No particular nursing leader had a
direct influence in theory development
Credits her theory to all the nurses she
worked with and graduate students
she taught.

that of a moderate realism
FOUNDATIONS OF SCDNT

unitary beings who exist in their
environments, who are in the process
of becoming, and who possess free-will
as well as other essential human
qualities

Believed that individuals engage in
actions required for functioning in life
People Self-determine and have the
ability to grow in life
People have the capacity and right to
so
The nurse collaborates with the
patient to meet their needs

outcome of taking care of self

Demonstrates why people need nurses
Definitions
