Practice Model
 

Rear Admiral Faye Glenn Abdellah

Ed.D., LL.D., Sc.D., R.N., F.A.A.N.

 


Faye Glenn Abdellah developed a list of 21 unique nursing problems related to human needs, demonstrating the Nurse as a problem solver who provides care for the whole individual. She has helped transform the practice of nursing and raised its standards by introducing scientific research into nursing and patient care.
Her more than 150 publications, including her seminal works, Better Nursing Care Through Nursing Research and Patient-Centered Approaches to Nursing, changed the focus of nursing theory from a disease-centered to a patient-centered approach and moved nursing practice beyond the patient to include care of families and the elderly. Her Patient Assessment of Care Evaluation method to evaluate health care is now the standard for the nation.
