Designing a nursing care plan based on Johnson's behavioral model in patients with wrist joint hematoma: A case study
Abstract BACKGROUND Nurses can diagnose patients' problems using Johnson's pattern of behavior. This model is applicable and nurses can design and implement patient-based care in a clinical setting based on this model. This study was designed to use Johnson's behavioral model in the care of a middle-aged woman suffering from pain, edema and severe left wrist hematoma. Methods This study was conducted with the aim of determine the nursing care plan based on Johnson's behavioral model in patient with wrist joint hematoma in Iran since December 27, 2019 to January 4, 2020, on a case referred to Poursina Hospital in Rasht, Guilan Province, Iran. After assessing the patient, we propound seven main nursing diagnoses and planned them in 9 days according to the model. Results After evaluating the patient, the care program was implemented based on Johnson's behavioral model. We achieved caring goals after the intervention. Her appetite and sleep were better, and she became aware of the side effects of her lack of diet and care. She made more efforts to self-care. By using Johnson's care system after 9 days of inpatient care, she has improved her sense of independence, range of motion, self-esteem, sleep quality, increased desire for food, improved excretion and constipation, and we adjusted to reduce libido and use complementary therapies to improve it. Conclusion This model can be used as a general framework in the hospital to diagnose problems, evaluate and design a care program.
