theory/models in the OR?

Hi everyone.

Quick question, I have been searching for days and cant find anything that works. Every-time I think I've found something I realize it doesn't fit!

I am trying to find a nursing model or theory that would apply to or is used in the OR. I am writing a paper, I just cant decide on a theory that fits! Any ideas would be very helpful...I'm going in circles trying to find one!

    Almost any theory/model CAN work in the OR. One of the easier ones to fit would be Virginia Henderson's theory. The patient in the OR can't do much for himself -- so the nurse does it for him.

    If you want to use Orem ... The patient is not able to exercise self-care ... so the nurse acts as the patient's agent in a wholly compensatory manner.

    Either of those two would work well.

    These are two of the ones I talked myself out of! I'm terrible I spend the entire time researching and then run out of time for writing! I already used Orem in my personal philosophy paper so it would be easy to use her again...i guess it just didnt feel exactly right. I will look more into Henderson though. Thanks so much for replying.

    You're welcome. If you are already well-versed in Orem, I suggest using it. That way, you would be basing your work on your philosophy and could build on that philosophy paper.
