Sensation theory
Jean Johnson
PhD, RN, FAAN
Professor Emerita of Nursing
University of Rochester, New York. |
Johnson's Theory is
"Discrepancy between expected and experienced physical
sensations (what is felt seen, heard, tasted, and
smelled) during a threatening experience will result
in distress."
The middle range nursing theory by Jean Johnson
indicates that affective and psychomotor knowledge and
preparation prior to threatening events such as
surgery increases cooperation and decreases anxiety
about those events. For the quality outcome of
decreased anxiety to occur, however, the nurse in
practice, must apply the key elements of the middle
range theory (e.g. preoperative teaching is specific
to and congruent with the actual experience of the
patient).
As a surgical nurse, Dr. Jean Johnson "had a hunch"
that patient’s distress during and after surgery or
invasive procedures could be reduced by patient
teaching. There was no research indicating what kind
of teaching would reduce anxiety, and information can
make some patients fearful and more anxious. She
wanted a better way to calm the patient who fears the
worst and went on to much more: Innovation in
patient-teaching techniques applicable today.

made by nurses.” She explains that nurses can foster
beneficial placebo effects.
