Nurses use theory in the form of concepts, principles, processes, and the like, to sharpen their observations and to
understand the phenomena within the domain of nursing practice. Such understanding precedes and serves as a basis
for determining nursing actions to be taken. Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process fostering Quality Care Delivery.

theoretical base for nursing is partially self-generated and partially drawn
from other fields; the resulting insights are integrated into a foundation for nursing practice. Nursing is primarily an
applied science: it uses the results of nursing research (which tend to be specifically related to the human responses of
concern to nurses) and it selects theories from many other sciences on the basis of their explanatory value in relation
to the phenomena nurses diagnose and treat. Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process fostering Quality Care Delivery.The range of theories nurses use includes intrapersonal, interpersonal, and
systems theories. Intrapersonal theories explain within-person phenomena. Interpersonal theories aid understanding of
interactions between two or more people. Systems theories provide explanations of complex networks or organizations,
the dynamics of their parts and processes in interaction. Use of this range of theories is necessary because the various
conditions within the purview of nursing cannot be understood in terms of cause-effect relations only, but also requires
knowledge of system dynamics, pattern and process interactions. When responses to actual health problems are being
treated, the nature of the difficulty and its causes (when known) require theory application for full understanding of
extant problems. Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process fostering Quality Care Delivery.When response to potential health problems or maintenance of health are the focus for the nursing
action, theories that aid conceptualization of optimal functioning of individual capacities and processes and of
the dynamics of human systems are applied to determine reordering of behavior or life styles congruent with healthy
living. Thus, theory selected for application in nursing practice is chosen for its relevance to the task at hand. The ideas
and theories of the individual practitioner influence nursing practice in focus and action. Ideally, the actions of the nurse

evaluation or readjustment.
Actions: The aims of nursing actions are to ameliorate, improve, or correct conditions to which those practices are
directed, to prevent illness, and to promote health. Ideally, actions are taken on the basis of understood fact
(phenomena). In carrying out nursing care, highly developed technical and interpersonal skills are equally as important
as the sensitive observation and intellectual competencies required for the nurse in the nursing situation to arrive at a
diagnosis (explanation of a problem at hand) and determination of beneficial nursing actions to be taken.Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process fostering Quality Care Delivery. Treatment of a
diagnosed condition involves nursing actions that can be described and explained theoretically as to then-relation to

Various nursing theories guide clinical practices. This discussion will focus on the application of Peplau’s Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process to my current emergency care nursing clinical practice. It will address how the happenings of the nursing profession that influenced the origin of this theory. It will also discuss evidence, values or existing knowledge cited by the theorist to support this theory. Finally, it will capture the motivation of the theorist to write this theory.Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process fostering Quality Care Delivery.
The happenings of the nursing profession influenced the origin of Peplau’s Interpersonal Theory of Nursing Process. This theory states that an interpersonal and therapeutic process occurs when healthcare professionals, especially those trained to become nurses, engage in therapeutic relationships with individuals in need of care services (Arabacı & Taş, 2019). Therefore, this theory’s origin was influenced by the need for a thera
