About nursing theories

1. LYDIA HALL Core, Care & Cure model Presented by: Ms Kanwal Qaiser

2. Concepts Behavior : Refers to everything that is said or done. It is dictated by feelings both conscious and unconscious. Reflection: Refers to a method of communication in which selected verbalizations for the patient are repeated back to him using different phraseology, to invite him to explore his feelings further. Self awareness: refers to state of being that nurses attempt to help their patient’s achieve. The more self awareness a person has about his or her feelings, the more control he has over his behavior.

3. Concepts contd.. Phases of medical care : Two phases are: Biologically critical: Patients receive intensive medical care and multiple diagnostics. Non acute, recovery phase of illness: This stage is conducive to learning and rehabilitation. This is the time for wholly professional nursing care. Wholly P rofessional Nursing : It implies nursing care given exclusively by registered nurses in behavioral sciences who take responsibility and opportunity to co-ordinate and deliver the roles of nurturing, teaching and advocacy in the fostering of healing.

4. CONCLUSION Hall used her knowledge of psychiatry and nursing experiences in the Loeb Center as a framework for formulating the Care, Core and Cure Theory. Her model contains three independent but interconnected circles. The three circles are: the core, the care, and the cure. The core is the patient, the cure refers to the medical and nursing interventions and the care is the nurturing provided by nurses. Nursing functions in all three of the circles but shares them to different degrees with other disciplines . Even though Hall confined her concepts for patients with the age of 16 years and above, the concepts of care, core and cure can still be applied to every age group but again, none was specified.

5. This theory puts emphasis on the importance of the total patient rather than looking at one part or aspect . There is also emphasis put on all three aspects of the theory, the three Cs, functioning together. And for a nurse to successfully apply Hall’s theory, the individual must pass an acute stage of illness. In this theory, no nursing contact with healthy individuals, families, or communities, contradicts the concept of health maintenance and disease prevention.
