Faye Glenn Abdellah being the pioneer in nursing research, she focused on the following in her nursing theory:
1. Better nursing care after evidence-based researches
2. Nursing is patient centered which focuses on the health needs of the individual
3. 21 Nursing problems as the guidelines in nursing care
4. To include family of the patient in the nursing care plan
We find all of these assertions in our practice as nurses. We focus on the health needs of our patient and at the same time we include the family or primary caregiver in the care plan. Our interventions are based on the identified nursing problems. These should be evidence-based practices to assure the quality and safe outcomes.
