Neuman Systems Model

The Neuman Systems Model views a person as a dynamic system influenced by internal and external factors. It emphasizes the balance between these influences and the environment, which can affect health. The model sees individuals as open systems that respond to stressors—events or conditions that challenge stability. Nurses use this model to assess threats, strengthen defenses, and promote stability through various interventions. It highlights the importance of understanding how different forces interact and impact health, encouraging comprehensive care that considers the whole person within their environment.
