Comparison of Theories: Nightingale versus Leininger Nursing is a profession that requires skill, compassion and knowledge. In order for nurses to use these qualities in an efficient and appropriate way, many theories are collaborated and used in everyday practice. Two major theorists are Florence Nightingale and Madeleine Leininger. Although the theories developed by these famous nurses are extremely different, it is easy to see the amazing impact that they have both had on today’s nursing practice
The definition of Nursing according to ANA is the “protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” (NursingWorld).

Nurse, person, environment, and health, referred to as the four metaparadigms, are the roots of the tree.

Through the efforts of these philosophers, nursing has developed into a respected discipline. The theoretical writings of Drs. Newman, Rogers, Watson, Parse, and Fawcett contributed
Journal Entry No.4 For this journal entry I have been asked to describe the philosophical claims of 2 nursing models and the 4 metaparadigm concepts of each. I have chosen the Roper Logan Tierney model and the Orem Self – Care model. According to the Roper Logan Tierney model of nursing health is synonymous with Activities of daily Living (AL’S), inability to interact with an AL is a direct reflection of one’s health.

Watson takes pride in this part of the theory as she considers her work a blue print for nursing’s ever evolving professional world, rather than an unchanging theory. The second major element of Watson’s theory is Transpersonal Healing Relationships. Watson (2000) states “transpersonal conveys a concern for the inner life world and subjective meaning of another who it fully embodies” (p. 3).
