Abstract:
Aiming to carry out a critical and interpretative reflection about Joyce Travelbee's theory of Interpersonal Relation, we used a discursive segment of the model of theory analysis proposed by Meleis. The analysis specifically used the description of the model at the functional components: focus, client, nursing, health, nurse-client interaction, environment, nursing problems and nursing therapeutics. We identified the focus as the interpersonal nature of the relations, with the objective to help the client or the family. The other component had been identified within the theory, except for the term environment. The model of analysis is presented, therefore, as efficient while aiming the evaluation and adequacy of the theory to the scientific work.
