DIFFERENT VIEWS OF NON-NURSING THEORIES
Systems are difficult to define but at its most fundamental, a system is “an ordered,
interrelated set of items linked by flows of energy and matter as distinct from their
surrounding environment.” Thus, most systems are composed of sub-systems, which
operate and interact in a (more-or-less) coherent way and make the larger system
separate from the environment in which it operates.
An important distinction between types of systems is the open system versus the
closed system. Closed systems gain no energy or mass from beyond the system
boundaries. Open Systems may get energy and/or mass from the surrounding
environment. Note that some systems, like the earth, have elements of both open and
closed systems. The earth receives energy from beyond the earth system, the sun,
and it returns energy to space after it has driven processes on the earth. So the earth
is an open system with respect to transfers of energy. Sometimes this is called an
energy cascade. However, the earth does not gain mass from space, nor does it send
mass to space (not usually anyway). Thus, the earth acts as a closed system with
respect to transfers of mass.
One curious and interesting attribute of many systems is that they are self regulating.
This is also known as homeostasis. The interaction of the sub-systems within the
larger system is governed by feedback loops. As the system operates, it generates
outputs that influence its own operations. These outputs represent a kind of
“information” that is sent or returned to various points in the system via pathways
called feedback loops. Feedback information can control (or guide) subsequent
system operations through positive and negative feedbacks. If feedback information
encourages increased response in the system, it is called positive feedback. The rate
of change accelerates causing even more change. Further production in the system
stimulates growth of the system. Unchecked positive feedback in a system can create
a runaway (“Snowballing”) condition. In natural systems, such unchecked growth will
reach a critical limit, leading to instability and disintegration. However most systems
maintain their structure and character over time. If the flows of energy and material
through the system remain balanced over time, it is called a steady state system.
More often systems will show a trend in increasing outputs for a time and then
decreasing outputs for a time. However, the ups balance the downs and the system
continues to operate. This can only occur through negative feedback that dampens
out the change that has started. Some negative feedbacks operate immediately,
others take longer to have an effect. The speed with which negative feedbacks
operate, determines how much the system fluctuates around an average value. A
system exhibiting such dynamic equilibrium fluctuates more than a steady state
system. Most systems resist abrupt change. However the system may reach a
threshold at which it can no longer maintain its character, so it lurches to a new
operational level. This abrupt change places the system in a metastable equlibrium.
Types of Systems
A model is a simplifed, idealized representation of some part (or system) of the real
world. The model makes the system easier to understand. Adjusting one variable in
the model produces a system response and allows prediction of possible changes in
outputs. Models are designed with varying degrees of abstraction. Types of models
range from conceptual to physical, to computer (mathematical) models. To understand
system models, one must first understand various types of systems.
There are many different types of systems , and ther are many different ways to model
them. We are going to apply systems theory to river systems. Rivers are prominent
features on the landscape, and, therefore on maps. They are not only agents of
erosion, but also the means by which the product of erosion (sediment) is carried off
and deposited elsewhere. River systems are very dynamic. Sometimes they carry
tremendous amounts of water, other times they are almost dry. They are linked as
networks. Two or three rivers join to make a larger river and so on. A river system
may be thought of as several types of systems.
Cascading Systems. In these systems, the subsystems are functionally linked so that
the output of one becomes the input for another. The flow or progression of mass and
energy through several subsystems is known as a cascade. Rivers are classic open,
cascading systems.
Process Response Systems. The focus here is on the total dynamics of the system
not simply the flow. Both mass (water and sediment) and energy (moving water) flow
downward through the system. However these flows vary tremendously and the
response will be different in different river systems or in streams of different age. How
large are the flows of mass and energy and when? What is the system response to
high flow or low flow? In the context of river systems, a mature river will be in a graded
condition. This means the river has attained an equilibrium with the amounts of water
and sediments typically supplied to it. A young river is attempting to attain grade
through the erosional process and will have a different response than a mature river.
The young river also has a steeper slope/profile and different morphological
measures.
Intelligent Systems. This is where the people who came up with systems theory really
blew it. Their idea was that any system that is (largely) under human-control would be
called an intelligent system because human intelligence directed the dynamics and
outcome. However, in the context of river system, some control is more intelligent
than others. Building dams for flood mitigation might be viewed as good and therefore
intelligent. However, stripping the land of vegetation, so that floods occur more often
and the soil is eroded away more quickly is not exactly an intelligent thing to do. Both
are a result of human intelligence (well, at least human activity), but that does not
mean the result is good. Nevertheless, many river systems, especially in modern,
developed countries can be viewed as an intelligently controlled cascading, process-
response systems.
Change theories are used in nursing to bring about planned change. Planned
change involves, recognizing a problem and creating a plan to address it. There are
various change theories that can be applied to change projects in nursing. Choosing
the right change theory is important as all change theories do not fit every change
project. Some change theories used in nursing are Lewin’s, Lippitt’s, and Havelock’s
theories of change.
The change theory by Kurt Lewin is widely used in nursing and involves three
stages. The first stage in Lewin's change theory is the unfreezing stage. In this stage,
the need for change is recognized, the process of creating awareness for change is
begun and acceptance of the proposed change is developed. The second stage is
moving, during which the need for change is accepted and implemented. The third
stage is refreezing and during this stage, the new change is made permanent. Lewin's
theory depends on the presence of a driving and resistant force. The driving force are
facilitators of change and the change agents who are pushing employees in the
direction of change. The resistant forces are the employees or nurses who do not
want the proposed change. For this theory to be successful, the driving force has to
dominate the resistant force.
Havelock's change theory has six stages and is a modification of the Lewin's
theory of change. The six stages are building a relationship, diagnosing the problem,
gathering resources, choosing the solution, gaining acceptance and self renewal. In
this theory, there is a lot of information gathering in the initial stages of change during
which staff nurses may realize the need for change and be willing to accept any
changes that are implemented. The first three stages are described by Lewin's
unfreezing stage the next two by his moving stage and the last by the freezing stage.
Erickson (1902) was trained in psychoanalytic theory but later developed his
own theory of psychosocial development that considers the importance of culture
and society in development of the personality.
One of the main concept of his theory, that a person’s social view of himself of
herself is more important than instinctual drives in determining behavior, allows for
a more optimistic view of the possibilities for human growth.
To progress from one period to the text, the child reorganize his or her thinking
processes to bring them closer to reality.
Health, defined.
The WHO defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Political Factors
This factor refers to one’s leadership, how he rules, manages and how other people
concerned are followed to actively participate in the decision making process.
1. Political will – the determination to pursue something that is in the interest of the
majority.
2. Empowerment – the ability of the person to do something; it involves creating
the circumstances where people can use their faculties and abilities at maximum
level in the pursuit of common goals.
Economic Factors
This refers to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services and
how these affect health and development. A study of this factor leads one to look into
economic factor influence how, and at what point, the client enters the health care
system.
