Summary
New models are needed for chronic illness care. This study presents the Model for Promoting Process Engagement, a client-focused approach developed by advanced practice nurses (APNs) through theory synthesis.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Healthcare Management
- Chronic Illness Care
Background:
- Current models for chronic illness care require enhancement for integrative patient management.
- Complexities in managing chronic conditions necessitate innovative care delivery approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the theory synthesis process used to develop a client-focused approach for advanced practice nurse (APN) management of chronic illness.
- To introduce the Model for Promoting Process Engagement as a theory-driven intervention for chronic illness care.
Main Methods:
- Theory synthesis process utilized for model development.
- Integration of previously developed theoretical models by the authors.
- Focus on client-centered care strategies for chronic illness.
Main Results:
- Development of the Model for Promoting Process Engagement.
- A framework for APN management of chronic illness.
- An integrative approach to patient care.
Conclusions:
- The Model for Promoting Process Engagement offers a theory-driven intervention for APNs.
- This model addresses the complexities inherent in chronic illness management.
- The synthesized approach facilitates more integrative patient care.
