Neuman's Theory of Border Control

Neuman's Theory of Border Control focuses on how individuals and systems respond to challenges and maintain stability. In this context, "borders" represent the boundaries of health, well-being, or adaptation. The theory posits that people interact with their environment, managing stressors through various protective mechanisms. When faced with challenges, they can either adapt or experience disruption. The theory emphasizes holistic care, looking at the person in their entirety—emotional, physical, and social aspects—to enhance resilience and promote overall well-being while navigating life's complexities.
