Major Concepts

Ida Jean Orlando's Deliberative Nursing Process theory has 4 key concepts that makes the metaparadigm as all nursing theories have which defines the person, environment, health, and nursing. Ida Jean Orlando's notion of Nursing Process Discipline only includes three of the four concepts: person, health, and nursing.

Human Beings

Orlando utilizes the word "human" to underline the uniqueness of each person and the fluidity of the nurse-patient connection. She views the patients as the focus of nursing practice. For Orlando, patients are "human beings in need" because she views her work as being centered on helping those in need. She also views human beings as developmental beings with demands, subjective sensations and feelings that may not be directly observable.

Health

As per Orlando's theory, as the cause of a nursing need, health is replaced by a feeling of helplessness. She claimed that nursing works with those who need help. She also stated that a sense of sufficiency or well-being, comfort, and needs all contribute to health.

Environment

Orlando did not explicitly define the environment in her theory. Her theory completely ignored the surrounding circumstances, concentrating only on the patient's immediate needs, particularly the interaction and behavior between the nurse and the patient (only an individual in her theory; no families or groups were mentioned). There was also no idea made or mentioned of the impact that the patient's environment might have.

Nursing

Orlando describes nursing as unique and autonomous in that it cares about something like a person's need for assistance right away and is concentrated largely on the patient receiving care, and demands an integrated approach to patient support systems, family members, social and recreational activities and spiritual requirements. Nursing care is available to those who are experiencing or anticipate feeling helpless. 

The actions used to respond to the person's request for assistance are conducted in an interactive setting and in a disciplined manner that calls for appropriate training. Its goal is to develop a sense of well-being, increase capacity, participate in improved self-care, and improve patient behavior.
