Humane Holistic Care for Patients
Virginia
Avernal Henderson
1897 - 1996 |
Virginia Henderson defined
nursing as "assisting individuals to gain independence
in relation to the performance of activities
contributing to health or its recovery" (Henderson,
1966, p. 15).
She categorized nursing activities into 14 components,
based on human needs. She described the nurse's role
as substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary
(helping the person), or complementary (working with
the person), with the goal of helping the person
become as independent as possible.
