Concepts and Prototypes

589
The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Thermodynamic Systems

8.7K
A thermodynamic system is a set of objects whose thermodynamic properties are of interest. The system is considered to be embedded in its surroundings or the environment. The system and its environment can exchange heat and do work on each other through a boundary that separates them. However, the immediate surroundings of the system interact with it directly and therefore have a much stronger influence on its behavior and properties.
Consider an example of  tea boiling in a kettle. The...

Concepts of Health and Illness

18.8K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

427
Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Natural and Artificial Concepts01:24

Natural and Artificial Concepts

597
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

Understanding Self-Concept01:20

Understanding Self-Concept

335
The self-concept encompasses individuals' beliefs about themselves, structured through cognitive frameworks known as self-schemas. These schemas function as mental representations of specific traits or behaviors, influencing how self-relevant information is perceived, processed, and remembered. For example, individuals who are schematic for body weight are more likely to interpret routine experiences—such as dining out or shopping—through the lens of that trait. Conversely, those...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Theory
  • Systems Theory
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • The Neuman Systems Model (NSM) is a holistic framework for nursing.
  • The concept of 'environment' is central to the NSM.
  • Understanding the 'created environment' is crucial for applying the NSM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the understanding of the Neuman Systems Model's concept of the created environment.
  • To explain how the created environment elaborates on core NSM variables.
  • To build upon the work of Neuman Systems Model scholar Frans Verberk.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the Neuman Systems Model.
  • Literature review focusing on the created environment within the NSM.
  • Synthesis of existing scholarship on the NSM, including work by Frans Verberk.

Main Results:

  • The created environment in the NSM is an elaboration of its core variables.
  • This perspective integrates physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual aspects.
  • The essay provides a deeper conceptualization of the NSM's environmental context.

Conclusions:

  • The concept of the created environment offers a nuanced understanding of the NSM.
  • Integrating the created environment enhances the application of the NSM in practice and research.
  • Further exploration of the created environment can enrich nursing theory development.
