AND CHARACTERISTICS
OF A THEORY
Characteristic 1
Practice –Abdellah’s
typology of 21 nursing problems
helps nurses and nursing students perform in
a scientific, systematic way. Using this scientific
foundation will empower the nurse to give meaning
to each and every nursing action that he/ she will
perform. Using the 21 nursing problems technique,
the clinical practitioner could asses the patient,
make a nursing diagnosis and plan interventions.
Education –Abdellah’s typology of 21 nursing
problems had the most potent effect on the
educational system. Educators came to the
realization that revisions are of prime importance if
nurses were to become self-governing. They saw
that the biggest flaw in the profession was the
absence or limited base of a scientific body of
knowledge unique to nursing. The typology satisfied
this void and gave the most crucial and timely
opportunity to move away from the medical
replica of cultivating nurses.
Research – The typology of 21 nursing problems was
produced through research; therefore it is expected
that more research followed after its introduction to
the academic world. Intensive research, like the
function studies (a type of research) scrutinized the
quantity of time the nurses spent with the patient.
The typology utilized by abdellah hand starch an
became the root for cultivating the nursing care
mode land was then employed for setting up the
staffing outline in clinical settings. The staffing
patterns were found on the patient’s identified
needs and, as Abdellah foresaw, they comprise of: –
Intensive care –Intermediate care –Long-term care –
Self care –Home-care units
