    Summary

    Nursing theory lacks focus on helping, yet assumptions about it persist. This paper analyzes these assumptions using recent helping models and discusses implications for nursing research and education.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Science
    • Healthcare Theory

    Background:

    • The concept of helping is foundational to nursing practice but underdeveloped in nursing theory and research.
    • Existing nursing conceptual models implicitly contain assumptions about the nature of helping.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze implicit assumptions about helping within current nursing conceptual models.
    • To apply recent theoretical models of helping (Brickman et al.) to nursing.
    • To explore nurses' perspectives on how nurses help.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis of nursing models using contemporary helping theories.
    • Qualitative exploration of nurses' views on helping behaviors.

    Main Results:

    • Identified implicit assumptions about helping in nursing models.
    • Nurses' descriptions of helping align with some theoretical constructs but reveal gaps.
    • Analysis highlights the need for explicit theoretical development of helping in nursing.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing theory and research must explicitly address the concept of helping.
    • Further research is needed to refine theoretical models of helping in nursing.
    • Educational strategies should incorporate a robust understanding of helping in nursing practice.
