Ida Jean Orlando: A Nursing Process Theory (Notes on Nursing Theories)

By Norma Jean Schmieding

Orlando, one of the leading nurse theorists, sees nursing as the means of providing direct assistance to individuals to avoid, relieve, diminish, or cure the person′s sense of helplessness. Further, she focuses on communication within the nurse-client relationship and identifies the validation process as essential to effective nursing care. After a brief biographical sketch, the author of this monograph describes the origin of Orlando′s theory, its assumptions, the major dimensions of the theory, its propositions and implied research, and its applications to practice. This volume ends with a glossary of important terms. Ida Jean Orlando will appeal to beginning nursing students as well as more advanced students and nurses looking for a succinct overview of the theory.
