The First King’s of Nursing April Marie Cannon R.N. Aspen University 11/27/2017 Abstract In this essay I will discuss King’s Conceptual System Theory. Explain the 3 systems and provide examples of each system. How the systems influence goal attainment. How could King’s theory help define a clinical quality problem? Apply this theory to a potential practice quality improvement initiative within your clinical practice. What are some committee’s that can align the outcomes using King’s Conceptual System Theory and what other nursing theory could improve quality of practice initiative? {First Kings Theory} King proposed a conceptual system for nursing around four concepts. Which are social systems, health, perception, and interpersonal relationships. These areas were identified by using inductive and deductive reasoning, critical thinking, and researching nursing literature. (King, 1971). Role, status, social organization, communication, information, and energy were identified as basic concepts of functions of systems. King expressed how important it was to advance your degree and knowledge and how important it was for nursing as a profession. The medical field is always changing and Technology is always changing. In the field of nursing your career you're always going to have to get a new certification. Regulations change all the time and the state board of nursing are you always need to have clinical certain clinical hours are certain standards to uphold. { Three Interacting Systems } The Theory of Goal Attainment was developed by Imogene King in the early 1960s. The model has three interacting systems: personal, interpersonal, and social. Each of these systems has its own set of concepts. The concepts for the personal system are perception, self, growth and development, body image, space, and time. The concepts for the interpersonal system are interaction, communication, transaction, role, and stress. The concepts for the social system are organization, authority, power, status, and decision-making.
