A personal philosophy and model of nursing.
Understanding the relationships and conflicts between nursing professionals, their health care clients, wellness, and the environment is a major component of any nursing philosophy. This understanding is a fundamental element in The Brown Human Cell Model, a personal philosophy of nursing. The objectives of this model are to assist in obtaining a clearer understanding of the conflicts the nursing professional will encounter with the health care clients, their wellness, and environment. Nursing, client, wellness, and environment are defined according to the personal attitudes, behavior, beliefs, and values of the author. Many factors and essential components were borrowed from other nursing theories in forming this philosophy and model. The model is a replica of a human cell, significant in defining how nursing, client, wellness, and environment relate to a continuum of health.
