Major concepts are the person or group as an adaptive system; the environment as internal and external stimuli; health as being and becoming whole and integrated; and nursing as the art and science of promoting adaptation. The philosophic and scientific assumptions are basic underlying concepts. The model aims to direct nursing practice, research and education.
