EVOLUTION OF THEORY
Virginia Henderson was the nurse-theorist who devoted her
career to defining nursing practice. She believed that an
occupation that affects human life must outline its functions
particularly if it is to be regarded as profession. Her ideas
about definition of nursing were influenced by her nursing
education and practice by her students and colleagues at
Columbia University School of Nursing, and by distinguished
nursing leaders of her time. Two events are the basis for
her development of definition of nursing and these are:

STRENGTHS
The concept of nursing formulated by
Henderson in her definition of nursing and the
14 components of basic nursing is
uncomplicated and self-explanatory. Therefore,
it can be used without difficulty as a guide for
nursing practice by most nurses.
Hendersons work is relatively simple yet
generalizable with some limitations.
Her work can be applied to the health of
individuals of all ages.
Each of the 14 activities can be the basis for
research.

WEAKNESS
A major shortcoming in her work is
the lack of a conceptual linkage
between physiological and other
human characteristics.
No concept of the holistic nature of
human being.
Lacks inter-relate of factors and the
influence of nursing care.
