NR 501 Wk 5 Discussion Analysis & Application of a Nursing Model
Dr. Drake & class,
For this week’s analysis and application of a nursing model discussion assignment, I have
chosen the Person-Centered Nursing Framework. McCormack and McCance developed this
model originally in 2006 as a response to the changes in healthcare practices from a treatment
driven plans to a more holistic approach (McCormack & McCance, 2017). The person-centered
model addresses the patient as a human in its entirety not just as a diagnosis with therapeutic
relationships between all care providers, patients and their support systems at the core . Through
this model, plans of care includes the patient, family, and the community along with the
healthcare team. The focus is on healthcare being relationship-oriented and includes all
relationships and contexts within the health-care environment. The framework identified four
components to include prerequisites for the nurse, the care environment in which care is
delivered, person-centered processes that focus on a range of activities related to the care
delivered, and outcomes which is the central component (McCormack & McCance, 2017). The
model was updated in 2010 with the physical environment added to the care environment and
holistic care being the focus as opposed to care that is medically dominated and disease oriented
care practices (McCance, McCormack, Gribben, & Laird, 2013).
According to McCormack, there are four core concepts for person-centered nursing care
to be effective; being in relation, being in place, being in a social world, and being with
self (McCormack & McCance, 2017). When used as a framework for developing care practices,
the model leads to further empirical testing, autonomy by the nurses, and increased customer
satisfaction. It has been widely recognized throughout the healthcare industry, not just in nursing
arenas. Applying the person-centered model into care practices requires the organization to
