (d) it is based upon prevention as intervention (Fawcett et al, 1992;Neuman, 2002b).…”

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how Neuman's systems model can be applied to nursing practice and research through the examination of the problem of infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. By operationalizing Neuman's framework, it was possible to develop a research-based theory investigating the interaction between the infant's physiological variable and the environment. A nursing process tool and theoretical model developed from Neuman's framework are utilized to examine the problem. Further theory development could identify relationships among Neuman's other variables and create a theoretical basis for providing holistic nursing care to infants exposed to environmental tobacco smoke.

“…In the particular case of intensive care units, similarly to other contexts, it is recognized that the use of conceptual nursing models makes it possible to differentiate clinical nursing practice from other health professions [7]. Apart from this, the implementation of a nursing model in these environments has potential benefits to patient care and has both educational and research value [8].…”

Introduction. Intensive care units are systems organized for the provision of care to patients in critical situations. In general, it is suggested that intensive care consists of a multidisciplinary and interprofessional specialty. Nevertheless, the predominance, relative to the professions that incorporate these units, falls on nurses. A conceptual model of nursing provides a framework for reflection, observation, and interpretation of phenomena and, specifically, it provides guidelines and guidance for aspects of clinical practice. Objective. To understand the applicability of conceptual models of nursing in intensive care units. Method. Review of the literature following the Scoping Review protocol of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The research was performed in CINAHL, Cochrane, Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify studies published prior to 2021. Fourteen studies were selected. Results. There is no conceptual model of nursing universally accepted as ideal for intensive care units. However, there is unanimity in the identification of several benefits associated with the application of a conceptual model of nursing in the care of critically ill patients. Conclusion. For the selection of a conceptual model of nursing for these contexts, the focus should be on the person and the choice should fall on the model that is most appropriate to the patient, and not on the philosophy that supports the model. Considering the nature of care, the nursing team can select a model or a combination of models.

“…Orem's self-care deficit nursing theory (SCDNT) [1] is widely used and accepted by nurses [2] and is one of the most frequently used theories in general nursing practice [3]. Several authors suggest its application in coronary care nursing [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Using critical analysis [9], this paper aims to examine the potential of SCDNT [1] to meet the needs of patients in coronary care settings.…”

This paper highlights the potential contribution the application of the self-care deficit nursing theory to the coronary care setting from a philosophical and practical perspective. Orem's conceptual model of nursing and current practice in coronary care units share certain similarities that render a useful model for use in practice. However, while it is recommended for consideration for use in both practice and educational settings, further empirical work is required in the area, together with realistic and practical application of the theory to practice in a way that embraces contemporary notions.
