THE NEUMAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS MODEL

THE NEUMAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS MODEL

The Neuman (1994, 1980) Health Care Systems Model is derived theoretically from Gestalt theory, general systems theory, Hans Selye's theory of stress, the holistic systems concept of Bernard Marx, Pierre Teilhard deChardin's philosophy of the wholeness of life, and Gerald Caplan's conceptual models of levels of prevention (Harris, Hermiz, Meininger, & Steinkeler, 1994).

There are 21 major concepts in the Neuman (1994, 1980) Health Care Systems Model. These concepts are (1) a holistic approach to the client, (2) a holistic view of the client, (3) an open systems approach, (4) environmentùboth internal and external, (5) interaction of human and environment, (6) a survival structure, (7) a process of interaction of matter, energy, and information, (8) system input and output, (9) system feedback, (10) negentropyùenergy absorption, (11) entropyùenergy depletion, (12) stability, (13) reaction to stress, (14) wellness, (15) illness, (16) the system's normal line of defense, (17) the system's flexible lines of defense, (18) the system's lines of resistance, (19) the systems degree of reaction, (20) the concept of prevention as intervention, and (21) reconstitution.

These concepts are an holistic approach to the client, a holistic view of the client, an open systems approach, environmentùboth internal and external, interaction of human and environment, a survival structure, a process of interaction of matter, energy, and information, system input and output, system feedback, negentropyùenergy absorption, entropyùenergy depletion, stability, reaction to stress, wellness, illness, the system's normal line of defense, the system's flexible lines of defense, the system's lines of resistance, the systems degree of reaction, the concept of prevention as intervention, and reconstitution.

A holistic approach to the client means that all needs of the client must be addressed as an interactive sys...
