Conservation Principles
Major Concepts of Conservational model
Goal of the model is to promote adaptation and maintain wholeness using the principles of conservation Model guides the nurse to focus on the influences and responses at the organismic level Nurse accomplishes the goal of model through the conservation of energy, structure and personal and social integrity
Adaptation
Every individual has a unique range of adaptive responses The responses will vary by heredity, age, gender or challenges of illness experiences While the responses are same, the timing and manifestation of organismic responses will be unique for each individual pulse rate. An ongoing process of change in which patient maintains his integrity within the realities of environment Achieved through the "frugal, economic, contained and controlled use of environmental resources by individual in his or her best interest"
Wholeness
Exist when the interaction or constant adaptations to the environment permits the assurance of integrity Promoted by use of conservation principle
Conservation
The product of adaptation "Keeping together "of the life systems or the wholeness of the individual Achieving a balance of energy supply and demand that is with in the unique biological realities of the individual
Conservational Principle
Conservation of energy Conservation of structural integrity Conservation of personal integrity Conservation of social integrity
1. Conservation of energy
Refers to balancing energy input and output to avoid excessive fatigue includes adequate rest, nutrition and exercise
Example:
Availability of adequate rest Maintenance of adequate nutrition
2. Conservation of structural integrity
Refers to maintaining or restoring the structure of body preventing physical breakdown And promoting healing
Example:
Assist patient in ROM exercise Maintenance of
