Nursing practice model for maternal role sufficiency

Area of Science:

• Nursing
• Maternal Health
• Family Studies

Background:

• Nursing conceptual frameworks by Meleis (1975) focused on role insufficiency and supplementation.
• Millor developed a parental role sufficiency model for child abuse and neglect research.
• Existing models provide a foundation for understanding maternal role development and challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a nursing practice model centered on maternal role sufficiency.
• To integrate assessment of prenatal characteristics and developmental outcomes.
• To incorporate preventive role supplementation interventions.

Main Methods:

• The proposed model synthesizes concepts from Meleis and Millor.
• It involves assessing prenatal characteristics.
• It measures developmental and health-illness outcomes.
• It includes role supplementation as a preventive intervention.

Main Results:

• A comprehensive nursing practice model for maternal role sufficiency is presented.
• The model integrates assessment, outcome measurement, and intervention.
• It offers a framework for supporting maternal roles.

Conclusions:

• The proposed model provides a structured approach to enhancing maternal role sufficiency.
• It emphasizes proactive assessment and intervention in nursing practice.
• This framework can guide research and clinical support for mothers.
