Nursing Conceptual Models
n Nursing conceptual models are concepts and their relationships that specify a
perspective and produce evidence among phenomena specific to the discipline.
n Conceptual models address broad metaparadigm concepts (human beings,
health, nursing, and environment) that are central to their meaning in the
context of the particular framework and the discipline of nursing.
n Nursing conceptual models provide perspectives with different foci for
critical thinking about persons, families, and communities, and for making
knowledgeable nursing decisions.
