Nurse - Health - Education Theorists and Researchers: A question ...

The theoretical and practical basis for Hodges' Health Career - Care Domains - Model

[A living project or all Petered out?]

1. Assumptions underlying the conceptual model are made explicit.

Please see below:

individual

|

INTERPERSONAL : SCIENCES

humanistic ----------------------------------------------- mechanistic

SOCIOLOGY : POLITICAL

|

group - population

INTRA- INTERPERSONAL domain	SCIENCES domain
SOCIOLOGY - CULTURE domain	POLITICAL domain

2. A complete description of all four concepts of nursing's metaparadigm* are presented.

*person, environment, health / illness and nursing

 

Please see, or search - the relevant tags on this blog for posts on the above concepts and the bibliographical listing.

 

If in addition you would be interested in addressing this assumption specifically please get in touch.

 

3. Propositions of the conceptual model completely link the four metaparadigm concepts.

 

 

Hodges' model can be used to do this and link the health and related challenges as exemplified in the sustainable development goals.

 

4. The internal structure of the conceptual model is logically congruent.

 

 

As required, Hodges' model could utilise several 'logics' applicable across disciplines, domains and contexts; the challenge would be the interface and translation of logics and criteria by which 'congruence' is evaluated?

 

5-7. The conceptual model is socially congruent, socially significant and socially useful.

 

 

There are numerous posts on this blog that (to varying degrees) address assumptions 5-7 and in the bibliography to date.

 

8. Empirical evidence in support of the model has accumulated.

 

In 2020 it was encouraging to learn of two new papers - listed in the bibliography [sidebar] - the authors of which applied Hodges' model.

 

As noted above if I can help you apply Hodges' model, or assist you please let me know.
