Application of Abdellah's theory to RESEARCH
by Group E's Ma. Rhoda Mifa
In fact, her researches on patient problems and needs serve as one of the foundations in the development and formulation of Nursing Diagnoses. Her contribution to Nursing theory development provided researchers systematic analysis of research reports and creation of 21 nursing problems that guide comprehensive care (Tomey and Alligood, 2014). Some of her researches paved the way to the idea of progressive patient care. In this framework, critical care patients were treated in an intensive care unit, followed by a transition to immediate care, and then home care (Wayne, 2014). Nowadays, these phases of progressive care have been essentially applied to restore health and independence through varieties of hospital and home care institutions.
