Historical Evolution of Model
“Although she never intended to develop theory, she provided an organizational structure for teaching medical-surgical nursing and a stimulus for theory development (Stafford, 1996)”
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 226)

Myra Levine has published a number of works including:Introduction to Clinical Nursing - the first edition in 1969 and the second edition in 1973 (1973 edition written as a text book for beginning nursing students)Holistic Nursing - addressed the consequences of the four conservation principlesThe Four Conservation Principles: Twenty Years Later - included substantial change and clarification about her theory
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 226)

Myra Levine’s Conservation Model
“Focuses on conservation of the person’s wholeness. Adaptation is the process by which people maintain their wholeness or integrity as they respond to changes in their environment and become congruent with their environment”
(Kearney-Nunnery, 2008, p. 27)
![Page 5: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Conservation
“The way complex systems are able to function even when
severely challenged”(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 229)
![Page 6: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Model
WholenessAdaptationEnvironment
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 227)
![Page 7: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WholenessLevine borrowed Katie Erikson’s description of wholeness
“Wholeness emphasizes a sound, organic, progressive
mutuality between diversified functions and parts within and
entirety, the boundaries of which are open and fluent”
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 227)
![Page 8: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Adaptation
“The process of change where by the individual
retains his integrity within the realities of his internal and external environment”
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 227)

EnvironmentThree Sources of environment
Perceptual Environment: part of the environment that individuals respond with the sense organsOperational Environment: Aspects of the environment that are not directly perceived (cannot see, hear, feel or smell)Conceptual Environment: Language, ideas, symbols, concepts and inventions
(Kearney-Nunnery, 2008, p. 57)

Nurse’s Goal
“End dependence as soon as possible”
(Kearney-Nunnery, 2008, p. 37)
![Page 14: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trophicognosis
Alternative to nursing diagnosis.Scientific method of reaching a nursing care judgementAssessment and interventions are based on four major principles
![Page 15: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Principle #1Conservation of EnergyBeing able to complete activities without excessive fatigue
May include the assessment of:
Vitals signsBreathing patternsBehavior
(Kearney-Nunnery, 2008, 57)
Tolerance for required nursing interventionsActivity tolerance level
![Page 16: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conservation of Energy
Provides the framework to assess the patients ability to participate in care; provide individualized interventions to meet the patient’s needs and initiate measures to restore independence
![Page 17: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Principle #2Conservation of Personal Integrity
Conservation of personal integrity puts into prospective that a persons personal identity and self worth are noteworthy and need to be addressed to assist a person to the highest degree of adaptation possible.
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 229)
![Page 18: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conservation of Personal Integrity
A nurse must assess a persons feeling of self worth and integrity and integrate interventions to assist a person to attaining the highest level of self worthAssessments should be designed to detect signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety and feelings of uselessnessNursing interventions should be based on assisting the patient to achieve goals that will enhance his / her level of self esteem, self worth and feelings of usefulness; assisting in obtaining optimal psychosocial adaptation
![Page 19: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Principle #3Conservation of Social Integrity
Life gains meaning through social
communities and health is socially determined.
(Alligood & Tomey, 2008, p. 229)
![Page 20: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conservation of Social Integrity
A nurse must assess a patients interactions with family, social community, significant others, work and schoolOnce the nurse can identify the patient’s need to be socially involved; the nurse can provide interventions to assist the person to maintain or achieve the role in the community that fulfills the patients level of wholeness.Interventions will assist the patient to obtain optimal psychosocial adaptation
![Page 21: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Principle #4Conservation of Structural Integrity
Process of restoring physical functioning to regain
wholeness
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 229)
![Page 22: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conservation of Structural Integrity
This principle encompasses the head to toe physical assessment. Early recognition of patient decline or complications can prevent further injuryThis also would incorporate safety assessments and interventions to ensure that patients do not fall or sustain nosocomial infections during their hospital stayInterventions will assist the patient to optimal physiological adaptation
![Page 23: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Interventions
Therapeutic: May influence adaptation favorablySupportive: Cannot change the course but rather maintain status quo, or prevent a decline in status
(Kearney-Nunnery, 2008, p. 58)
![Page 24: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Evaluation Through the Organismic Response
The evaluation of the interventions can be determined via the patients organismic response (Kearney-Nunnery, 2008, p.58):
Fight / flightInflammatory responseResponse to stressPerceptual awareness (Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 228)
![Page 25: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Metaparadigms
PERSONView of the patient in a holistic view with integrity meaning freedom if choice and movementIncludes: Identity and self worthRefers to the person as a “system of systems”Refers to wholeness as the “expression of all contribution of parts and systems
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, pp.230-231)
HEALTH“Health is socially determined by the ability to function in a reasonably normal manner”“Social groups predetermine health”“the ability to return to one self and pursue interests in the context of one’s own resources
![Page 27: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ENVIRONMENT“Each person has his own
environment which includes internal (physiological and
pathophysiological) and external factors
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 227)
![Page 28: [PPT]Three Major concepts to Levine’s Conservation Modelmarijojohnsonportfolio.weebly.com/uploads/9/8/0/6/... · Web viewLevine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically](https://reader031.fdocument.pub/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac27f3a7f8b9ad73f8e2a86/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Metaparadigms
The metaparadigms of Levine’s nursing model encompass identifying the person as an individual within a unique environment. Nursing services focus on restoring independence including mind, body and soul.

Unique Concepts
Incorporates wholeness, adaptation, and conservation to address patient needs.Focuses on the individuals organismic response in the face of illness/disease, via fight or flight, inflammatory response to stress, perceptual awareness.Uses trophicognosis as an alternative to nursing diagnosisEncourages nurses to consider all 4 principles of conservation with each intervention to facilitate viewing the individual as a whole
(Alligood &Tomey, 2010)

Clinical practice
Levine’s Theory encompasses the person as a wholeHer assessment strategy takes into consideration the patient as a mind, body and soul, with the philosophy of all systems working together to make a whole“Treatment focuses on managing the flight fight response, inflammatory response, response to stress and perceptual awareness”
(Alligood &Tomey, 2010, p. 228)

Educational Benefit
“Wrote the textbook Introduction to Clinical Nursing for beginning nursing students and introduced new material into the curricula for new students”“Gives new nursing students the bases for scientific principles behind nursing interventions”“Some critics states that this text should be used as a supplement and not the primary text because it requires extensive knowledge of physical and social sciences”
(Alligood & Tomey, 2008, p. 231)

Current Research StatusNo current research on model itself, however “Many nursing researchers and practitioners adopt Levine’s model because the conservation principles provide a scientific and research-oriented approach to the majority of nursing interventions. Furthermore, as a theoretical framework, the rules of conservation and integrity are applicable to all aspects of nursing, from clinical practice to administration. As such, the conservation principles help anticipate and predict all fields of nursing practice by placing independent information into an organized framework.” (Leach, 2010) Areas currently using Levine model in research include: nursing care for preterm infants, cancer patients, CHF, weaning vented patients, post-anesthetic recovery, and pre-op, along with many others.

According to Levine herself,
“Several research projects using the Conservation Principles have demonstrated that it is a useful approach to bringing sound science to nursing knowledge. I think that will continue and grow from strength to strength. The underlying science principles from adjunctive disciplines which I have always felt were basic to the Conservation Principles have increased exponentially in the past thirty years and there is no reason to believe it won’t continue. That can only increase the research possibilities.” (Levine, 1996, p. 41)

Strengths of the Conservation Model
Clarity – “… Levine’s Conservation Model provides nursing with a logically congruent, holistic view of the person (p. 189)” “the theory directs nursing actions that lead to favorable outcomes (p. 237)”Simplicity – “…this model is still one of the simpler ones developed”Generality – “The four conservation principles can be used in all nursing contexts.”
(Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 233)

Conservation Model Limitations
“Despite the comprehensiveness and wide application of Levine’s theory, the model is not without limitation. For example, Levine’s conservation model focuses on illness as opposed to health; thus, nursing interventions are limited to addressing only the presenting condition of an individual. Hence, nursing interventions under Levine’s theory have a present and short-term focus and do not support health promotion principles, even though health promotion is an essential component of current nursing practice. Thus, Levine’s model does not add support to the use of interventions that prevent ulcer occurrence and reoccurrence in susceptible individuals.” (Leach, 2010)

New Insights
This model, originally developed to teach new nursing students, has evolved into a model used
throughout nursing practice

“It has been the basis for several doctoral dissertations and various studies by seasoned investigators. Clinicians use the model, most
commonly, to guide them in an orderly way as they assess the patient and gather the "provocative facts."”… “Educators find the process useful for
curriculum development and to teach the principles of health and well being.
Administratively, they have been used to identify process and outcome criteria, to evaluate the
quality of care rendered and as a guide for staff development. (Schaefer, Pond, Levine, Fawcell,
1991, pp 38-40.)” (Emerita, 1996)

Analysis
“The model is logically congruent, is externally and internally consistent, has breadth as well as depth, and is understood, with few exceptions, by professionals and consumers of health care. Nurses using the Conservation Model can anticipate, explain, predict, and perform patient care.” (Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 234)
