- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Current occupational health nursing models lack a defined problem-solving framework.
- Established concepts in occupational health nursing require re-evaluation.
- There is a need for innovative models to enhance nursing practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To critique existing occupational health nursing models.
- To introduce a novel model for occupational health nursing.
- To facilitate a problem-solving approach within the discipline.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of current occupational health nursing models.
- Conceptual analysis of established nursing theories.
- Development of a new occupational health nursing model.
Main Results:
- Existing models are insufficient for a structured problem-solving approach.
- Key limitations of current models are identified.
- A new model is proposed to address identified gaps.
Conclusions:
- Occupational health nursing requires updated theoretical models.
- The proposed model supports a proactive, problem-solving methodology.
- Further research should explore the application of the new model.
