Theory of Goal Attainment
Theory of Goal Attainment
Generally speaking, nursing care’s goal is to help individuals maintain health or regain health (King, 1990). Concepts are essential elements in theories. When a theory is derived from a conceptual system, concepts are selected from that system. Remember my question: What is the essence of nursing? The concepts of self, perception, communication, interaction, transaction, role, growth and development, stress, time, and personal space were selected for the theory of goal attainment.
