Faye G. Abdellah’s Theory Abdellah’s model describes concerns of nursing rather
than a theory describing relationships among phenomena. Her theory provides a foundation for determining and organizing nursing care (McEwen,
“Nursing is based on an art and science that mold the attitudes, intellectual competencies, and technical skills of the individual nurse into the desire and ability to help people, sick or well, cope with their health needs” (Nursing Theories, 2010)
Originated from nursing practice & desire to promote patient-centered comprehensive care
Shifts focus of the profession from disease centered to patient centered
Concepts of health, nursing problems, and problem solving are interrelated

Applying Abdellah’s Theory to Current Nursing Practice
Marie: I find that parts of the theory fit my
physician office work well as it states that it “aims to help people, sick or well, cope with their health needs” (Nursing Theories, 2010) and that is the goal of primary care in physician offices.
The 21 nursing problems are relevant to the office setting just as they are to the hospital.
Keesha In the critical care setting, my current
practice has shifted from nursing care exclusive to the disease to addressing the patient’s immediate health care needs. Abdellah’s Theory equips me with specific guidelines as to how I can better manage a variety of patient conditions in the ICU.
Abdellah’s “Ten Ways of Identifying a Client’s Problem” is utilized in the clinical setting and are necessary in initiating and implementing the nursing care plan.
Nursing programs encourage nursing students to utilize patient- centered approaches in the clinical setting
Problem solving approach is utilized by practitioners in guiding treatment plans within their practice. Especially within practices that deals with clients who have specific health care needs and specific nursing problems (Nursing Theories, 2010)
